I’m probably the only one lol
But seriously, I also love the classical music from the Soviet Union (and I don’t mean just household names like Shostakovich).

Anyone here know about Reinhold Glière? I particularly like his melodicism in his symphonies and other pieces lol.
Damn, I wish I knew all these music theory terms lol
No worries, I gotcha.
“Piece”: literally any work of art.
“Symphony”: a large piece of music usually written for a full orchestra with all kinds of instruments. They’re also usually 30 - 90 minutes long.
“Melodicism”: the use of discernible melodies in music (Tchaikovsky is particularly good at this).
And here are Glière’s symphonies if you want to check them out. I personally consider them hidden gems since I’ve never heard of anyone talk about them, but they still managed to captivate me lol.
