Reality: Composers

This is a non-exhaustive and in-progress list of tumblr users who composed musical works inspired by the Goncharov meme. This page categorizes composers by the kayfabe-on origin of their work, then lists composers alphabetically within that category.

## Goncharov Soundtrack(1973)

### 3Liza

#### To Deum (Cathedral Scene)

Uploaded to the Youtube channel Gaythoven on 22 Nov 2022 and credited to tumblr user 3liza, *Te Deum* is a 59 long second music file of a latin choir. Paratext in the video's comment section suggest that this music scores a speech given by the ficticious charater Andrey. Yah Kimicki writes, kayfabe on:

> "Fun fact: in the theatrical cut of the film, Andrey's speech during this scene was actually a full minute shorter. The Director's Cut that now dominates all the streaming services contains Andrey's full speech, just as it appeared in the script."

### Andrey-shot-first

#### Smoke and mirrors

Smoke and mirrors is a 1:43 long piece. [placeholder description of the music].

### Andrey-Transgenderism

#### Sofia's Theme

Posted on 21 Nov 2022, by tumblr user Andrey-transgenderism. Andrey-transgenderism says kayfabe off in their tags, "why the fuck did I do this I have literally never composed before sjchkwkvks." Sjchkwkvks is a *keysmash* which on tumblr is used to indicate unironically flustered emotions, and sells the fact that this is andrey-transgenderism's first ever compositon.

Good for them.

Sofia's theme is composed for piano, and played here on piano with some percussive accompaniment.

### Angrycatlovesfandoms

#### This is it

Posted 22 Nov 2022, tumblr user angrycatfandoms posted their kayfabe on "take on *This is it* from the soundtrack on Goncharov (1973)." The piece is 2:53 seconds long and performed on piano.

### Arcanistvysoren

#### Track 6 - Katya's Sonata

Posted Nov 21 2022 by tumblr user Arcanistvysoren, Katya's Sonata is a 3:50 long piece composed for and performed on piano. It's title implies it is track on an nonexistant gonchorav soundtrack. In their tags, Arcanistvysoren writes, kayfabe off, "#finally figured out how i can participate in this mass hallucination."

### Avatar-of-the-vast

#### Stolen Time (Katya's Theme)

Posted 21 Nov 2022 by Tumblr user Avatar-of-the-vast, Stolen time is composed for and played on piano and violin. Avatar-of-the-vast includes a kayfabe on analysis of its composition in the post, focusing on two motifs reportedly interact with the character Katya(sic) and foreshadow her role in the plot of *Goncharov* (1973).

> "The first one is where I believe the score is giving away that Katya didn't actually die. She knew what she was doing and it's a powerful sound that is often played when she's winning in some form. (not always those specific notes, but that kind of ascending figure)"
> "The second is more interesting, especially since in the piece it's almost always following the success motif. It's questioning(?). It's unsure. I like it. She did have a strong plan and it did work but she also did lose a lot along the way and I love it so much."

Below the readmore, which is difficult to archive, it breaks kayfabe to briefly explain it's inspiration to make the work and the process.

> "Gonna be real, I really liked @caramiaaddio's main theme that she wrote and I really wanted to work on counterpoint writing and so I just went for it lol"
>
>
> "This was really fun to make and I think the part does sound really nice on its own"
>
>
>
> "The piano part is a copy of Alix's theme as she posted it, but the violin was mine"
>

### Caramiaaddio

#### Goncharov Main Theme

circa November 2022, Tumblr User Caramiaaddio (?) posted what seems to be the first audio work inspired by the Goncharov meme. The piece titled *Main Theme from Goncharov* was posted with Caramiaaddio kayfabe-ing:

> "all this talk about goncharov but i dont see anybody posting the soundtrack??? like how are you gonna talk about this movie without the music."
>
>

She later reblogged the post, kayfabe-ambiguous (but likely off):

> "okay well people have asked so uh. I put it on spotify? dunno when itll show up but its there and also heres the sheet music???"
>
>
>

Including the sheet music.

> *Main Theme From Goncharov* is composed to be played on a single piano. It's been used as a source of inspiration for other participating in composing goncharov inspired music.

