Vladimir Samoylovich Horowitz[n 1] (October 1 [O.S. September 18] 1903 – November 5, 1989) was an American pianist of Ukrainian birth[1]





The most numerous number of research papers on the composer comes from Ukraine, with scholars addressing his music, its performance practices, its belonging to Ukrainian heritage as well as the fact that “Europeans largely did not yet distinguish Ukrainian musical culture separately.” [2][3][4][5] [6][7][8]


Reflects a worldwide practice of musicians, music publishers, presenters, and news organizations to present the subject to the public as such. [9][10] [11][12] [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]



Options 1 and 2 ignore scholars and musicians who do describe Bortkiewicz as a Ukrainian composer, which are far more numerous. Besides Western scholars presented above for the option 3 and 4 there are Ukrainian scholars who refer to the composer as Ukrainian, [21][22][23][24]belonging to Ukrainian heritage[25][26] [27][28]as well as the fact that “Europeans largely did not yet distinguish Ukrainian musical culture separately.” [29] Why should all of these evidence be ignored in favor of option 1,2?


  • Sergei Bortkiewicz (28 February 1877 [O.S. 16 February] – 25 October 1952) was a Ukrainian Romantic composer and pianist.

Pros

  • Reflects a shift in the Western world to recognize Ukrainian people as a separate nation from Russia and refer to people from Ukraine as such.[30] [31][32][33][34][35][36]
  • As Bortkiewicz comes from a Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, which predates the Russian Empire and has remained one of the strongest centers of Ukrainian Culture throughout the centuries[37], he is considered “one of the most prominent representatives of the Ukrainian musical culture” by Ukrainian scholars.[38] 
  • The most comprehensive and wide range of research on the composer comes from Ukraine, with scholars addressing his music, its performance practices[39][40]and its belonging to Ukrainian heritage[41][42] [43][44]as well as the fact that “Europeans largely did not yet distinguish Ukrainian musical culture separately.” [45]
  • The only extended biography of the composer available as a book “Sergei Bortkiewicz. A score of Life”[46]is written by Mykola Sukach, conductor of Chernikhiv Philharmonic Orchestra, who has performed all printed scores of Bortkiewicz. The book draws from the composer’s letters and describes Bortkiewicz’s life in great detail. The book draws from the composer’s letters and describes Bortkiewicz’s life in great detail. It introduces the composer to the reader as “the undeservedly forgotten Ukrainian composer” and “ outstanding Ukrainian composer of the first half of the 20th century”
  • Reflects a worldwide practice of musicians, music publishers[47][48]

[49][50]presenters, and news organizations[51][52][53][54][55][56]to present the subject to the public as such.

Cons

  • Potentially confusing to the reader as older sources refer to the subject as Russian
  • As separation of Ukrainian nation from Russia remains incomplete in certain spheres of western political and cultural discourse, some readers may interpret referring to Bortkiewicz as Ukrainian as simplifying the issue.

Comment - Characterizes him as born in Ukraine rather than as Ukrainian.

Option 4:

edit
  • Sergei Bortkiewicz (28 February 1877 [O.S. 16 February] – 25 October 1952) was a Ukrainian-born Romantic composer and pianist.

Pros

  • While various sources give more weight to particular national influences and associations of the composer, most agree that the place of origin of the subject is Ukraine.
  • Acknowledges composer’s place of origin using its modern name.
  • Takes into consideration sources that view Ukraine as part of Imperial Russia while still specifying subject’s place of origin

Cons

  • doesn’t acknowledge the subject as belonging to Ukrainian cultural heritage
  • leaves room for further disputes

Comment - Characterizes him as Ukrainian, not merely born in Ukraine.

  • The most comprehensive and wide range of research on the composer comes from Ukraine, with scholars addressing his music, its performance practices[65][66]and its belonging to Ukrainian heritage[67][68] [69][70]as well as the fact that “Europeans largely did not yet distinguish Ukrainian musical culture separately.” [71]Bortkiewicz's connection with his home remained strong as he continued to come back to it until he had to flee in 1919 in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. 
  • The only extended biography of the composer available as a book “Sergei Bortkiewicz. A score of Life”[72]is written by Mykola Sukach, conductor of Chernikhiv Philharmonic Orchestra, who has performed all printed scores of Bortkiewicz.
