About Me

I am probably not you.Now, thanks to Asia, you get to find out about another couple of chaps who I'm not... or something like that.

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

Apparently, because I get my best work done while in transit, such as in a car, in an airplane, on a train, and because I happen to like the viola, I must somehow be like Hindemith. Che strano.
Take the Dead German Composer Test!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

First name that popped into my head is Stanislaw Lem . Unfortunately, he died recently (27 March 2006).
