<DIV><FONT size=4>I suspect that Prof. Wright has checked the available
resources (bios etc). Otherwise he would not have asked this mailing list for
help and advice. No offence ment, mate. Also, Prof. Wright has read the same
bios as you and me, therefore his question in assistance is quite a fair
one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>hmm Kitty is short for Katja or Katarina (Jekatarina ?
Jekaterina ?) and her last name is spelled in a peculiar americanized phonetic
way (like. i.e. Ghorbachev). No wonder Dr. Google will not help here. Talk about
semantics !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I reckon what Prof. Wright has in mind is that maybe there is
a chance some f_minor reader is in St. Petersburg or Moscow and can check if
they ever had a student or prof with this name who could also check published
articles and other publications.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Since GG’s visit to Soviet Russia was a sort of
mini-Beatlemania I would not be surprised if the people who met and saw him left
written accounts within the USSR that have never been seen in the
west.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Addendum: There was also an article in the GG Magazine some
years back about his historic visit. Should be around here somewhere.

<DIV>Dear F-minor List,<BR> <BR>Might anyone on the list know the name
Kitty Gvozdeva? In 1958, the year after his tour of the Soviet Union, GG
rec'd a copy of the Scriabin Sonatas bearing an inscription "from Kitty
Gvozdeva." When he recorded the 3rd and 5th Sonatas in the late-60s, he
used this score, and wrote extensive comments, performance indications and
other glossings into it.<BR> <BR>I still need to dig through the
correspondence held in the GG Fonds at Library and Archives Canada, in the
hope that a letter from (or to) Kitty Gvozdeva is there. B ut I wondered
if anyone on the list might recognize this name.<BR> <BR>Many thanks, in
advance, for any help any or you might be able to
provide!<BR> <BR>J.<BR><BR>James K. Wright, Ph.D. <BR>
