/ "In June 1876, following incidents in which Turkish soldiers killed a large number of Christian Slavs who rebelled against Ottoman Empire and supported by countries like Austria and Russia, Serbia declared war on Turkey. Many Russians sympathized with those they considered to be their fellow Slavs and sent volunteer soldiers and aid to assist the Kingdom of Serbia. In the ensuing struggle the Serbian army was quickly defeated by the Turks. Nikolai Rubinstein, a close friend of Tchaikovsky, asked him to compose a piece for a concert benefiting the wounded Russian volunteers. In a burst of patriotism, Tchaikovsky composed and orchestrated what was first known as the "Serbo-Russian March" (later to be known as "Marche slave") in only five days. The piece was premiered in Moscow on November 17, 1876 to a warm reception." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laurence Krupnak" <LKrupnak@verizon.net> To: <german-bohemian@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 6:41 PM Subject: Re: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] German-Bohemian boundaries > > / > > > Pyotr (Peter) Chajkovsky's Slavonic March > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxlytWahi7M&feature=related > > > > ________ > > Lavrentiy > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Laurence Krupnak" <LKrupnak@verizon.net> > To: <german-bohemian@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 5:58 PM > Subject: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] German-Bohemian boundaries > > >> You wrote: >> >> >> >> I infer that "Slavisch/Slavish" must have been an erroneous >> Anglicization of the word, "Slovak" or "Slovenska," >> >> >> Slavisch means Slavonic/Slavic, like: >> >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHvG2g9LBVU >> >> >> >> http://www.vocabulary.com/definition/nl/Slavisch >> >> http://analogical-dictionary.sensagent.com/mw2346880/ML-en-nl/ >> >> >> >> I wouldn't say that it means Slovak, or Czech or any other specific >> Slavic language. >> >> ____ >> >> Lavrentiy >> >> German-Bohemian Heritage Society web site >> http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/ >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to >> GERMAN-BOHEMIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' >> without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > German-Bohemian Heritage Society web site > http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > GERMAN-BOHEMIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
