What's your favorite French red wine?

What was the role of nationalistic classical music as an influence over the population? And how were you exposed to it? I'm sure lots of Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Scriabin, Khachaturian, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, etc were broadcast but Shostakovich composed many of his wonderful (and often heart-wrenching) symphonies under the close watch of Stalin. Some of them are very nationalistic, as he was instructed to make them.

Terry Riley's piece In C would work well for this. So much fun to play!

What's your favorite beer of all time?
