| | Dmitri Shostakovich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Shostakovich's works are broadly tonal and in the Romantic tradition, but with elements of atonality and chromaticism. | | | It is certainly true that Shostakovich borrows extensively from the material and styles both of earlier composers and of popular music, with the shrillness of Mahler and the vulgarity of "low" music prominent influences on this "greatest of eclectics". | | | More broadly, they argue that the significance of Shostakovich is in his music rather than his life, and that to seek political messages in the music detracts from, rather than enhances, its artistic value. |

| | Dmitri Shostakovich - an overview of the classical composer |
| | It is true that Shostakovich like other composers has placed some hidden messages in his music, and it no doubt adds a different perspective to understand what was in the mind of a composer during the creative process, it is far from essential. | | | Likewise the composers who have influenced Shostakovich come from a variety of periods. | | | His entire musical career was therefore spent within Russia's Communist system, and in many ways it is clear that he had to strike a balance between his own artistic inclinations and the demands of the state. |

| | Shostakovich managed to weather the political storms and during the last decade of his life reached a plateau beyond ideological criticism. | | | Shostakovich was reportedly very fond of this music, and, indeed, composed these works at a time when, once again, anti-Semitism was rampant. | | | Shostakovich’s pre-eminence as "the" Soviet composer and his international reputation probably saved him from the fate of lesser known friends, supporters and artists. |

| | Shostakovich presented his First Symphony as his diploma work in 1925 and, in 1926, it was performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. | | | Even if it is not, Shostakovich still remains an artist member of the new elite with the talent, intelligence and courage to find what was probably a reasonable compromise between two desires: personal expression as an artist and social correctness as a composer writing the necessary and proper kind of music. | | | Shostakovich's other compositions of this period were in the same vein, to greater or lesser degrees. |

| | This schizophrenic duality is emblematic of the entire works by Shostakovich, and it took Western countries a long time to recognise and understand it, as most people were unaware of the skill an artist had to develop to survive in the hardest times of the Soviet Union. | | | Dmitri Shostakovich wrote in 1956 in one issue of "Sovietskaia Mouzika" (quoted in and translated from French book "Dmitri Chostakovitch" by Krzysztof Meyer, Fayard, page 285) : "I deeply regret that the Eighth Symphony, in which I put so much of my heart and reason, has not been played for long years. | | | The opposition between public, official monumental works and intimate ones is typical of the composer, torn between his prominent but imposed political role in the Soviet Union, and its artistic search for independence. |

| | A curious aspect of many of his later quartets is that many musicians have felt that their power seems at times fit to burst the confines of the string quartet medium. | | | Nowhere is this more clearly to be found than in his final string quartet, the Fifteenth, in the deeply morbid key of E flat minor. | | | After 1960, which saw the appearance of his Seventh and Eighth String Quartets, chamber music came to play a more important part in Shostakovich's output. |

| | The chamber works were always polished under Shostakovich’s supervision, and his loyalty to those performers and conductors to whom he gave his premieres was firm and unyielding. | | | As each year goes by we get closer to Shostakovich as a historical figure, and his work becomes less attached to the political leavings that were inevitably attached by musicologists, writers and party hacks in both the East and West. | | | The first is to ignore history completely; to accept his work, especially the symphonies, as "pure" music, thus ignoring any events that may lead one to grapple with the political contradictions in the composer& life. |

| | Everything that was to characterize the later works is already anticipated here with a brilliant and youthful lightness: the composer's mocking streak, his delight in jarring and unexpected turns, his mastery of orchestration, and his talent for undermining overblown romanticism with witty and satirical touches. | | | After the Pravda launched a violent attack on the opera, denouncing it as "neurotic, coarse, primitive and vulgar", Shostakovich suffered in silence, but was so disturbed by the criticism that he withdrew his equally radical Fourth Symphony just before its premiere. | | | It was an ideology that had to be expressed in every art form, including music. |
