I wasn't asking it as a scientist or whatever. It's the accent.
There
was a State Institute of Musical Sciences in Moscow, in 1920s, its
name abbreviation read in Russian as "hymn". But then Isadora Duncan
was lured into Russia to teach proletariat dance and it was decided
the building should be given to her.

I don't follow at all here.

I'm just saying that such thing as "musical sciences" had been
considered, even if briefly, during turmoil times. Maybe a study in
this area could be furnished with a formal hypothesis. For example,
would Shostakovich beat Prokofiev (with whom they've always shared the
warmest relations) in a kettlebell competition? Prokofiev had been
described as athletic, with meaty yet flexible and handsome arms. On
the other hand, Shostakovich liked to watch soccer.

I am not only the most athletic musician I know, I am the most athletic
musician I've heard of. No doubt there were and are others, but all I
can find is that Prokofiev wrote an "Athletic March."
