thebes Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Can't even pronounce yet alone spell his last name but according to the Dead Russian Composer Test, I'm this guy. Don't know if it's been posted before but if not get in touch with your Russian soul: http://www.doppelgriff.com/russian/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Nice to see you here Sergei! I'm Sergei also, what a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblio Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 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© stole my glasses and broke them! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 That's weird, I'm Sergei, too! Looks like the test is anti-Stravinsky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hmmm...I am Igor Stravinsky! How can that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Which weirdo will admit they are tchaikovski that's what i'm waiting for. Just in case you are wondering, if you answer vodka to every question you will be Modest Mussorgsky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest srobak Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Everybody knows that Fyodor Chevchenko kiled Sergei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldenough Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I let my wife complete it for me, she knows me much better than i know myself, and she is honest. i'm a Stravinsky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I didn't get this at first, reverse-engineered it by picking what I thought were his characteristics, and sure enough got Tchaikovsky. Then I chose characteristics of a mild-mannered bureaucrat who wrote about chemistry experiments and wanted his music turned into a Broadway musical (Kismet), and sure enough got Alexander Borodin.

Groomlakearea51 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 The Modest Mussorgsky approach (answer vodka to every question...) is hilarious.... My favorite classical composition is his Pictures at an Exhibition. But he was certainly a lover of the distilled potato..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germerikan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I am Igor Stravinsky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I am hugely confused as I thought Stockhausen or Kagel would have come up even though they aren't Russian. Son of a 19th Century Russian prince and a...non-royal...mother, youwent to medical school and became a biochemist. Most people, however,(and probably your twenty cats as well) agree that they'd trade all ofyour scientific discoveries for another set of "Polovetsian Dances."
