Abstract
The article examines the creative biography of G. F. Gnesin, a bright and unusual Personality with a talent unique in its versatility: a singer, a dramatic artist and a writer. The youngest of a famous musical family, he has been long forgotten due to his tragic fate. However, a significant part of at least one aspect of his work – the literary heritage that miraculously survived – has recently been rediscovered and is studied and published. The unquestionable originality and value of this diverse heritage (poetry, drama, translations, as well as songs for children with music of his own) is supported by two examples: the only book published during G. Gnesin's lifetime and his recently discovered works. Information about his turbulent biography containing many "white spots" has been supplemented thanks to new archival materials. The discovery of another forgotten remarkable artist of the Silver Age and the call to study and master his legacy is the main pathos of this article.
