Foreword to the
Second Edition
By Irina Shostakovich
I take particular pleasure in writing a few words to introduce this new edition.
Derek Hulme has invested in this book a colossal amount of work, not from
obligation or necessity, but for love of Shostakovich’s music—for his own satis-
faction, as it were. This feeling is most movingly reflected in the immense and
solicitous care he has lavished on every detail: nothing has been allowed to escape.
This same feeling caused Mr. Hulme to study the Russian language and to make
numerous visits to Leningrad and Moscow in the course of his researches.
The book is in the form of a catalogue of Shostakovich’s music, greatly
expanded for this new edition in comprehensiveness and circumstantial informa-
tion. I hope that it will be of use, not only to scholars, publishers, and performers,
but will also appeal to the ever-increasing circle of lovers of Shostakovich’s music,
collectors of his recordings, all those who are interested in the personality of the
man and who acknowledge a common response to the power of his music.
The book tells one much about Shostakovich’s compositions, gives what
amounts to a ‘biography’ of each of them, and outlines the ‘path of life’ along
which they have been destined to travel through succeeding generations.
The author undertook the publication of the first edition at his own expense,
and in consequence it could not achieve a wide distribution. The present, second,
edition has been realized by Oxford University Press—the University that hon-
oured Shostakovich with an Honorary Doctorate during his lifetime—and will
be accessible to far more people. It makes a significant contribution to the study
of Shostakovich’s art, and I salute it as a tribute to his memory and heritage.

Conductor Mark Fitz-Gerald reconstructed the film scores of Alone (Odna) Opus 26
and The Girlfriends Opus 41(ii); a number of pieces for theatre scores Rule, Britannia!
Opus 28 and Salute to Spain Opus 44; and eight bars of music to close the symphonic
fragment of Shostakovich’s first draft of the Ninth Symphony Opus 70. To his left is
Irina Shostakovich, who provided pre-publication copies of many scores, holding a copy
of the Naxos CD of Alone, and Peter Bromley, the Production Manager of the Naxos
and Marco Polo recording company. (Taken by Laurent Hili/ Naxos at the Association
Internationale ‘Dimitri Chostakovitch’, Paris on 20 November 2007.)
Composer Gerard McBurney made a reduction

for piano trio of The Bedbug Opus 19 in a suite
seven of pieces; a ten-piece arrangement Suite
from the film score Alone Opus 26; orchestrated
Hypothetically Murdered Opus 31a for small
orchestra and pieces for Hamlet Opus 32;
adaption for small mixed ensemble of Suite
for Jazz Orchestra Sans op. E; completion of
the orchestration of Four Romances on Poems of Pushkin Opus 46a; reconstruction of
the Original Jazz Suite No. 2 Sans op. G(i); new text in English doggerel of The Silly
Little Mouse Opus 56; and a major revision for small orchestra of the operetta Moscow,
Cheryomushki Opus 105. Gerald is now working on the newly discovered abandoned
opera Orango. (Photograph from Chicago Symphony Orchestra.)
Preface
The Vermont typesetters made a praiseworthy job of the layout of the Third
Edition manuscript. However, many curious deviations (fully detailed in DSCH
Journal, No. 20, January 2004, 33–34) occurred in the process of the scanning
of the thousand plus photocopied typewritten ‘scissor-and-paste’ manuscript
pages. Most of these typos were spotted at the proof-reading stage, though some
were noticed too late for correction.
In June 2004 the compiler decided to correct these errors and update
the catalogue in a concise, cheaper paperback edition. With the large amount
of recent research published in scholarly books and DSCH Journal, and the
increase in recordings for the centenary of the composer’s birth, this proved to
be impractical.
The catalogue was thoroughly revised on computer. This will be the final
edition in its present form. The compiler will definitely not be around for ‘The
Second Hundred Years’ volume! As mentioned in the previous three versions
of 1982, 1991, and 2002, the work was always intended as provisional—not as
a BWV—(for J. S. Bach), Köchel—(for Mozart), Deutsch—(for Schubert), or
Kirkpatrick—(for D. Scarlatti) type catalogue.
This rewarding pursuit is never ending with monthly releases of new and
reissued compact discs and digital versatile discs. Also, previously unknown
and suspected compositions by Shostakovich continue to materialize from the
DSCH offices in Moscow. It is the compiler’s ardent wish that in the next
decade or so a professional musicologist will compile a definitive annotated cata-
logue of all known works in strict chronological order, eliminating the necessity
of the temporary Sans op. listings.
As the world of the genius Shostakovich continues to expand during the
21st century it will, no doubt, require a separate volume to include the record-
ings, videos, DVDs, and films.

Acknowledgments
The compiler is pleased that he was able to thank Dmitri Shostakovich for his
inspired compositions before his untimely death and is indebted to his wife,
Irina Antonovna, for her considerable encouragement by telephone and letter.

xii A C K N O WLEDG MENTS
31 December 2006 the cut-off date for this Fourth Edition of the Catalogue,
and to Rob Ainsley for permission to quote his introductory note ‘Shostak-
ovich’s Century’ in the programme which makes an apt preface to the Chrono-
logical Chart.
Since 2002 Peter Bromley has continued, with the help of his many
world-wide contacts in the recording industry, to post his regular ‘Bulletins’ of
information on recent and historic Shostakovich releases. This contribution has
considerably eased the task of selecting material for inclusion in the Record-
ing sections. Coincidentally, his ‘Bulletins’ also reached their century in early
2007.
Gerald Bishop has made an exhaustive study of the timings of different
performances of Shostakovich’s works, at live concerts, on compact disc and
BBC Radio Three, and tabulated the duration of each opus and their individual
movements. The results have been added up and divided by the number of
performances to give an interesting—and useful—average. These average times
are probably of more help in planning concerts than the range of durations
given in this Catalogue. As examples: the average of 157 samples of Sym-
phony No. 5 is calculated at 46' 26" and 72 samples of String Quartet No. 8
works out at 21' 11". His detailed computer spreadsheets of Comparative Perfor-
mance Times are published in the DSCH Journal No. 29, pages 46–53. Contact
[email protected] for updated information.
Sincere thanks to Reńee Camus and Kellie Hagan for their attentive care in
seeing this complicated book through to publication.
Finally, to my youngest son Nevis for suggesting and purchasing an Apple
iBook laptop and to middle son Robin for his patience in showing me how to
master the intricacies of this machine.

Introduction
The main section of the catalogue covers the compositions work by work.
Discrepancies in the guise of earlier or incorrect numeration are noted under the
Music heading. Dated works without opus numbers are allotted a provisional
letter designation (e.g. Sans op. A) and inserted where appropriate. These carry
no official endorsement and are used solely to facilitate indexing in this guide.
Rather than slotting in certain undated and minor works in somewhat arbitrary
positions, these have been assembled, for the time being, under Sans op. X.
Where full information is known about a composition, details are presented
under up to twelve headings: Form (sufficient for positive identification);
Instrumentation (precise instrumentation of orchestral works is furnished
where known. A selection of instruments not conventionally featured in sym-
phonic writing is given below. To avoid confusion and to clarify doubling,
abbreviations are not used though it should be understood that ‘horn’ refers
to the French horn in F and, unless otherwise stated, ‘trumpets’ are in B flat);
Composed (the occasion for which the work was written can be added in certain
cases); Dedication (the dedicatee’s full name followed by a note of his or her
profession or standing); Premières (first performances listed in order of date,
venue and artists); Arrangements (reduction for piano(s) of orchestral com-
positions and accompaniments to concertos and vocal works. Suites assembled
from film and stage productions by the composer and fellow musicians); Music
(former opus numbers designated by the composer and errors in previous num-
bering are indicated); Duration (timings as specified in the printed score and/or
a range taken from recordings and broadcast performances); Ballets and Films
(credits given for ballets and films in addition to those based on the original
score); Recordings (see Appendix III for explanation of the coverage); Notes
(references to the literature and additional information).

