[edit]Biography
[edit]Early years
Pann was born sometime between 1794 and 1798, in Sliven, Rumelia (in today's Bulgaria).[1][2] According to some accounts, his mother, Tomaida, was an ethnic Greek,[1][3][4] while his father, Pantoleon Petrov, was cuto-vlachian; it is known that he worked as a coppersmith bucket-maker,.[2][4][5] Various other interpretations state that Pantoleon Petrov, who died during Anton Pann's childhood,[1] was Aromanian ,[3] or Romanian.[1][3][4][6] The writer, who was the youngest of Petrov and Tomaida's three sons, eventually adopted the family name Pann, as a colloquial contraction of his father's given name.[2]
After he began primary education at the communal school in Sliven, the Petrovs fled the region during the Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812 and settled in Chişinău, Bessarabia, where Anton was first employed by a Russian Orthodox choir.[1][2][4]His two brothers were killed in the skirmishes around Brăila, as volunteers on the Imperial Russian side.[1][2][4] Moving with his mother to Bucharest in 1810-1812, Pann would spend most of his life in the city.[2][4]
Anton Pann carried on with his choral activities in Wallachia, was employed as a sexton by the Romanian Orthodox Olari and Sfinţilor Churches, before being tutored by Dionisie Fotino and allowed to attend the religious music school founded byPetru Efesiul (1816).[1][2][6] Perfecting his craft, he came to the attention of Metropolitan Dionisie Lupu, who appointed him on a commission charged with translating liturgical works from Slavonic to Romanian.[2][6] The memoirist Ion Ghica later recounted that Pann attended the Saint Sava College, but this remains disputed.[2][4] In 1820, he first got married to a woman named Zamfira Azgurean, in what was to be the first of his unhappy romantic liaisons.[1][2]
