Vasyl Pashchenko

Not to be confused with the 18th-century Russian composer Vasily Pashkevich.

Vasyl Pashchenko (1822–24 January (5 February) 1891) was a Ukrainian composer. He born in the village of Buda-Horobievska, Kiev Governorate, Russian Empire. He lived in Odesa. He composed works for piano (including the polonaises "On the Death of T. Shevchenko" (1861) and "Thought about Ukraine", a transcription of the Ukrainian folk song "I'm Going Across the Neman", a Bulgarian march, a waltz, a mazurka, and a polka), and romances that used Ukrainian folk music.

Pashchenko died on 5 February 1891 in a Ukrainian village in the Kiev Governorate. He was buried at the First Christian Cemetery, Odesa[1] which was destroyed in 1937 when the authorities opened Ilyich Park. Some of his works are to be found in volume 5 of Ukrainian Piano Music (Kyiv, 1974).
