Could You Live Without Russian Music?

[LKB]

No.

I don't believe I could, especially since Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Scriabin et. al. are Russian! For me, it's not the people but the people who are in power that is the problem. One has to be able to distinguish the two in order to actually enjoy Russian music or music from any country.

Technically yes, but would rather not.
Let me know the name of the time traveler who is going back in time to murder Prokofiev as a baby, and give me a knife and his location.

I will help him.
Lol just kidding, of course, still love Prokofiev.

Technically yes, of course, it wouldn't cause my death.

But like Todd said - why? I don't believe it contributes anything to the fight against a warmongering dictator to deprive myself of artistic work by people who died before the war started.

This thread was a stupid idea. Time to lock it.
