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

Nah, you're just communicating with the music :-) Besides, I know plenty of people who claim Shostakovich causes them physical pain ;-)



You know, if this comment thread goes on long enough, I could actually stand a chance of using each of my user icons at least once....

Playing Shostakovich, or listening?

Hmm... that sounds like a worthy goal.

Might take awhile, then.

I'm thinking it might be feasible for me to try to go on a CPT delegation in 2009.

You totally should. I'll even probably be back on speaking terms with them by then.

Man, I want to go to Colombia so bad!

Colombia would be a good place to go. I want to go to Palestine, though I want to go everywhere else too.

When you're there, see if you can locate the piece of my soul I left there, will ya?
