Missing items

Yes, I've now added it, along with a few other missing items. --Deskford (talk) 09:32, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

"Vetrennaya Girl"?

Does anyone know what this piece, listed in the "Piano" section, is? I don't find any reference to it online ... and the Russian word in the title is suprising.

Google only finds Vetrenaya Zhenshchina (Ветреная женщина), a Russian soap opera. "Vetrenaya" with one 'n', not two

The translation is "Windy Woman" ... and "Windy Girl" in French would be "Fille ventreuse" ... which also does not show up when googling.

Is it possible that some Russian source had a (mis)translation of "A Giddy Girl", from Histoires for piano?

My trusty Oxford Russian-English Dictionary (1972 ed.) to the rescue. The primary meaning of ветреный, -ая (adj.) is "windy". But a secondary, figurative meaning is "empty-headed, unstable". Empty-headed = giddy. So, "Giddy Girl" it must be. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 07:27, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

I've removed the offending entry. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 20:42, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
