Kaunas Carillon
- ... that playing of music with Belgian-made bells of the Kaunas Carillon ceased for 16 years (1940–1956, except for one day on 23 June 1941) due to the Soviet and Nazi German occupations of Lithuania?

Kuprevičiui" (English: The carillon rang again in 1956 when the composers V. Kuprevičius and his son G. A. Kuprevičius started performing (since 1957 regularly); again first source).
