Overall: @CurryTime7-24: Good article. Waiting on QPQ though I do want to see that one Alt. Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:58, 13 May 2023 (UTC) And here are a couple more ALTs!

  • ALT1: That the hall for the 1975 premiere of the Four Verses of Captain Lebyadkin by Dmitri Shostakovich was barely half filled? ("Потому и возникло некоторое охлаждение, спад интереса к Шостаковичу. Я никогда не забуду своего присутствия на последнем концерте, где он был «живьем», — весной 1975 года, премьера «Стихотворений капитана Лебядкина». Зал был неполным. Шостакович, первое исполнение, и неполный Малый зал консерватории! Было какое-то общее впечатление усталости от Шостаковича. Он как бы холодно-объектив интересовать. Но горячего интереса в то время не было. Было у меня, например, ощущение, что все это — усталое, написанное человеком, который весь — в прошлом, весь относится к другому времени. И мне казалось, что то же ощущали и многие другие. Немногим более половины Малого зала на премьере сочинения — это ужасно! Я помню, после того, как Евгений Нестеренко спел, Шостакович встал, но не поднялся на сцену, а снизу из зала кланялся — а потом повернулся и пошел к выходу. И хотя программа еще не закончилась, ушел с концерта. За ним шла Ирина Антоновна, оглядываясь и виновато улыбаясь. Это было довольно странное впечатление." (in Беседы с Альфредом Шнитке by Alexander Ivashkin, pp. 74–75))
  • ALT2 ... that the 1975 premiere of the Four Verses of Captain Lebyadkin by Dmitri Shostakovich was described as a "pretty weird experience" by Alfred Schnittke? (Ibid.)
guess you can say it's fine now. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:01, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