Film, Radio, Television, and Theatre Productions

Talks and Revues broadcast on BBC Radio 3 are covered, as are world-wide
public performances of stage productions that have been featured in the DSCH
Journal. The full history of sound recording in the Soviet Union and world-
wide from 1925 to 2001 is repeated from the Third Edition and the paragraphs
on the four special USSR issues, along with details of the works recorded by
the composer, are retained. The entries are listed chronologically. Those that
were included in the Third Edition are abbreviated by omitting coupling works
of Shostakovich and/or names of other composers, and considerable pruning
of reissues. Mention is made, however, of all performances reviewed in The
Gramophone magazine. Recordings not listed in the Third Edition are indicated
by asterisks––one * for each release if issued prior to 2001 and two ** at the
start of the added section of new issues if dated after 2001. These new entries do
mention couplings in square brackets as in the Third Edition.
The First Hundred Years
SHOSTAKOVICH’S CENTURY
One hundred years is a long time. But not that long. Dmitri Shostakovich was
a man very much of our era, uncannily able to express the fears of an age in the
elusive language of music. He gave us the soundtrack to the 20th century, in all
its excitement and terror, brilliance and banality, optimism and tragedy.
It is a remarkable body of music. Two operas, 15 symphonies, 15 string
quartets, six concertos; chamber masterpieces, major piano works; and a sub-
stantial theatre, film and functional output. There is everything from mighty,
enduring concert favourites of unlimited depth, to bright throwaway theme—
tunes so immediate that few prime-time listeners realise this is ‘the work of a
classical composer.’
Highbrow and lowbrow; simplicity and complexity; beauty and ugliness;
obvious and hidden. High spirits and, more usually, despair. Few composers
have combined opposites so dramatically, or effectively.
Perhaps these paradoxes are part of his remarkable appeal. We can always
find a reflection of ourselves and our times in his music. Like life, wherever and
whenever it is lived, that music can be uncomfortable, unpredictable, and self-
contradictory. He articulates our anxiety, our grief, our rage. Hence, perhaps,
the intensity of debate that Shostakovich’s music always generates.
We now know far more about the composer, his times and his music, than
ever before. Yet in many ways we are only beginning to understand Shostakovich’s
achievements. One hundred years is a long time. But not that long.

Notes: A scholarly source-study of this ballet score by Manashir Yakubov
appears in Shostakovich Studies (David Fanning ed., Cambridge University
Press, 1995).
The ‘general confusion’ arising from the titles of Nos. 15–17 (DSCH
1995 list) is caused when the captain of the Soviet football team lifts the ball
high in the air and the Fascists throw themselves onto the ground believing
it to be a bomb about to be exploded. The captain places the ball at the head
of the Exhibition Director who is lying on the ground with the Fascists. The
frightened and embarassed Fascists realise their mistake and gradually regain
their composure.
Shostakovich composed two pieces about the game of football: No. 25

in this ballet score entitled ‘The Football Match,’ commencing with a
whistle blast, in 5/4 and 4/4 time marked Allegro and a choreographic
divertissement ‘Football’ in 2/4 time—a Presto galop in Russian River
Opus 66.
Opus 23: Entr’acte and Finale

Form: Two compositions for orchestra (including a flexatone), contributed
to an epilogue entitled ‘What is modern America like?’ for Erwin Dressel’s
opera Der arme Columbus (alternatively known as Armer Columbus—‘The
Poor Columbus’), with libretto by Arthur Zweiniger:
1. Entr’acte in C minor (also known as the ‘Overture’ although it appears
before the sixth scene of the opera)—Allegretto poco moderato
2. Finale in C major—Moderato—Andantino—Allegro
The main theme from the Finale utilized in The Golden Age, Opus 22
No. 19 (Foxtrot), Declared Dead, Opus 31 No. 34 (The Archangel Gabriel’s
Number), and the fourth movement of Piano Concerto No. 1, Opus 35.
This number accompanied an interpolated animated film projected onto a
stage screen.

Composed: 1929, at Leningrad.
Première: 14 December 1929, Theatre of Working-class Youth, Leningrad

(TRAM); directed by Mikhail Sokolovsky and R. Suslovich.

Opus 25: Virgin Soil

Form: Incidental music to a stage play drama Soil by Arkadi Gorbenko and
Nikolai Lvov.
Composed: April 1930, at Leningrad.
Première: 9 May 1930, Leningrad Working Youth Theatre (TRAM); directed
by Mikhail Sokolovsky and Nikolai Lebedyev.
Recordings: —
Notes: This production was not based on Mikhail Sholokhov’s novel
Virgin Soil Upturned, the first part of which was published in 1932. The
subject-matter—the socialist collectivization of the countryside—however,
was similar.
In 1932–33 Shostakovich, in conjunction with Fedodosi Rubtsov, also wrote
incidental music for the four-act stage play Combative Course by A. Gorbenko,
N. Lvov, and Mikhail Sokolovsky staged by TRAM. The original music is lost
though a typed text is preserved in the Glinka Museum.
Opus 26: Alone

Form: Music for the black-and-white sound film Alone, with screenplay (based
on a true newspaper story of the suicide of a teacher named Lapshina) and
direction by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg, for the Leningrad
Soyuzkino Studio. A song dictated to the composer by Trauberg ‘How
OPUS 26: AL ON E 69
beautiful life will be’ (also translated as ‘Happy Days are Coming’) provides
a leitmotiv for the film. The sound-track carried music only; no human
voices apart from scraps of insignificant phrases and fragments of speech
introduced by chance. The orchestra is augmented by a brass band, organ,
and Theremin.
Reel 6 was destroyed by fire in the Leningrad Siege. The film, apart
from Reel 6, was restored from several sources in the mid-1960s by
Gosfilmofond.
Reel 1 (Leningrad episodes)
No. 4. March: The Street—Allegro

