Sofia Moshevich Notability[edit]

Hi I was wondering if I could get some help for the notability of Sofia Moshevich. She is a Dr of musicology, and her Doctorate and Two Subsquent books were about Dmitri Shostokovich. This is a narrow field, but amongst Shostokovich enthusiasts she is well known as you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtAw2oWKjGs and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auChkyNoJv0 where her works are cited to give insight into Shostokovich's pieces.

Amongst her peers her works are often cited and she is well known to the DSCH Journal http://dschjournal.com/?s=Moshevich, and there new publications are compared with hers: http://dschjournal.com/book-reviews-30 and

She is part of the academic discourse on Shostakovich https://scholar.google.co.il/scholar?q=moshevich&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&sciodt=0%2C5&cites=14906087994610552349&scipsc=

Her first book was cited 22 times https://scholar.google.co.il/scholar?cites=8476737524789111057&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=en Her phd cited once https://scholar.google.co.il/scholar?cites=16220841774748377522&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=en

Furthermore in Toronto she has been known to give opinions on classical music as it pertains to the soviet union, especially Glen Gould http://www.robertfulford.com/gould.html

Lastly, well known Toronto prodigy was a student of hers for many years http://www.rickerchoi.com/#!anson-hui-biography/c1vlq http://www.cbc.ca/radio/docproject/a-boy-and-his-piano-1.3248273

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/03/02/piano_virtuoso_anson_hui_raises_money_for_his_rare_disease.html http://printarchive.epochtimes.com/a1/en/us/nyc/2010/10_Oct/14/B2_eet-20101014-ny-us.pdf

I understand that she might not be the most notable graduate of Gnessin, but she is well known and respected in her field and a published author.

I've expanded the article quite a bit but we really need to find out when she emigrated to Canada. Did she also spend a period in Montreal? Maybe there's something on her sons Avital and Jonathan.--Ipigott (talk) 14:42, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jmoshev (talk) 21:01, 28 January 2016 (UTC) Thank you so so much! Since moving to Canada has lived in Toronto. I will check if she performed/lectured in Montreal.(The only montreal conneciton is that her first book was published by McGill Press which is based in montreal). Her daughter is a speech pathologist based in Toronto http://www.thespeakboutique.com/. Her son lives in Israel and is a web developer https://www.drupal.org/u/iamjon https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-moshevich-b022709 Her husband Arik owns a beauty supply comany http://www.nataliproducts.com/[reply]
