Comment | I Kenchoshvili: “If classical poetry, like the French and Russian Rococo poetry of the end of the XVIII and the whole of XIX centuries, was mostly prone on serious Gods (Zeus, Neptune, Mars etc.) […] Alexandre Chavchavadze is keener on playful and erotic Cupids” (Alexander Chavchavadze, works symphony – with glossary; the text for publication, the ‘symphony-glossary’ and the preface have been prepared by Avtandil Arabuli, Teimuraz Gvantseladze and Amiran Lomtatidze, Tbilisi, 1996) |