No. 6. Andante
No. 8. Andante
No. 18. Allegro
Also three fragments existing in piano arrangements: ‘The Beginning’,
‘The Dream’ (later used as No. 34 in Hamlet, Opus 32), and ‘March’.
The opening numbers depict a day-dreaming sequence ending with a tram
taking off into the clouds. ‘Barrel-organ’ Reel 3 No. 6 is based on ‘The
Dance’ (Moderato quasi Allegretto) for piano dedicated to the composer’s
younger sister Zoya.
The full score consists of 44 numbers: Nos. 1 to 13 and 15 to 45 (No. 14
being a recording of a Mongolian overtone singer). Five of the 44 belong
to the missing Reel 6. All but five of the remaining 39 numbers are played
differently on the soundtrack to those corresponding items published in
Volume 41 of Collected Works. The restoration of the score was prepared
initially by Theodore van Houten of the Film in Concert Foundation,
Haamstede and realized by Mark Fitz-Gerald in 2003, assisted by Nic Raine
who notated some fragments by ear from the soundtrack; the whole opera-
tion being supervised by Krzystof Meyer.
Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, cor anglais, E flat clarinet, 2 B flat
clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon ~ 4 horns, 2 trumpets,
3 trombones, 3 tubas ~ timpani, triangle, wood block, side drum, cymbals,
bass drum, gong ~ glockenspiel, xylophone, Theremin ~ harp, organ ~
soprano and tenor soloists, S.A.T.B. chorus ~ strings. An eight-piece band is
employed in Reels 1, 6, and 7; the organ in Reel 3 No. 3 and the theremin
in Reel 6 No. 4.
Composed: early autumn 1930 to the summer of 1931, at Leningrad.

Notes: Yelena Kuzmina is not only the name of the actress but also that of the
young teacher she plays. ‘That was our realism!’ (Trauberg). Her lover was
played by her husband Pyotr Sobolevsky. Restoration of the film in 2003
shows that the heroine does not die in the snow after being thrown off a
sledge, as thought as late as 1996 (e.g., Meskhishvili gives the Finale of Reel
6 as ‘Death of Kuzmina’), but is rescued by villagers.
For first-hand information on this film see Chapter X of Leonid Trauberg
and His Films by Theodore van Houten (Art & Research/Graduate Press,
s-Hertogenbosch, Buren, 1989). The original film presented a short colour-
sequence during the tram-ride. Trauberg reported that ‘the flowers on the
tram were hand-tinted yellow, red, and blue’ and when ‘the colours changed
it was such a nice, joyous effect’.
See also Shostakovich and FEKS by Dr Hélène Bernatchez (Munich, 2006).
Reviews of the two premières of the restored film by Henny van der Groep
and John Riley are given in DSCH Journal No. 19 (July 2003), 43–45.
For an understanding of the film’s story line the English titles of the six
reel numbers and their cues in the booklet with the Naxos 2006 recording
are a great improvement on those given in the Muzyka (1987) and DSCH
Publishers (2004) scores.
The solo violin plays the Andantino by Fritz Kreisler during the ‘Music
from loudspeakers during telephone box scene ’. Kreisler ascribed this piece
to Padre Martini and admitted that it was one of his own compositions
OPUS 27: T H E BOL T 73
in 1935. Shostakovich, of course, would not have known of this hoax in

1930–31.

the score). ‘The Wreckers’ of Act 1, Scene 2:4a (or No. 10 in the score) is
taken from No. 18 of the composer’s original score of The Golden Age, Opus

scenario is given in Goltsman.

Notes: In the second edition No. 2 (e), ‘The Goblin’, of Act 3 Scene 2, was
translated from the ‘Domovoi’ listed by Sadovnikov in his 1965 Catalogue.
‘Domovoi’ is a printer’s error which should read ‘Lomovoi’, Russian for
‘The Drayman’ or ‘The Carter’.
The Budyonny Mounted Army, featured in Act 3 of the ballet, named
after the legendary Semyon Budyonny who began his career as a cavalryman
OP U S 28: RUL E, BRIT AN N IA! 83
and became a Marshal of the Soviet Army. According to Volkov (1979)

he was ‘famed for his huge moustache and outstanding stupidity’. The
Budyonovka, a pointed helmet worn by the Red Army from 1918, was
named after him.
For ‘Observations on The Bolt’ see Simon Morrison’s article ‘Shostakovich
as Industrial Saboteur’ in Shostakovich and His World (Laurel E. Fay ed.,
Princeton University Press, 2004, 117–61 with five illustrations of costumes
by Tatyana Bruni).
The drunken characters Ivan Corkscrew, Fyodor Beer, Manka Fart (sic) et
al. named in the première booklet and in Sadovnikov’s Catalogue (1965) do
not appear in the story of the ballet in the booklet nor in any musical texts.
Strangely, they reappear in the BelAir DVD booklet (2007). Manka Fart is
spelt thus ‘v»ËÍ’ in Cyrillic but is actually slang for the word ‘Luck’.

Notes: Mtsensk is a city 280 kilometres south of Moscow, on the main rail-
way line to Kursk. The title of the opera is frequently given with one or
two unnecessary definite articles—e.g. The Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk
District as in Kennedy 1980—though it is quite acceptable to use a shorter
Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk as is the case with Rostropovich’s pioneering
recording.
The instrumentation given above refers to the 1935 score which states that
the Passacaglia was replaced by a moderated version played by the organ and
the optional band was deleted. However, Laurel E. Fay (in Fanning 1995)
has discovered that the instrumentation of 1932 and 1935 is identical. From
her research it appears ‘Shostakovich envisaged the organ passacaglia, as a
self-contained excerpt... But there is no indication that he ever intended the
organ version to replace the orchestral in a staged production’. The organ
passacaglia was performed at the Leningrad Philharmonic Bolshoi Hall on
17 January 1933 and entered the repertoire of Mikhail Starokadomsky.
David Fanning discusses the use of leitmotiv in the opera in Kovnatskaya
(1996) and Fay contributes a 28-page article on the versions and revisions
from Lady Macbeth to Katerina [Opus 114.] in Fanning 1995. See also the
entry in Volume 2 of The New Grove Dictionary of Opera (1992).
The opera was severely attacked in an unsigned editorial ‘Muddle instead
of music’ in the issue of Pravda dated 28 January 1936. The author of the
article was probably a political journalist, David Zaslavsky (Wilson 1994).
An English translation appears in DSCH Newsletter XII.

of gold’ provides a leitmotiv for the score. Another song is based on the
urban song ‘There Used to be Merry Days’ and was later used in Moscow,

Fyodor Lopukhov. Of the thirty-five numbers composed, eleven or so are

The March No. 12 is identical to Hamlet, Opus 32 No. 43. ‘The
Archangel Gabriel’s Number’ No. 34, foreshadowed in The Golden Age,
Opus 22 No. 19 (score) or No. 20 (ballet), is quoted in the Finale of Piano
Concerto No. 1, Opus 35. Bacchanalia No. 29 is a reworking of the sexual
harassment of Aksinya episode in Lady Macbeth, Opus 29 (NB. John of
Kronstadt was a late nineteenth-century priest, who did good work among
the very poor of St Petersburg, and Paraskeva Pyatnitsa was a female Greek
saint in the early church, whose Orthodox Church feast-day is celebrated
on 28 October though only when it occurs on a Friday). ‘The Jugglers’
No. 21 reappears as ‘Balda’s Work’ No. 12 in The Tale of a Priest and His
Servant Balda, Opus 36. The text of No. 4 satirizes Mikhail Lermontov’s
poem Borodino and No. 33a is a brief parody of ‘Song of the Golden Calf’
from Gounod’s Faust. Petrushka No. 17 uses a well-known chatushka,
originally a tune with indecent lyrics (see Gerard McBurney’s letter in

Tempo No. 189, June 1994).
Instrumentation: Not known precisely though the composer made over
twenty marginal lists of instruments on the piano score.

