Sound Tracks
[…] This reminds me that just last week, I was looking for some music to go with a spirited game of tug-of-war between my dog and a niece's dog last week. In this case, I intentionally sped up the video for comic effect. I'd wanted to post it for family members but thought it awkward to include the unrelated conversation going on in the background, so I brought in some great fight music from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet and shortened the fight itself so that it ended along with a good stopping point.

It’s even more confusing because at the end of the 19th century, Russia was still using the “old style” Julian calendar, according to which Prokofiev was born on April 11th (or April 15th). Even the English spelling of his first name differs in different sources: with an “i” at the end in Wiki, but a “y” in Grove and Britannica. None of which matters much; what is important is his undeniable talent as a composer and pianist. Prokofiev left Russia after the Revolution of 1917 […]
