I imagine Glinka as a nice sweet gentle noble guy. He is not used to being or does not want to be grandiose in his speaking and his music. He just appeals to that gentle vulnerable and emotion-prone part of a human. Subtle happiness. Subtle sadness. Sweet but not too much. He’s not expressing everything out and leaving people breathless for the depth and grandeur of the emotion. In contrast, the emotion is just so subtle and so soft and delicate like some nice little spring rain that cannot soak your shirt wet but penetrates into your heart and lingers there and you suddenly realize there is a little water in your eyes.
No the subtlety of Glinka’s music does not mean he’s always half hearted. He loved two women, and easily abandoned these loves but music is always there in his heart. He didn’t give up ☺.
