No, not Erich. Not Gottschalk's nephew, either, in case that one comes to mind. I brainstormed with myself and Google then corrected me to Bakaleinikov, but I'm not sure that's the one either. It was a name that reminded me of Balakirev (but wasn't, of course).
Anyway, I think Kalinnikov looked familiar because my father wrote in a note on one of the pieces in my small copy of The Book of 1000 Songs, having to do with a writing credit on some venerable tune (the book dates to maybe 1918, and mostly used stuff for which the price was, shall we say, right) or other. Annotating that particular volume is a happy hobby of mine, and Dad was glad to help out when I showed him the book. (In fact, he asked me to find him a copy and I got one sent to him. Next time I go to his place, I'll compare notes.)