Notes: This work has been named in the English language as Allegedly Mur-
dered, Conditional Death, and Conditionally Dead–Killed–Murdered. Nicolas
Slonimsky offers Technically Killed as yet another variation. Recent research
by G. McBurney favours a buzz-word of the 1930s, Hypothetically Murdered
(see the CBSO Society Ltd. programme note, 20 November 1991 and in
Edmunds 2004) and this title is retained for the arrangements Opp. 31a and
31b. Elizabeth Wilson (1994, page 101, note 93) argues that all these trans-
lations are misleading and Declared Dead would be a more accurate title.
The two numbers Overture and a dance called ‘The Destruction (or
Ruination) of the City’, stated to have been discovered as belonging to
Declared Dead in 1999, originate from the score of the ballet The Bolt and
are not world premières. The Overture has been recorded many times in The
Bolt Suite (Opus 27a) and ‘The Destruction of the City’ in Rozhdestvensky’s
two-disc set of the complete score in 1994 (titled ‘The Installation of the
Machines Pantomime’); joined recently by the BelAir DVD of 2007 (titled
‘Checking the machines’). It is likely Shostakovich considered salvaging
these two numbers from his failed ballet for the stage revue. The Overture on
the Mandala recording is cut from figs. 13 to 19 and continues from fig. 23
to the final bar then attacca to the complete ‘The Destruction of the City’.

Turbine No. 50,000, and Coming your way. The working title of the film was
Greeting the Future and a further alternative title was Shame. Vstrechnyi in its
various translations gives the title to the film’s most popular song: ‘The Song of
the Counterplan’, ‘Song of the Passer–by’, ‘Song About the First Comer’, and
‘Song of the On-Coming’ (sic). Rabinovich (1959) gives ‘Song of the Young
Workers’ which was followed by Zelikov, Collected Works Volume 34, and
other translators. Martynov (1962) has ‘We’re Met by the Breezes of Morn-
ing’, Malcolm MacDonald lists ‘We Meet this Morning’, Volkov (2004) offers
‘The Morning Greets Us’ and also ‘The Morning Greets Us with Coolness’ all
four of which derive from the first line of the lyric in English translation—‘The
cool of the dawn greets us early’. ‘Song of the Meeting’, adopted in the 1st and
2nd editions of this catalogue, is a simple amalgam of these sources. (DCH).
In honour of Stalin’s birthday, ‘Salute to Life’ was performed by Sir Henry
Wood and the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a Bedford studio concert of
Russian and Soviet music on 21 December 1941. The invited audience
included Agnes Maisky, wife of the Soviet Ambassador, and Russian sol-
diers and sailors. The composer was unaware of this version listed on the
compiler’s query sheet.
‘The United Nations March’, arranged by Langendoen, was played by the
Boston Symphony Orchestra and The Collegiate Chorale, under Leonard
Bernstein, at the first Human Rights Day concert on 10 December 1949, in
the Carnegie Hall, New York (recorded privately in USA on 8" acetate disc).
Leopold Stokowski’s transcription, with an added choral conclusion, was
performed by the Symphony of the Air and the Schola Cantorum conducted
by Hugh Ross, at a concert on the first United Nations Day, 24 October 1954,
in the newly finished UN Headquarters, New York. The ‘United Nations
Hymn’, published in 1942, refers to the topical theme of nations being
united in the fight against Nazi Germany and Japan. The United Nations
was founded in 1946 but there was not an official ‘hymn’ of the organisation
until one was commissioned by U Thant, then Secretary–General, from
Pablo Casals in 1970 to text by W.H. Auden (Edward Johnson in litt.).

the Counterplan’ by John Riley in Edmunds 2004.

O PUS 3 6 : T H E TA LE OF A P RIEST A ND HIS SERVAN T BAL DA 137
Opus 36: The Tale of a Priest and His Servant Balda

Form: Music for a full-length black-and-white animated cartoon after the fairy
story written by Aleksandr Pushkin in 1830. The film, directed by Mikhail
Tsekhanovsky was not completed. Only 165 feet of the film survived the
bombing of the Leningrad Film Studio in 1941.
Composed: Prologue commenced on 6 March 1933. The ‘Scene in the
Bazaar’ written on 18 September 1934 in the Crimea and the remainder of
the score composed on 5 November 1934. Part of the score of 15 numbers
was re-orchestrated in 1935. The composer intended reviving his old score
in 1975. Eleven of the original numbers in piano score were discovered in
the 1990s and orchestrated by Vadim Bibergan.
Premières: Film: surviving footage, ‘Scene in the Bazaar’, shown at the Fifth
International Film Festival in Moscow on 9 July 1967.
Suite: spring 1935, Leningrad International Music Festival; conducted by
Aleksandr Melik-Pashayev.
Suite revival: 25 September 1979, Leningrad; Leningrad Philharmonic
Orchestra, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky.
Opera: 25 (public audition) and 28 September 1980, Leningrad; Malyi
Opera and Ballet Theatre Company, Nikolai Boyarchikov (choreography),
Andrei Petrov (stage-director), Mikhail Travkin (chorus-master), and
Valentin Kozhin (conductor).
Piano suite: February 1983, Kiev, ‘Shostakovich Unknown Pages’ concert.
Restored version: 6 June 1999, Moscow Pushkin Festival, Bolshoi Ballet
staged production.
Arrangements: Suite assembled by the composer:
1. Overture—Allegro non troppo
2. The Procession of the Obscurantists—Allegro moderato
3. Carousel—Moderato
4. Scene in the Bazaar—Allegro
5. The Priest’s Daughter’s Dream—Andante
6. Finale—Allegro non troppo
No. 5, retitled ‘Sentimental Romance’, is included in the Ballet Suite
No. 2, Sans op. P(i). This piece transcribed for trumpet and piano by Jack
Holland. No. 4 quotes ‘The Rushes Sighed’, a sentimental song popularly
sung by drunken Russians. Numbers from the score transcribed for wind
orchestra by Vadim Bibergan.
Opera: Sofya Khentova was commissioned by the RSFSR Ministry of
Culture in 1980 to write the libretto and restore the music for a two-act comic
opera. The opera features mime and dancing as well as singing, and is scored
for a large symphony orchestra (including saxophones, saxhorn, vibraphone,
harp, accordion, bayan, guitar, and balalaika), solo singers, S.A.T.B. chorus, and
narrator. Insufficient volume of original material was compensated by repetition

