People's Artist of the Turkmen SSR (1967). He graduated from the St. Petersburg Institute of Technology (1909). At the same time he took lessons in music theory and composition from Vasily Kalafati. Then he decided to devote himself to music and entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory in the composition class, from which he graduated in 1913. He studied under A. K. Glazunov, N. A. Sokolov, N. N. Cherepnin, and I. I. Vitol in 1914 - 1916. He worked as an accompanist and teacher in the Musical-Historical Society of Count A.D. Sheremetev. After the October Socialist Revolution, until 1936, he left his musical career and worked as an engineer. During this period, he composed a small number of chamber works: romances to verses by Fyodor Sologub, Igor Severyanin, Ivan Rukavishnikov, and Konstantin Balmont (1919-1923), sonatina for piano (1923), sonata for cello and piano (1935), etc. In 1937, at the invitation of film director Leonid Obolensky, he followed him to Ashgabat to work in an opera studio created there. Having studied the Turkmen national musical material, in 1939 he created music for the play "Zohre and Takhir" based on the plot of the Turkmen classic Mollanepes , then reworked it into the opera of the same name, which opened the Turkmen Opera and Ballet Theater on November 6, 1941. Later he created a number of operas on Turkmen national themes - according to the usual Soviet practice, in collaboration with the composers of the titular nation: Veli Mukhatov and Dangatar Ovezov... In addition, Shaposhnikov wrote the Turkmen Rhapsody (1940) and the Turkmen March (1949) for orchestra, a concert for piano and orchestra on Turkmen themes (1947; 2nd edition 1953); two choirs on words by Makhtumkuli and other compositions with a local flavor. In 1941-1948, he served as deputy chairman of the board of the Union of Composers of the Turkmen SSR. Having suffered during the Ashgabat earthquake , he returned to Moscow, but until the end of his life he continued to work on Turkmen themes and cooperate with musical organizations of Turkmenistan. In 1955 he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, in 1967 - the honorary title "People's Artist of the Turkmen SSR". He is buried at the Vagankovskoye cemetery (11 ac.). In recent years, Shaposhnikov's main operas - "Zohre and Takhir" and "Shasenem and Garib", have been resumed in Turkmenistan; according to the modern Turkmen music critic, “Shaposhnikov planted the seeds of classical Western musical and theatrical art in the fertile Turkmen soil, from which a unique, distinctive phenomenon - the Turkmen opera - emerged and expanded widely. The main thing in his work is that extraordinary caution, solicitude, sensitivity with which he approached the national material. The melody of traditional Turkmen melodies in his works remained unchanged, the original motives were created according to folk samples, with small creative variations, and the timbre coloring of the folk instruments was reflected in the orchestration. This extraordinary modesty and scrupulousness of the composer Adrian Shaposhnikov, who utterly respected the national foundations of the works he performed, became the guarantee of a nationwide love for his music, which is still alive today” Outside Turkmenistan, the Sonata for Flute and Harp (1926, 2nd edition 1962), recorded, in particular, by Louise Di Tullio and Susan MacDonald, continues to enjoy popularity.
