Thread: Ivan and Lizaveta. Please look over the translation.

Часто музыка была предметом разговора, когда Фёдор встречал органист его церкови, Святой Троитзы. Фёдор подвергал сомнению огромной славу Баха.
-Великий композитор должен сможет писать хорошо для людского голоса-говорил он. ЭтоБах ясно не смог.-
-Это значит ничего.-оранист отвечал, -больая часть людской речи - лоны, Или люди лгут, или не знают, о чём говорят.-
-Ты прав, друг мой, но Бах был музыкантом не филосовом, и повторяю, композитор - не знаток его ремесла, если он не сможет писать для наиболее натурального инструмеита.-
Фёдор никогда не согашал его органист об этом.

Music was often the topic of conversation when Fyodor met the organist of his church, Holy Trinity. Fyodor used to cast doubt on the great fame of Bach. "A great composer must be able to write well for the human voice,'' he said. "Clearly Bach cd. not do this."
"This means nothing', the organist replied. Most of human speech is false. Either people are lying or they don't know what they are talking about.
You are right my friend, but Bach was a composer not a philosopher, and I repeat, a composer is not a master of his craft if he cannot write for the most natural instrument.

Церковь была католическая?

Bach was a protestant, and his music was performed in Russia at the time of the story, even if not in church.

Но если органист был из церкви?..

Your Russian seems to be quite good. Instead of asking me all of these questions, you cd. simply provide a translation, and if it is the case that the organ is not played in orthodox churches, the word organist can be changed to "a friend who was a music teacher, or a musician, etc." Use your head. All of us here think that we are intelligent.
