Anyone knows what her religious affiliation is? Just curious to know.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.111.66.214 (talk) 07:06, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I recently read an interview that stated that Gubaidulina's father was Russian-speaking by choice from before Sofia Asgatovna was born. So, there's no real reason for the Tatar name here, because her parents did not actually use it. I will remove it if there are no objections. Crculver 02:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  There are objections. As she was borned in Tatar ASSR she has a passport where her Tatar name was written in Tatar, the second state language. Even through ethnically Russians living/lived in Tatarstan has a Tatar spelling of their names, differ than in Russian, it should be given. If even she doesn't used her name's Tatar variant anywhere, there are a lot of publications in Tatar about she, and there her name is written in Tatar :) So, I think, the presence of her Tatar name have less objections than its absence. --Üñţïf̣ļëŗ (see also:ә?

message: I wonder whether this article is 'too neutral.'  Subject is one of the most performed and most awarded living composers in the world; I think the article could use a qualitative statement to that effect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.251.127 (talk) 05:54, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem with a "qualitative statement" like that is that someone is likely to challenge its truth, not to mention the vagueness. Does "one of" mean "in the top five", "in the top fifty", or "in the top five hundred"? If the last, is this really a very significant accomplishment? How do you measure "awardedness" when it comes to composers? If we were talking about a military officer, we could count up the medals, but composers' awards range from the monumental (Grawemeyer Award, Pulitzer Prize, Polar Prize, etc.) to the nearly trivial. As to performances, that could be difficult to verify as well. Even assuming access to her publisher's database, it would be necessary to compile data on a reasonable number of other living composers to see how she compares. The simple solution to this problem would be to find a published, reliable source that says "Sofia Gubaidulina is one of the most performed and most awarded living composers in the world". Then there is no controversy: it is an opinion that can be attributed to a responsible authority.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 18:24, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