Notes: The ballet was attacked in an unsigned article ‘Falsehood in Ballet’ in
the issue of Pravda dated 6 February 1936.
The original working title for the ballet was ‘Caprices’ (also translated as
‘Whims’). The titles’ ‘Two Sylphes’, ‘Midday’, and ‘Kuban’ were considered.
The Russian name is Svetlyi ruchei. In Russian–English dictionaries the first
word translates as light/bright or lucid/clear, while the second appears as
brook/rill/stream. A surprisingly wide-ranging variety of titles are found in
the English literature. These include The Limpid Brook in early writings (e.g.
Calvocoressi 1944 and Moisenko 1949) and The Bright Stream commonly
in recent works (e.g. MacDonald 1977, Volkov 1979, Kennedy 1980, and
Devlin 1983). Other variants are Clear Water Springs (Moisenko 1942), The
Sparkling Brook (Seroff 1943 and Krebs 1970), Clear Brooks (Boelza 1943),
Bright Rivulet (Martynov/ Guralsky 1947), The Glittering Stream (D. and
I. Sollertinsky 1980), The Clear Well (Khentova, Opus 36 score), Sparkling
Stream (Vishnevskaya 1985), and The Enlighted Brook (Cadenza liner-note).
For further recordings see under Ballet Suites Nos. 1–3, Sans op. P(i) and

Opus 41: (i) The Youth of Maxim

Form: Music for the first film in the ‘Maxim Trilogy’, The Youth of Maxim,
subtitled The Bolshevik, with screenplay and direction by Grigori Kozintsev
and Leonid Trauberg for Lenfilm. The black-and-white film received the
First Prize (Silver Goblet) at the International Film Festival, Moscow, 1935.
The revolutionary songs ‘Warsaw March’ (‘Varshavyanka’) and ‘You Fell
as Victims’ are quoted in the score. Shostakovich wrote a Prologue marked
‘Allegro molto’ for the opening of the film. The part of Maxim was played
throughout the Trilogy by Boris Chirkov. The popular Russian song that
Maxim sings, accompanied by a bayan during the opening credits is ‘A Blue
Balloon is twirling around above my head’ (composer anonymous).
Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, E flat and 2 B flat clarinets,
2 bassoons ~ 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ timpani, side drum,

Notes: The remainder of the musical items were not composed by Shostakovich
and include songs with bayan and guitar accompaniment, solo voice, and
mixed choir with piano (‘Gaudeamus igitur!’), the Oira Polka, Waltzes for
bayan, and a Flourish.
The Prologue, describing New Year revelry in St Petersburg, combines
three themes: the Oira Polka on woodwind, a Krakowiak (or Cracovienne—a
lively Polish dance) on brass, and the gipsy romance ‘Black Eyes’ on solo
trombone and strings; and also includes a cabaret song ‘I’m a Football-
player’ and ends with a Can-Can.

of 1965 and Three Preludes for trumpet, string quartet, and piano were

Notes: The symphony was given the designation ‘A Soviet artist’s practical
creative answer to just criticism’ by an unidentified musicologist in an article
‘My Creative Answer’, issued over the composer’s signature, in Vechernyaya
Moskva (Moscow evening paper) on 25 January 1938.
There are several instances in Russian books and articles of the Fifth
Symphony being dubbed the ‘Hamlet Symphony’. Rabinovich probably
started this in 1959, followed by Polyokova, Sabinina, and others so the
composer would have known of this nickname. It appears, from Russian
sources, in the Soviet Weekly obituary of 16 August 1975: ‘Shostakovich
was spurred on, not disheartened, by criticism [and] wrote his magnificent
Fifth (‘Hamlet’) Symphony’. This unofficial title is not favoured by Western
musicologists.
For over fifty years Mravinsky played the four notes at the end of bar
284 (fig 38 minus 2 bars) of the fourth movement from the copyist’s manu-
script score and parts as A flat, G, F, C (not A flat, G, A flat, C as in the
printed music). Mrs Mravinsky, who was principal flautist of the Leningrad
Philharmonic Orchestra from 1962 to 1988, believed the F note to be
OP U S 48: VOL OCH AY EVKA DAY S 191
correct as Shostakovich never commented on the conductor’s interpretation

of this symphony. Stokowski used a copyist’s score in 1939 but Rodzinski
was able to obtain a printed version in 1942.
Inna Barsova writes about the final movement in Bartlett 2000 and
Richard Taruskin’s essay in Fanning 1995 covers the whole symphony.
In the coda of the symphony Shostakovich repeats the note Lah 252
times in 33 bars as ‘a cry of despair’. ‘Lala’ is a short way of saying ‘Helen’
and linked to ‘Ya’ (‘me’). Helen (Elena Evseyevna Konstantinovskaya), a
woman he loved and who rejected him, left for Spain where she married
Roman Carmen and to Shostakovich she became his Carmen (see DSCH
XXI and Manashir Yakubov).
Opus 48: Volochayevka Days

Form: Music for the film Volochayevka Days for Lenfilm with screenplay and
direction by Georgi and Sergei Vasiliev (who worked together as ‘The
Vasiliev Brothers’ though, in fact, they were unrelated). Also given alterna-
tive titles of Intervention in the Far East and The Far East. Appears translated
as Volchachev Days and Days of Volochayesk in some lists. A song, ‘To the
Partisan’ (or ‘Blue Distances Where the Waves Lap’—words anon.), com-
posed for the film used as a leitmotiv in the Overture, choral numbers, and
Finale. The following material is extant:
1. Overture—Allegretto
2.
14. The Japanese Attack—Allegretto
16. [Fragment]—Allegro—Maestoso
‘Along the valleys and over the hills’ ‘The Song of the Far Eastern
Partisans’ (I. Aturov, text by Pyotr Parfenov)—Moderato con moto

Note: On its first recording the song ‘Along the valleys and over the hills’ (also
translated as ‘Thro’ the dales and o’er the hills’) was attributed to Aleksandr
V. Aleksandrov as arranger with text by S. Ya. Alymov. Subsequently,
the writers were changed to composer I. Aturov and lyricist P. Parfenov.
Anatoli Zhelezny (Nash drug–gramplastinka. ‘Our friend–the gramophone
record’. Muzychna Ukrania, Kiev, 1989, 140–52) argues that Aturov was
not involved and Parfenov, composer of four other patriotic songs, probably
wrote the melody of this song of the Far Eastern Partisans. See also Opp 44
and 74.

Note: See the article ‘The Lost Jazz Suite No. 2’ by McBurney in DSCH Jour-
nal No. 14. Advertised as the ‘Lost’ Jazz Suite No. 2 in the Boosey & Hawkes
catalogue. Manashir Yakubov in his extensive notes to NCW Volume 32

2, including the Lullaby in an altered form, found in 2000 so this report
may be erroneous.

Notes: Theodore van Houten provides information on the Trilogy in
his monograph on Leonid Trauberg (1989). As Riley (2004) reports
Shostakovich represents ‘an unsavoury alliance of the bourgeoisie and
anarchists with a shabby brass band rendition of the ‘Cannon Song’ from
Die Dreigroschenoper’ (Kurt Weill’s 1928 adaptation of The Threepenny
Opera).
The scene in the film showing the baptism of a child had to be cut in the
Netherlands because it was considered blasphemy for a child to be baptised
by a layman.

