Talk:Pavel Chesnokov

Leonard as a reference
I'm not sure I would consider any Western analysis of Russian music written during the height of the Cold War to be worth the paper it's written on. The Soviets hardly had a monopoly on the practice of spinning history to fit their preconceived notions. Is there anything more reliable that addresses the same issues? -- Bill-on-the-Hill (talk) 15:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * So any analysis of the Shostakovich symphonies by Western musicologists are all toilet paper? Interesting view point...  --Jubilee♫ clipman  03:13, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Please remove this rubbish
"Under communist rule, no one was permitted to produce any form of sacred art." - are you freaking kidding me? All great composers of Soviet Union produced sacred music - from Arkhangelsky to Schnittke. If you know nothing about music in Russia, please, don't write here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.125.6.1 (talk) 13:53, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
