Birthdate

[edit ]

There is a website which lists his birthdate (as opposed to just the year), but I can only find the one. Is this a matter of privacy, or is there printed material that confirms/disconfirms... etc? Schissel | Sound the Note! 20:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Ethnicity

[edit ]

I wonder if it is proper to call Kapustin a Ukrainian composer. He was born in Ukraine, but neither of his parents was ethnically Ukrainian, and he left Ukraine for good at age 14. It is about as accurate to list him Ukrainian as to list Sergey Brin Russian. It would be better to change the designation to "Ukrainian Russian" or "Russian Ukrainian". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.70.180.45 (talk) 02:35, 18 July 2010 (UTC) [reply ]

He is not 'Ukrainian' at all. He was only born there. It makes as much sense as calling an American who was simply born in Japan because his parents were stationed there at the time, 'Japanese' or 'Japanese American'. Kapustin is Russian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.97.125.10 (talk) 12:44, 24 January 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

We cannot rely upon mere speculations. He is listed as Ukrainian in the known sources.Tennisedu (talk) 02:38, 28 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
In the book Conversations with Nikolai Kapustin, he says that he considers himself Russian, not Ukrainian. 208.191.204.25 (talk) 21:04, 3 February 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Cpyright

[edit ]

It would seem that the copyright section as a whole has no special point here (other than warning participants not to download etc etc). This entry is hardly the proper place for such remarks. I propose to delete it as a whole.Super48paul (talk) 15:07, 22 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

You're right. I'd have deleted even without seeing your comment, it's completely irrelevant to the article. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 17:10, 22 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Nikolai *Girshevich*?

[edit ]

Where does that "Girshevich" come from, I've seen in other places, but his bio, Conversations with Kapustin says it's "Grigorievich" several times.

Russian WP has this: Родился 22 ноября 1937 года в Горловке, в семье Гирша (Григория) Ефимовича и Клавдии Николаевны Капустиных.
The usual diminutive for Григорий (Grigory) is Гриша (Grisha), not Гирш (Girsh), but even so, patronymics are not formed from diminutives but from the standard given name of the father.
I'm assuming the father's name was indeed Гирш, which seems to be a very obscure name - perhaps a Jewish name, Hirsch - and for that reason it was easier in some circumstances to treat it as a form of Григорий and form the patronymic accordingly. But we'd need a source confirming all this. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 01:07, 4 October 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

spouse?

[edit ]

Anyone have any information on the mother of his son(s)? 50.111.2.49 (talk) 13:32, 4 January 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

None that I can find. It isn't that important anyway. Nikolaih ☎️ 📖 18:08, 29 July 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
