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? Dead Russian Composer Personality Test

My personality clearly shares much in common with that of Sergei Rakhmaninov, but don't you think I look a little like Dmitri Shostakovich? Maybe just a little?

You know- come to think of it, the resemblance IS kind eerie.. Be careful, I might start calling you Dmitri.

Maybe I will go as him for halloween. The costume looks kind of expensive, though.

That would be a hell of a toupee.
