I've never heard of myself.

Heh. Am amused at the name convergence, but sigh. I'm so uneducated.

If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Aleksandr Borodin. Son of a 19th Century Russian prince and a...non-royal...mother, I went to medical school and became a biochemist. Most people, however, (and probably my twenty cats as well) agree that they'd trade all of my scientific discoveries for another set of "Polovetsian Dances." Who would you be?

But hee. At least I get to be a bastard son.

Borodin was probably best known for the opera Prince Igor. "Polovtsian Dances" takes place in the second act of the opera (I guess it's the second act, it's after the intermission anyway) after the king of Russia and his son have been captured by a bunch of barbarians, the Polovtsians, who they were trying to drive away from the city. Very energetic and fun.

I came up as Rimsky-Korsakov, which makes sense, given how much of a temperamental motherfucker I can be.