### Colours-of-the-galaxies

#### Lovers Forlon

Posted to youtube on 22 Nov 2022 to the channel Luiza Lucuța Official, and credited to tumblr user Colours-of-the-galaxies, Lovers Forlon is 2:29 seconds long, composed for and performed on piano.

The kayfabe on vidio decsription explains the post as bing the score that playes when Katya and Sofia say a final good bye, but because the scene was deleted because of studio executive pushing against the queerness of the characters, the song is a rarity even by to the standards of Goncharov (1973) being a recently recovered piece of lost media.

### Dead-minecraft-fandoms

#### Overture on the Clocktower

Uploaded to the youtube channel Aurumaura on 21 Nov 2022, attributed to tumblr user Dead-minecraft-fandoms, Overture on the clocktower is 1:21 long. The work uses a clock as a part of its musical composition.

### Dungeonmastersconsortium

#### The Clocktower

Posted 21 Nov 2022 by tumblr user Dungeonmastersconsortium (Dungeon Master's Consortium), The Clocktower is 1:30 seconds long, opening with horns and procussion before shifting to strings.

### Elluminis

#### Katya and Sofia

Uploaded 22 Nov 2022 by tumblr user Elluminis, Katya and Sofia is a instrumental "duet between katya and sofia's themes." The piece credits unscarf-an-denraendern as well as caramiaaddio. It is performed on flute and clarinet.

### Eternenty

#### Main Theme

Posted 20 Nov 2022 by tumblr user Eternenty, I have no idea how to describe *Goncharov - Main Theme,* either it's a reference to an older meme I don't understand, or a complete nonsequitor to what Eternenty is describing the sound drack as.

> "okay but fr, the Goncharov soundtrack is cracked?? like there’s such a weird cultural mix of sounds and genres and it all comes together, like, really good?? like it has a ridiculous amount of cold/darkwave influence, but also has this italian flair thrown in all over the place. it really *really* pairs well with the suspense and action throughout the movie. like the theme motif throughout the movie?? listen to this?????"

This is then as best as I can describe it 'woodwind synth'. The playbar's image is a gif of a dancing cat.

### FancyDunamancy

Katya's Theme

Posted 21 Nov 2022 by tumblr user Fancydunamancy, katya's theme is composed for and performed by piano and string instruments.

### If-only-angels-could-prevail

Main Theme (End Credits)

Tumblr user if-only-angels-could-prevail posted a orchestral track recomposition of caramiaaddio (who they credit and shout out for having composed the main theme), claiming kayfabe-on that it plays over the film's ending credits,

Another tumblr user, racconfink also uploaded a piece with a kayfabe matching explanation. This dissonance tends to be resolved by ignoring it and giving raccoonfink's piece a different title and kayfabe-on purpose, but could more easily be resolved by just saying that the credits are long enough to need two pieces of music to score them.

### Mapplejuice

#### Goncharov's Theme in Minor

Rick Astley's *Never Gonna Give You Up*(not a rickroll) is a 1987 single. Internet users will often link to the song under false pretenses, hoping other internet users will click the link expecting something different and get 'rickrolled.' It is relatively common under the goncharov tag on tumblr, as gonchposters will sometimes include links which offer the opptorunity to read more about a specific aspect of the film which 'theyr discussing.' These links are almost exclusively rickroll links.

On 20 Nov 2022, tumblr user mapplejuice (mapple juice) posted to tumblr commenting on the score, including in their post an audio file, which they'd arranged, titled Goncharov's Theme in Minor. The piece, composed for two pianos and chimes, was a rearrangement of Rick Astley's *Never Gonna Give You Up*.

This piece works remarkably well with one of the established kayefabe-on thematic topics in Goncharov, that being the idea of running out of time.

### Raccoonfink

#### Main Theme (Ending Credits)

Tumblr user raccoonfink posted a orchestral track recomposition of caramiaaddio, claiming kayfabe-on that it plays over the film's ending credits.

Another tumblr user, if-only-angels-could-prevail had also uploaded a piece with the same kayfabe-on purpose. This dissonance tends to be resolved by ignoring it and giving Raccoonfink's piece a different title and kayfabe-on purpose; *Main Theme* (Reprise). It could also easily be resolved by just saying that the credits are long enough to need two pieces of music to score them.
