Before Russia invaded Ukraine, I was working on some Russian music from the mid 1900s. Since Russia has invaded and has been boycotted from the world for the most part, I had stopped learning and playing the music and have been focusing on more European and polkas. Am wondering if there will be a place to relearn or continue the Russian music in my lifetime.
I anticipate people will respond 'just to play what you want to play'. I get that, however, still get a visceral reaction to the music, and am also wondering what others are doing in the accordion community. Am specifically referring to performing Russian music publicly. Hopefully one day there will be peace in the world again and Russia will back off from it's advances. Any thoughts on playing Russian music?
