13.1.4. All other male surnames that have consonant stems and a zero ending in nominative case(in writing they end with a consonant letter, ь or й), except for surnames in -y, -i, they are declined as nouns of the second declension male, i.e. they have the ending -om, (-em) in the instrumental case: Herzen, Levitan, Gogol, Vrubel, Hemingway, Gaidai. Such surnames are perceived as non-Russian.
Correlative female surnames are not declined: Natalia Aleksandrovna Herzen, Lyubov Dmitrievna Blok, with Anna Magdalena Bach, with Nadezhda Ivanovna Zabela-Vrubel, about Mary Hemingway, about Zoya Gaidai.
Note. The application of this rule requires knowledge of the gender of the bearer of the surname. The absence of such information puts the writer in a difficult position.

The form containing the last name indicates the gender of the person concerned. But if the author of the text did not have the necessary information, was unsteady in applying the grammatical rule, or was simply careless, the reader receives false information. Let's give one example. In the weekly magazine Moscow Speaks and Shows, the following program appeared in radio programs on 9.3.84: E. Mathis sings. The program includes songs by W. Mozart, K. Schumann, J. Brahms, R. Strauss. Who is K. Schumann? It can be assumed that the initial is indicated incorrectly: K. Instead of R. But it turns out that the songs of Clara Schumann (the wife of Robert Schumann, who was not only a pianist, but also a composer) were performed in the program. So grammar mistake disorients the reader.
In the plural, surnames of the type in question are also declined as masculine nouns: visited the Herzens, the Vrubels, the Gaidaevs, wrote to the Bloks, Hemingways, etc.
Note. There are, however, special rules setting such surnames in some cases in an inflected form plural, in others in an inflexible form. These rules, more related to syntax than to morphology, are developed in some detail by D. E. Rosenthal (see: Handbook of Spelling and Literary Editing. M., 1989. P. 191192, 149, paragraph 10). In accordance with these rules, it is recommended: with Thomas and Heinrich Mann, but with Robert and Clara Schumann, with the Oistrakh father and son, but with the Gilels father and daughter. This material is not discussed here.
