   Extractions: Country: Russia Detailed Information about Introduction (born St. Petersburg, 25 September 1906; died Moscow, 9 August 1975). He studied with his mother, a professional pianist, and then with Shteynberg at the Petrograd Conservatory (1919-25): his graduation piece was his Symphony no.1, which brought him early international attention. His creative development, however, was determined more by events at home. Like many Soviet composers of his generation, he tried to reconcile the musical revolutions of his time with the urge to give a voice to revolutionary socialism, most conspicuously in his next two symphonies, no.2 ('To October') and no.3 ('The First of May'), both with choral finales. At the same time he used what he knew of contemporary Western music (perhaps Prokofiev and Krenek mostly) to give a sharp grotesqueness and mechanical movement to his operatic satire The Nose , while expressing a similar keen irony in major works for the ballet ( The Age of Gold The Bolt ) and the cinema ( New Babylon ). But the culminating achievement of these quick-witted, nervy years was his second opera

   Extractions: Dmitri Shostakovich Many artists have claimed to be products of the Bolshevik Revolution, but Shostakovich stands alone in level of celebrity and artistic achievement. The best-known composer of the Soviet era was born on September 25 th , 1906, in St. Petersburg to a cultured family that sided with left-wing political groups.  His paternal grandfather, Boleslav Shostakovich, was active as a revolutionary in the 1860s, while his father, Dmitri Boleslavovich, was a government engineer who supported trade unions.  His mother, Sofia Vassilyevna, was a piano teacher who gave Dmitri Dmitrievich his first lessons at age eight before he entered the Petrograd Conservatory at thirteen.  He then received training in piano from Leonid Nikolayev, training in composition from Maximilian Steinberg, and encouragement from conservatory headsman Alexander Glazunov, himself a notable composer.  Shostakovich was considered promising by the conservatory staff; he was active as a student composer and wrote his First Symphony as a graduation piece in 1925.  It was so impressive a work that it premiered in Leningrad, Berlin, and Philadelphia, vaulting Shostakovich to the forefront of Soviet art. The severe restrictions placed on art by Stalin and Khrushchev also helped cause Shostakovich to become disillusioned.  Always afraid of official condemnation, he followed the leads of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Mussorgsky by writing music with profound themes buried underneath dominant themes of a banal nature and completely opposite sentiment.  For his political safety, Shostakovich managed to keep his own voice while complying with the government's policy of "socialist realism" - art depicting the triumph of Leninism and the complete, if contrived, optimism of Soviet life.  Still, Shostakovich was disciplined by the cultural authorities on several occasions, particularly when all of the USSR's leading composers, including Prokofiev, Khachaturian, and Myaskovsky, were denounced for "formalism," or decadent avant-gardism, in 1948; this coming after a period of war when artists had greater creative freedoms.

    Extractions: First published in 1979, this controversial book still heats conversations about the composer Shostakovich and his embittered views on Stalin's regime. In it, Shostakovich confesses to his friend Volkov that he involuntarily played the role of a loyal spokesperson for the Soviet Union. Unsurprisingly, Volkov's book was attacked by skeptics and denounced by Stalinists, who called it a forgery. View Book Bag

Dmitri Shostakovich September 25 August 9 Russian composer whose life closely overlapped that of the Soviet Union Born in St. Petersburg Russia , Shostakovich was a child prodigy as both a pianist and composer (he once orchestrated the popular song "Tea for Two" in an hour on a bet.) He began his composing career as a revolutionary modernist, full of cheeky humor, because that's what he thought a revolutionary Soviet government wanted. His first three symphonies and the ballet The Golden Age are of this kind. But in Joseph Stalin heard his gutsy verismo opera Lady Macbeth of Mtzenk and caused an article to be published in Pravda denouncing Shostakovich for "formalism", a vague term that seems to have meant whatever Stalin didn't like.

    Extractions: This is the composer that I admire most. His music often sounds strange the first time you hear it, but if you listen to it a couple of times, you are hooked for good. His music is wild, passionate but often playful, especially his early stuff. Shostakovich continued writing program music which had convenient Soviet themes on the surface until Stalin's death. A famous composer who met him during that period said that he'd never met a more scared person in his life. As Rostropovich wrote, Shostakovich's inspiration came from the suffering of the Russian people. He never complained about his fate. Once, Stalin called him on the phone to ask him to represent the Soviet Union at the International Peace Congress in New York. Shostakovich told him that someone high up in the Party (perfectly knowing that it was Stalin himself) ordered that his music, and music of most other prominent Soviet composers not be played. He said that he would be asked about that, and he wouldn't be able to respond. Stalin replied, "We did not give such an order." He said that something would be done, and Shostakovich eventually did go to the conference, being very reserved when he got there. He couldn't be open. Shostakovich's most famous work is his Seventh Symphony called "the Leningrad symphony." The official explanation of the symphony is that it describes the heroic struggle of the people of Leningrad against the Nazis during the 2.5-year long siege of the city.

    Extractions: Stage Works Katerina Ismailova remains the principal opera of Shostakovich, with the early opera The Nose, based on Gogol, and the ballet The Golden Age. Incidental music for the theatre includes scores for Shakespeare's Hamlet and for King Lear, the same two plays being among the films for which he wrote scores. Orchestral Music Symphonies The fifteen symphonies of Shostakovich range in scope from the First Symphony of 1925, a graduation composition, to the embittered Thirteenth using Yevtushenko's poems. The Fourteenth, which contains settings of various poems came two years before the Fifteenth and last symphony of 1971. The Fifth Symphony, the immediate post-war Ninth and the Tenth of 1953 are most often heard, while Nos. 2 and 3, with Nos. 11 and 12, have more overtly patriotic suggestions about them.
