 | If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Dmitri Shostakovich! I am a shy, nervous, unassuming, fidgety, and stuttery little person who began composing the same year I started music lessons of any sort. I wrote the first of my fifteen symphonies at age 18, and my second opera, "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District," when I was only 26. Unfortunately, Stalin hated the opera, and put me on the Enemy Of The People List for life. I nevertheless kept composing the works I wanted to write in private; some of my vocal cycles and 15 string quartets mock the Soviet System in notes. And I somehow was NOT killed in the process! And Harry Potter(c) stole my glasses and broke them! Who would you be? http://www.doppelgriff.com/russian/ Russian Composer Personality Test |
Addendum reciente:
Me aventé el de los compositores alemanes y sí, para variar, me tocó ahora ser Mahler... vaya novedad.
Aunque Mahler no es exactamente alemán... creo que ni él sabía qué nacionalidad tenía... ja!
Decía algo muy curioso:
Se sentía tres veces extranjero, i. Como bohemio en Austria, ii. Como austriaco entre alemanes, y iii. Como judío en el mundo... Uno siempre es intruso, nunca bien recibido.
Pobre Mahler.