Note: This two-part film presented the official version of the assassination
of the popular Party leader of Leningrad, Sergei Kirov (given the fictional
name of Pyotr Shakov in this production). Kirov helped to establish Soviet
power in the Caucasus after 1917 and was head of the Communist Party in
Leningrad from 1926. He supported Stalin against his rivals but is thought
to have led the opposition to the leader’s personal rule following the 17th
Party Congress in 1934. On 1 December 1934 a young Party member
named Leonid V. Nikolayev walked into Kirov’s Smolny office and shot
him. This assassination triggered the notorious political trials and reign
of terror of the thirties. Thousands were arrested, shot, or sent to labour
camps and in 1937–38 hundreds of leading Party members in Leningrad
were eliminated. Sergei Kirov lives on in the names of numerous places and
institutions, among them the Kirov Theatre of Opera and Ballet (formerly
the Mariinsky) in Leningrad.

Notes: As no full score of the original Strauss composition was available in
Leningrad, Shostakovich was asked to orchestrate the polka from a library
copy of the piano score and, as a consequence, omits the representation of the
guard’s whistle and the tooting of the engine’s old-fashioned steam hooter.
The excursion train of the sub-title ran between Vienna and the
vine-growing village of Grinzing, a few kilometres to the north-west.

Films: Leningrad. Scenes of the composer at work on his symphony in this
film directed by Roman Carmen.
Leningrad Symphony. A fictional account of the symphony’s première
directed by Zakhar Agranenko used fragments from Opus 60, played by
the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Mravinsky, and a soundtrack
scored by Veniamin Basner. Strangely, the composer was not featured in the
film that was first screened on 26 September 1957.
A Matter of Survival. Mark Wigglesworth travelled to a snowy St Petersburg
for the BBC2 TV series ‘Everything to Play for’ to research a thirty-minute
programme screened on 26 December 1997. Historic film clips of the city of
Leningrad and the composer during the Siege; interviews with 80-year-old
oboist Ksenya Matus (who paid for the repair to her instrument for the
9 Aug. 1942 concert with a ‘pussy cat’—then preferable to chicken as food),
a Siege survivor Leonid Gisen, and 93-year-old conductor Ilya Musin; inter-
spersing a moving commentary by Wigglesworth who rehearsed the San
Francisco Symphony Orchestra for their first concert performance of the
Leningrad Symphony since 1943.

Notes: Moscow Chamber Opera have solved the problem of staging the incom-
plete opera by tacking Antiformalist Rayok, Sans op. X(ii), on to the end
of ‘The Gamblers’. At the point where Shostakovich abandoned the opera,
officials arrive to confiscate the music, accusing it of being formalistic. They
replace it with the score of Rayok and then perform that work.
See Laurel E. Fay’s entry in The New Grove Dictionary of Opera,
Volume 2, 342–43.

Notes: The autograph and 1943 published score are titled ‘Six Romances for
Bass’; later music and lists give ‘Six Romances on English Verses’ (sic) and
‘Six Romances on Verses by English Poets’ (sic). The Soviet musicologist
Vera Vasina-Grossman, more correctly, retitled this song cycle ‘Six
Romances for bass on words of poets of Great Britain’ and the title is given
as ‘Romances on words of W. Raleigh, R. Burns, and W. Shakespeare’ in
the Muzyka albums.
The first of the three Burns’ settings was dedicated to Miss Jessie Lewars,
who nursed the poet during his last illness in 1796; the second was set in
1788 to the fiddle tune composed by the freebooter, James Macpherson,
on the eve of his execution at Banff on 16 November 1700 (see Hulme in
DSCH Journal No. 10 and MacPherson’s ‘Rant and Other Tales of the
Scottish Fiddle’ by Stuart McHardy, Birlinn, Edinburgh, 2004, 17–24);
and the third, a revision of an old bawdy song concerning a wanton girl
up to no good in a field of rye. ‘Coming thro’ the Rye’, also in Marshak’s
translation, appears in Sans op. M though here Shostakovich orchestrates
its traditional folk melody.
Songs Nos. 2 and 3 of the Opus 62 cycle are quoted in the Thirteenth
Symphony, Opus 113.
Opus 63: Native Leningrad

Form: Incidental music for concert play spectacle Native Country (or
Motherland), scored for tenor and bass soloists, choir, and orchestra. The

Notes: This cycle was originally incorrectly titled Eight English and American

The second song, set to its traditional melody, tells of the wife of a
carpenter, John Anderson, recalling happy days with her ‘jo’ (= darling)
husband.
The Scottish song ‘Annie Laurie’, with music by Lady John Scott and
words adapted by her from the poem by William Douglas, arranged for
voice and chamber orchestra was probably considered as an item for this
cycle. The rough undated draft in the Glinka Museum, in a Russian trans-
lation, is marked ‘Molto moderato’ and scored for 2 flutes, 2 clarinets,
4 horns, and strings. See Hulme in DSCH Journal No. 10.

Notes: The heroine’s childhood is recalled in the opening of the film. During
a history lesson at school Zoya tells the class of the heroic action of the
patriotic peasant, Ivan Susanin, who accepts a Polish bribe to lead their
invading soldiers to the recently-elected Tsar in a Moscow monastery but,
craftily, diverts them into a dense forest. When the Poles discover his ruse,
they kill him. The chorus from Glinka’s opera is heard during this episode
and again when Zoya is accompanying her school friend through the
deserted Red Square at night. At the end of the film, after her brutal murder
by the Nazis, the theme ‘Glory’ is gradually worked into the score and finally
quoted as an exalted hymn of praise.
The Capriccio booklet states ‘Although the title might lead one to think
Soya is a documentary about the production of salad oil, the film is actually
a Socialist fairy-tale about a peasant girl ‘from ancient times’ (sic).
Sans op. N: National Anthem Contest Entries

(I) PATRIOTIC SONG
Form: Anthem (alternatively known as ‘Glory to our Soviet Motherland’) for
mixed chorus and piano, with lyric by Yevgeni Dolmatovsky, submitted as

1978.
Arrangement: Accompaniment orchestrated by the composer.

by Khachaturyan, the remainder by Shostakovich, who orchestrated the

(III) NATIONAL ANTHEM

Form: Two settings of Sergei Mikhalkov and Gabriel El-Registan’s words were
composed. The melody of one version, quoted on page 176 of Khentova
(1979b), was used in Russian River, Opus 66 (words by Iosif Dobrovolsky);
Victorious Spring, Opus 72 (words by Yevgeni Dolmatovsky); and My
Native Country, Sans op. Y. Novorossiisk Chimes, Sans op. U and the song
Supporters of Peace March, Sans op. X(i) are based on the first two bars.
The second version was composed jointly with Aram Khachaturyan and
orchestrated for full orchestra and two-part chorus by Shostakovich.

(B flat), 2 bassoons ~ 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ timpani,

and Gabriel El-Registan, was adopted as the National Anthem of the
USSR from 1 January 1944. Other anthems submitted were composed by
Khachaturyan alone and Iona Tuskiya.

Yeltsin was replaced by the Aleksandrov anthem for the New Year 2001
with the original lyric rewritten by the 87-year-old Mikhailov.

