| Comments: | This rendition of the 1812 Overture (or The Year 1812) is somewhat different to the more familiar, conventional version. Having made some inquiries, I am informed by the publishers of the score - Dover Publications Inc. - that it is a reprint of an edition from the Moscow State Publishing House. The difference arises from the fact that the Soviets replaced the original Czarist theme, representing the Russian Army, with a more politically acceptable post-Revolutionary theme. An early example of 'Political Correctness'? |
