You will find it here.  Rick asked me to give him my account of Russian classical music, “standing on one foot” as you might say.  With musical clips as well, played on Rick’s sound system.  So we started with Rimsky and Mussorgsky, and the European and folk/peasant music traditions as contrasting influences in Russian music.  There is then plenty of Tchaikovsky, Scriabin, and Stravinsky followinig, with perhaps Stravinsky as the organizing figure of the presentation.

It is never easy to do such things off the top of one’s head.  Nonetheless recommended.
