Nikoghayos Tigranian (31 August 1856, Gyumri - 17 February 1951, Yerevan) was an Armenian composer, ethnomusicologist and pianist. People's Artist of Armenia (1933). Hero of Labour (1936). For the first time Braille System was implemented in Armenia in 1921 by composer Nikoghos Tigranyan, in Gyumri school founded by him. Blind from the age of 9, he studied at the Vienna Institute for the Blind (1873–80) and Saint Petersburg Conservatory (with Rimsky-Korsakov). He collected Armenian folk music, which he used in arrangements (many for piano) and original works. Tigranian was the first composer to translate such music into orchestral terms.
