[edit] Date of death nailed down

This Google search brings up “Biographies of known Russian musicians Zak, Zhitomirsky, Zhivotov ...”, although the link [1] doesn’t work. What the search reveals, though, is that Zverev died on “12 Oct. 1893”. Checking in Poznansky’s Tchaikovsky: The Quest for the Inner Man (which uses OS dates throughout), I see that (pp. 571, 572) Zverev died shortly before Tchaikovsky finished scoring the Third Piano Concerto on 3 October (= 15 October NS), and that he attended Zverev’s Requiem Mass on 8 October (= 20 October NS). What I glean, therefore, is that "12 October 1893" is quite consistent with these other references, as a New Style date (= 30 September OS). I’m adding it to the article on that basis. -- JackofOz (talk) 00:01, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
