Another thing I picked up on in day 1.
One thing some of you may not know about me - I studied performance music at university. I've lived in the world of classical music for most of my life. I know a lot of composers by sight.
None of them are Modest Mussorgsky... so how the heck did Epi know that??????? And also, why would Epi call his music that of a somnambulist? Some of his music is fantastic. Anyway, you might note Mussorgsky is one of the pictures that one of the mafia has put on their silencer role. If ever there was a piece of WIFOM, this is it. Epi's next line 'why would I draw attention to the fact I know the identity of one of the mafia pictures if I am mafia'???
Anyway, I found that curious indeed.
I'm not a student of classical music. I do like it and I listen to it from time to time, and Russian composers whose names end in "sky" tend to be among my favorites of all time. Favorites are Firebird, Nutcracker, and Pictures. That said:
1) Our high school marching band did
Pictures at an Exhibition for many of our football games (and some assemblies). They even made T-Shirts.
2)I like me some Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.
3) That's a very famous painting of Modest Mussorgsky, even capturing his ruddy, drunken nose.
I don't believe I used "somnambulism" in my post regarding Mussorgsky. The word I used was "dipsomaniac," in reference to the composer's drinking, not his music.
Addendum: No, Sophie.
Also, Mussorgsky = "some obscure composer."
