If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Considered the leader of the 19th Century Composer group "The Mighty Handful," I am indeed the teacher among them. My orchestration skills are superbly colorful, and are explained in my book on the topic, but works like "Scheherezade" explain my mastery better. Who would you be?

If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Sergei Prokofyev. I was born in the late 19th century and was a child prodigy, composing at a very young age. I kept this talent up, earning myself quite a name and fully exploiting the bragging rights. I was disliked by Stalin, however, and I died the same day he did. My most famous work is "Peter and the Wolf." Who would you be? Dead Russian Composer Personality Test

I have to say, I like Prokofiev better.

It tells me I'm Shostakovich, which is not surprising as he's supposed to be the classic INTP composer.

I hate quizes that don't let you see all the answers. I was able to guess that Rachmaninov was there based on "The fact that only a select few can tackle the difficulties of your work, and many unworthy people have been carted off to the funny farm trying.", but I'm wondering if Kachetorian made it.

Well, I took it again, deliberately changing a number of my answers to other ones that I'd considered -- and I got Rimsky-Korsakov again. Well, I do like Scheherezade. Did I write Flight of the Bumblebee? (And if I have to ask, does that mean I really ought to be Mussorgsky -- who you get if you keep answering "vodka"?)

Yep, you wrote "Flight of the Bumblebee".
