Hope you all celebrated! 100 years since the birth of this stupendous composer. I celebrated by rattling through the Preludes and Fugues again, and then I watched his cello sonata (for cello and piano) on Performance Channel. Wonderful!
There will be lots of his music around this Autumn - keep eyes and ears open!!

That's useful - we're doing a movement of a string quartet for A2 music!  The background research comes to us  Nearly finished reading 'Testimony' - his memoirs - it's very interesting though sad too! |

My university had a Shostakocich Centennial concert. Prior to the concert I was pretty unfamiliar with his music. I'm sure I had heard some of it before and just didn't know who the composer was. Anyway, I really enjoyed it.
