On Eduard Pashinyan's 100th Birth Anniversary

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Eduard Ruben Pashinyan, a unique teacher, lecturer, and professor, renowned for his exceptional pedagogical skills. Originally written in 1994 for the medical journal, it was the only article written on the occasion of Pashinyan 's 75th birthday, it is now being re-published in English with some additions. Professor Pashinyan highly appreciated the article and personally invited the author to participate in his tribute evening at the Conservatory. The article presents the professor both as a doctor and a musicologist, demonstrating how these two different professions merged in the life of a hardworking and dedicated individual with a scientific mindset. Throughout his career he remained faithful to both fields, which had been dear to him since childhood and, by fate, accompanied him throughout his professional activity.