Notes: The Breitkopf & Härtel scores and parts, used by Western conductors
after 1947, incorrectly give E sharp in the Finale coda muted violin solo
(at bar 559 before fig. 172), whereas the Muzgiz and Muzyka scores faith-
fully reproduce the composer’s C sharp. This note is wrongly played in the
DePreist, Previn, Haitink, Inbal, and Järvi recorded versions but corrected
by Slatkin and Solti.
It was unofficially christened the ‘Stalingrad Symphony’ after the
American première.
Richard Pleak contributes important and revealing ‘Unpublished letters
from Shostakovich to Koussevitzky’ to DSCH Newsletter XIII (August
1989), found while doing research at the Library of Congress. These con-
cern criticisms of the conductor’s 1944 and 1946 recordings of, respectively,
Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9.
The UK concert and broadcast première was originally scheduled to
be performed on 13 July 1944, by the London Philharmonic Orchestra
under Sir Adrian Boult, from the Royal Albert Hall as part of Sir Henry
Wood’s Jubilee Season of Promenade Concerts. However, the concert was
cancelled by the authorities as it was realized that the hall’s glass dome
made it a potential death trap with the onset of Hitler’s V-1 flying bomb
attacks. The concert and broadcast took place on the same date, transferred
to Bedford with substituted orchestra and conductor (see Hulme in DSCH
Journal No. 11).
The programme note for the Royal Festival Hall performance by the
Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Yevgeni Mravinsky, in the
presence of the composer, on 23 September 1960—incorrectly announced
as the first UK public performance—listed the movements as ‘Adagio,
March Militaire, Allegro non troppo, Passacaglia, and Largo’.
The second movement quotes the Scherzo theme of the ‘Original’ Suite
for Jazz Orchestra No. 2, Sans op. G(i).
See the essay by David Haas ‘Shostakovich’s Eighth—C minor against
the grain’ in Bartlett (2000).
Zachary Cairns explores the links between the Eighth and Seventh
Symphonies in DSCH Journal No. 27. The useful Appendix consists of five
movement-by-movement full page form charts.

Note: Robert Matthew-Walker reports that the late 1950s Beethoven Quartet
Supraphon recording appears not to be the Melodiya performance as the
Czech version alone contains ‘noises off’ in bar 14 of the Finale. The unsigned
Supraphon sleeve note states that the first movement forms the prelude to a
musical fairy-tale about a man of noble character and his rich emotional life.

Note: The English title of the film frequently appears in the plural. Fadeyev’s
novel The Young Guard is about Oleg Koshevoi, the commissar of the youth
resistance organization, who, along with two other male and two female
Young Guards, was tortured and murdered by the Nazis in 1943. This book
O PUS 76: PIROGOV 297
was an instant success on its publication in 1945 but was pronounced to

be ideologically harmful and officially condemned in 1948. The author had
allegedly failed to point out the role of the Communist Party in organizing
underground activities. Fadeyev was hurt by this accusation—Stalin was his
idol—but acknowledged his ‘errors’ and spent almost four years ‘correcting’
the novel. By 1956 he had become an alcoholic and, after Stalin’s denounce-
ment, he shot himself.

Notes: Many of the above recordings, from early LP days—even a number of
Melodiya issues—to the latest CD releases, are labelled as Opus 99.
In the original version the solo violin immediately launches into the
Burlesque. At rehearsals, a week before the première, David Oistrakh
requested a short break after the physical effort required by the Cadenza
in order to restore circulation in his right arm. Shostakovich rewrote a new
beginning of the finale which he made an orchestral tutti. The original
autograph was not destroyed as the composer hoped that one day it would
be possible for the soloist to perform his first version.

types of fruit trees and berry bushes by hybridisation. He founded a horti-
cultural institute in Kozlov and the town was renamed Michurinsk in his

Note: Suite No. 5, ‘Shturm Zeyelovskikh Vysot’, has been translated as ‘The
storming of Zeyelov Heights’, ‘Attack on Zeyelovsky Heights’, and ‘Attack
on Zeeloubky Height’. Seelow is 30 miles due east of Berlin and was the
scene of a ferocious battle. Before dawn on 16 April 1945 General Zhukov
directed batteries of searchlights to blind the Germans and to light their posi-
tions but the attack foundered in the smoke and glare. On the next day six
armies, including two of tanks, failed to advance. Two inroads were made
on the 18th but with no breakthrough. Stalin then ordered Zhukov to reach
Berlin by the north of the Heights. A monument commemorates the battle.

Notes: The Scherzo (No. 4 in the Suite) was later arranged for piano duo and
appears as the first piece of Tarantella and Prelude, Sans op. O(ii).
On the 1955 full score of the Suite and in Sadovnikov’s Catalogue of 1965,
No. 5 is given as ‘Shturm Krasnoi Gorki’ which translates as ‘The Assault on
the Red Hill’. In Malcolm MacDonald’s Catalogue of 1977 No. 5 is listed
as ‘Easter Attack’. Robert Matthew-Walker obtained a copy of the Muzgiz
score on loan from Boosey & Hawkes and describes but does not name the
minature ‘Piano Concerto’ in the April 1980 issue of Music and Musicians.
The English title ‘The Assault on Beautiful Gorky’ materialized as a transla-
tion sometime before the 1982 publication of the first edition of this Cata-
logue and was repeated in Matthew-Walker’s sleeve note for Alekseyev’s 1983
LP recording and his programme booklet for the 1984 British première.
While close literally—the Russian Cyrillic words for ‘beautiful’ and ‘red’ and
‘Gorky’ and ‘hill’ are similar—it was wrong in its historical context as the
industrial city of Nizhni-Novgorod was not renamed in honour of Maxim
Gorky until 1932 and the piece refers to an attack on a Fortress of the White
Guards on a hill outside Petrograd known as the Red Hill. The 1985 second
edition of MacDonald’s Catalogue also gives the ‘Gorky’ label yet the French
version of 1988 correctly has ‘L’assaut de la Colline Rouge’! The conductor
Adriano adopted the ‘Red Hill’ title for his Marco Polo recording of March
2000. (see Hulme in DSCH Journal No. 19). Incidentally, this piece is
O PUS 9 0 : T HE SU N SHINES OV ER OUR MOT H ERL AN D 355
frequently listed, rather misleadingly, as a mini-piano concerto (i.e. a full-

blown concerto for a small piano?).
Reference: Hulme (in DSCH 19).
Opus 90: The Sun Shines over Our Motherland

Form: Patriotic cantata for boys’ choir, mixed chorus, and orchestra (with
2 harps and additional brass) to a text of Yevgeni Dolmatovsky, marked
‘Moderato con moto’. The original title was ‘Cantata about the Party’.
Earlier working sketches to different texts of Yevgeni Dolmatovsky were
titled ‘The Standard-bearers of the Twentieth Century’ (for men’s chorus)
and ‘Won in Persistent Struggles’ (for mixed chorus).
4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ additional band of 3 trumpets and
3 trombones ~ timpani, triangle, side drum, cymbals, gong ~ glockenspiel,
2 harps ~ boys’ choir, S.A.T.B. chorus ~ strings.
Composed: Completed on 29 October 1952.
Première: 6 November 1952, Moscow Conservatory Bolshoi Hall; Moscow

Notes: Elizabeth Wilson (1994, pp. 256–7 and 261–2) relates Tatyana
Nikolayeva’s conviction that the symphony was composed in 1951 ‘parallel
to the creation of the Preludes and Fugues’, Opus 87.
David Fanning’s major study of the Tenth Symphony, The Breath of the
Symphonist, was published by the Royal Musical Association, London, 1988.
This 94-page book gives an almost bar-by-bar analysis of the symphony,
illustrated with 60 music examples.
The origin of the enigmatic feature of the third movement—the horn

call that occurs twelve times—was revealed by Nelly Kravetzina’s Michigan
University lecture on 28 January 1994 and circulated in DSCH Journal
No. 1 (summer 1994), 24–25. The motif is the encoded name of Elmira
Nazirova who, at the time of the writing of the symphony, was a 25-year-old
composer from Azerdaidzhan and an object of his affection. The first and
last letters of Elmira are the notes E and A and the middle letters in Tonic
Sol-fa notation are ‘l’ (= note A), ‘mi’ (= note E), and ‘r’ (= note D) giving
the horn motif EAEDA.
Elmira Nazirova contributed her story to the compilation Shostakovich in
Context (Rosamund Bartlett ed., Oxford University Press, New York, 2000)
and her photograph appears in an article by Aida N. Huseynova in DSCH
Journal No. 17 (July 2002), 38–40.

