Cyrillic - is there an accent on the е ?
[edit]RSL (Russian state library) (sigla.rsl.ru) recognizes Аренский (without the accent over the е) but returns maybe one result (I think) with an accent. Websites in Russian vary on whether there should be an accent there. ... Erm. ??? Schissel | Sound the Note! 14:48, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- This is often a source of confusion. Russian Cyrillic script uses no diacritics except on Й (a different letter from И) and with the possible exception of the diaeresis on Ё. Purists would say there is only E, and you just have to know when to pronounce it ye (E) and when yo (Ё). But Ё is increasingly seen as a separate letter.
- However, Russian word stress is a vast and complex area with many pitfalls, even sometimes for native speakers. For that reason, some educational texts use accent marks to show where the stress applies in each word. If one were to apply an accent to Аренский, it would be on the e (Арéнский). But as I say, that is not part of its formal spelling. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 20:17, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Ah ok. That explains why just manually cutting-and-pasting the Cyrillic version in the main text of this article didn't work well, then- I really have to learn more about Russian (not a bad idea anyway, as I know!) Thank you. Schissel | Sound the Note! 02:49, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
- You're welcome, or as they say in Russian, Не за что. Yes, learning any new language is a great idea. Although I don't use it much actively any more (mainly because there is no Russian community where I live), I have learned so much about Russia, Russians, their culture and their vast history that I would not otherwise have known. I can thoroughly recommend it. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 10:04, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Arenski's gambling and alcohol abuse
[edit]I've added a source here (Rimsky-Korsakov's memoirs) since that seems to be the only source about this side of Arensky's life - very little is known about his private life. It's something that gets perpetuated endlessly and Rimsky as an only source is slightly suspect since he appears to have had some gripes about Arensky. Does anyone have any other and perhaps less contaminated sources? --Ilja.nieuwland (talk) 18:24, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
