Vladimir Belov (1906–1989) was a Russian
pianist and
teacher.
A student of
Felix Blumenfeld, he launched a successful career as a concert pianist.
As a teacher in the
Moscow Conservatory, he was known to be very soft-spoken and lenient with students, whom he taught as a group (his entire class attended each lesson, taking turns at the piano). Among his students were Aleksandr Baltin and Edison Denisov. He also edited a few Russian sheet music editions (typically with many fingering options).
