From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:Dead Russian Composer Personality Test
Dead Russian Composer Personality Test
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!Posted by Mindles H. Dreck at July 18, 2002 9:42 PM | TrackBack | Technorati inbound links
