[edit] External Link

Should this link be added as an external link on the main Balakirev sheet music page?

* Balakirev Sheet Music   

Founder of the Migh ty five...Cui, Mussorgsky, Borodin, Rimsky-Korvsakov Not tremendously famous nor talented...but wrote his share of orginal music and had an identfiable style and achievments

I think he was quite talented, but wonder why he's listed as born in 1837 and in the category Category:1836 births. Typo, or intersection between the Julian and Gregorian systems? (And one needs an article on Mitrofan Belyayev... maybe with a different spelling there is one, or maybe I should just write the thing) Schissel-nonLop! 19:39, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1836 births or 1837 births?

He was born in 1836 (os) and 1837 (Gregorian) I believe- which means [[Category:1836 births]] or [[Category:1837 births]] or both or neither. Similar problem with 1903/4 death year of Mitrofan Belyayev Borodin's/Glazunov's/(Balakirev's also?) publisher. Is there even so much as a guideline whether to place someone in the Julian or Gregorian year category when this comes up? I placed Belyayev in 1904 deaths (as he is on de:, btw), Balakirev is however in 1836 births. Discuss? (Ah, I see I brought this up before just above, and didn't even read my own writing- but at least now have an answer to my question...) Schissel | Sound the Note! 18:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation of the name

Can someone who knows the proper Russian pronunciation of "Balakirev" please indicate where the tonic stress accent should fall? Dveej (talk) 16:11, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
