	Liner Notes for "Black Snow" CD: music for viola of Glinka, Shostakovich, and Jakov Jakoulov
		Glinka (1804-57), Shostakovich (1906-75) and Jakoulov (born 1958) are united by something else, too: their love for the viola.
		Glinka believed the Viola Sonata to be the most successful of his pre-Italian compositions, and remarked that it had "some quite clever counterpoint." Charming and accessible, with a certain touch of Russian melancholy, it has won a permanent place in the viola repertoire, and is especially effective as the first piece on a recital program.
		Because Glinka was very strongly influenced by Western composers, Jakoulov provides stylized, often humorous, imitations of these influences: "Jazzy," "Debussy" (representative of the loss of orientation in Russian culture of the fin de siecle), "Samba," "Beethoven" (again!).

		It was Glinka's groundbreaking largescale opera Ivan Susanin, rechristened A Life for the Tsar for its première in late 1836, that singlehandedly persuaded a reluctant Russian capital to take Russian opera seriously.
		Glinka opened the doors onto a new sensibility : in a very real sense, he was Russian music's future.
		Ivan Susanin, embracing a highly patriotic theme, is not without sentimentality; and Glinka unashamedly embraced the Romanov revival, securing a royal pat on the back (as well as a change in the title).

		Glinka found his true voice as a composer only after he began using Russian folk music as his inspiration.
		Most of this piano music was written before Glinka's great discovery, and despite Victor Ryabchikov's fervent program notes in support of the music, it isn't very significant.
		If you're interested enough in the composer to want to hear these mostly early works, though, Ryabchikov is an outstanding advocate, playing with obvious commitment, a wide range of tonal color, and the kind of expression you'd want to hear in Chopin's music.
