Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because this man is already mentioned in the article for Nikolay Lvov, which is a lengthy article. There is little known about Prach, but his collection of Russian Folk Music is considered to be a highly important and influential collection. According to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, this book influence Beethoven and Rossini, as well as many Russian composers.

On this page, a person lamented that there was NO wikipedia article about Prach: http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php?topic=11225.1170;wap2
