Vasily Pavlovich Solovyov-Sedoi (Василий Павлович Соловьёв-Седой; 25 April [O.S. 12 April] 1907a – 2 December 1979)[1] was a Russian classical composer who was born and died in Saint Petersburg.
Solovyov-Sedoi composed the music for the songs Solovi and Moscow Nights (Russian: Подмосковные вечера; transliterated as "Podmoskovnye Vechera").[2] Originally named Solovyov, when he entered the Russian "Composer's Union" he added the suffix "Sedoi", meaning grey, to avoid confusion with another composer with the same name.[2]
