Just as a bonus, an interesting quote from him:


Russians call me German, Germans call me Russian, Jews call me a Christian, Christians a Jew. Pianists call me a composer, composers call me a pianist. The classicists think me a futurist, and the futurists call me a reactionary. My conclusion is that I am neither fish nor fowl – a pitiful individual.

Borreby and Keltic-Nordic to me.

He looked quite a bit like Beethoven didn't he?

A very cool looking guy!

Borreby + Diluted Dinarid or Armenoid.

I second that.

That's why he looks so cool! I was thinking the same thing, actually. :)

[Smeagol]

Dinaro-CM.

Nothing Jewish or Middle Eastern about him. Fits everywhere in Central Europe.

Dinaro-Alpine
