do you like shostakovich
No
Fav Shostakovich romances/art songs????
Currently, I'm a really big fan of his Six Romances op. 62 and From Jewish Folk Poetry, op. 79. I have a soft spot for Macpherson's Farewell and Lullaby from each respectively (coincidentally both the third movements??)
Thank you so much for asking!! Sorry for not getting around to answering this for so long!
youre so cool please dont go bald
THANK YOU!!!! I WILL TRY NOT TO!!!! In the name of Dmitri Shostakovich I will NOT go Bald
hey did you know there’s a Shostakovich 5th symphony reference in Princess Mononoke soundtrack
THERE'S A WHAT?????
I love your blog! What is your favourite Shostakovich fact?
AHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! It means so much to me to hear that ;o;
I have many favourite facts about Shostakovich, though something I always love talking about to people who don't know him is about his Symphony No. 9 and Symphony No. 7, for very different reasons. Both of those stories are just so fun to tell.
But in terms of fun facts, he went to the same conservatoire that Tchaikovsky went to! He also started to compose pretty young, and a lot of his earlier works were written and completed when he was around 13-16. I know a lot of composers started a lot younger than that, but I still think it's pretty cool! I really like his Op. 5 in particular ^^
I was going to elaborate on that, so I looked on Wikipedia just to fact-check and now I can't stop thinking about this
"A fourth piece was destroyed immediately upon completion" guess he just really did not like that one huh.
