Music trivia!!!<BR/>When a Russian composer named Dmitri Shostakovitch first peformed his piece "The Year 1905", his son said, "Papa, what if they hang you for this?" This piece tells the story of the slaughter of 1,000 serfs in St. Petersburg sqare in January 1905. It was performed, shortly after the Soviet invasion of Budapest, and in the music many heard, not the guards firing upon serfs, but tanks rolling into Hungary. It is a very, very cool piece of music.Follow my Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194209516387919765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15414540.post-1129574722035288742005-10-17T14:45:00.000-04:002005-10-17T14:45:00.000-04:00Mark, you really don't need to be so turgid.Mark, you really don't need to be so turgid.Giuseppe Ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825109896111176650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15414540.post-1129559974938458912005-10-17T10:39:00.000-04:002005-10-17T10:39:00.000-04:00Oh, go defenestrate yourself.I should add that I r...Oh, go defenestrate yourself.<BR/><BR/>I should add that I really wish journalists wouldn't feel obliged to include the word "revolutionary" every single bloody time they write about LvB.
