Perhaps, but if he had not endure said 'difficult life story' would his music have been as interesting?
Had he fled to The West with others of his generation, would he be a footnote mentioned offhandedly when Russian Composers of the time are discussed, if mentioned at all? And what would he have written, had he left Russia when any sensible creative artist would have?
Who knows? Not me.
I see Dmitri Dmitriyevich and his music as a product of his time and of his life. That those circumstances were, to some degree, self imposed makes it all the more fascinating.
And who doesn't find his 4th Symphony interesting?
WHO?
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
