Julie Weissberg was a Russian composer who lived in the time of the Russian Revolution, an event which shook Russia to its core. And Weissberg, naturally, experienced the effects of the Revolution first-hand. The Revolution caused Russia to be filled with starving people, both peasants and soldiers alike, and caused the people of Russia to be in desperate need to aid. And in this time of vulnerability, one man and his beliefs would swoop in and change Russia for a long time to come. Today, The Piano Histories Podcast will share the history of Julie Weissberg, as well as part of the history of the Russia Revolution.
