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>