Opus 95: Song of the Great Rivers

Form: Title in German Das Lied der Ströme = The Song of the Rivers. Music for
the 90-minute black-and-white documentary film Song of the Great Rivers,
(alternatively known as Unity and Seven Rivers) directed by the Dutch direc-
tor Joris Ivens, for the then East German DEFA Studios. The score includes
a Waltz and two songs: ‘Peaceful Labour’ (or ‘Poem about Work’), with
words by Semyon Kirsanov, for S.A.A.T.B.B. chorus and orchestra; and
‘Song of Unity’ (also known as ‘Song of the Great Rivers’ or ‘Song of the
Working People’), with the German verses of Bertolt Brecht translated by
S. Kirsanov, for solo bass, S.A.T.B. chorus, and orchestra. The incomplete
manuscript score, orchestral and choral parts stored at the Music Library
of the USSR Cinematography Symphony Orchestra consists of three
orchestral items depicting the Atom Bomb (using material from the Eighth
Symphony, Opus 65) and the following numbers:
Cover [Introduction]—Allegro
1. Song of the Great Rivers (‘The great Nile—our benefactor’)—Allegro
non troppo
2. Prologue (Poem about Work)
3. The Indictment Episode—Adagio

6. South Africa—Allegro

1 The title page of the First Edition of 1982 using the striking image of Dmitri
Shostakovich by artist Konstantin Vasiliev, who was born in 1942 in Nazi-
occupied Maikop. When peace returned to the USSR the family moved to the
Volga-bank village of Vasilyeva. Vasiliev studied painting in the Repin School,
Moscow, then near home at the Kazan Art School. He has painted an impres-
sive cycle of Russian heroes and drawings of the composers Chopin, Mozart,
Bach, Liszt, Skyrabin, Rimsky-Korsakov, and—Shostakovich.
2 Extracts from two query sheets with replies written and typed by the composLet-
ter from Shostakovich dated 7 December 1974 with his DSCH motto requested in
a letter dated 24 November 1974. This particular version has been reproduced as
a heading on DSCH Journal and Association Internationale ‘Dimitri Chostakovitch’
circulars, in an October 1991 Classic CD magazine feature, in Sofia Moshevich’s
Dmitri Shostakovich|—Pianist, on a commemorative mug on sale at a Shostak-
ovich Weekend at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire in October 1992, and elsewhere.
The composer’s printed name on the reverse side of an envelope is noteworthy for
his spelling of his signature in a hybrid German/English and Cyrillic languages.
3 Extracts from two query sheets with replies written and typed by the com-
poser, accompanying a letter dated 19 August 1974. Note the composer’s use
of the word ‘Obrabotki’ (Cultivation) to mean ‘adaptation’ for Opus 104; the
Quartet No. 15, Opus 144, given the key of E minor; and the title Oath to Stalin,
Sans op. J(i), heavily crossed out.
4 A six kopeck dark blue Shostakovich commemorative stamp designed by
V. Koval issued on birth date 25 September 1976. It shows part of the first move-
ment of the Leningrad Symphony and the towers of the Peter and Paul Fortress
outlined by searchlights.

Shostakovich, autographed on 3 April 1987. Note his own Cyrillic signature
transliterated M. Vainberg and Anglicized name M. Weinberg on the score. For

Notes: The Cyrillic word O¼pa¼oÍÅÃ (Obrabotaki) meaning Cultivation,
used as a title for Opus 104 in earlier editions of this catalogue, was given
in the composer’s typed list of December 1974. It is now obvious that
Shostakovich intended this to mean the ‘working up’ or ‘processing’ of the
two traditional folksongs, not as a title for a projected cycle of working songs
relating to country culture.
No. 1 is ‘a drawn-out song from the Kuibyshev Region’ and No. 2, a
roundelay performed in patter from the Novgorod Region. The latter’s
tempo suggests a comic song in spite of the vivid description of domestic
violence. See the article ‘The Title of Opus 104: A Mystery Solved’ by
D. C. Hulme in DSCH Journal No. 26.

Notes: The Russian title translates as ‘The Bird-cherry District of Moscow’.

Originally titled Cheryomushki and then New Tenants. The film Opus 105a
was named Song over Moscow in America, and Cherry Town on the UK
DVD. The English title given as Cheryomushki, Moscow in Volumes 24 and
25 of Collected Works. It was retitled Cheryomushki 1958 for the British stage
première and during its run shortened to Cheryomushki while Opera North
used Paradise Moscow in spring 2001. The name of the Cheryomushki
District was changed to Brezhnev District after the Soviet leader’s death in
1982 but restored to its original name in January 1988.
See the article ‘Not a cherry tree in sight’ by Gerard McBurney in
Tempo No. 190 (Sept. 1994) and BBC Music, Apr. 1995 and his detailed
contribution—the chapter ‘Fried Chicken in the Bird-Cherry Trees’ with
26 music examples—to Laurel Fay’s Shostakovich and His World, (Laurel
E. Fay ed., Princeton University Press, 2004, 227–73).
The cherry tree, translated incorrectly as ‘cherrybird tree’ (sic) in the
booklet with Rostropovich’s compact disc set, is the wild Bird Cherry
(Prunus padus Linnaeus). This northern tree grows naturally in the Moscow
district and is not the ornamental Japanese Flowering Cherry which was
planted to beautify the new housing estate (see D. C. Hulme’s letter in
Gramophone, May 1998).
In Act 2 Scene 3 the ‘Airborne forces’ of previous editions is a possible
translation of ‘Vozdushnyi desant’ though Gerard McBurney suggests
‘Aerial descent’ would be more appropriate for the unauthorised entry of the
flats by means of a building-site crane.
Opus 106: Khovanshchina (Mussorgsky)

Form: Reorchestration of Modest Mussorgsky’s five-act opera Khovanshchina of
1886 for a colour film version, with scenario by Anna Abramova, Dmitri

alternative endings to the final scene.
Instrumentation: 3 flutes (III = piccolo), 3 oboes (III = cor anglais), 3 clarinets

Notes: The quartet was written down in three days while convalescing in a
ministerial guest-house at Gohrisch (not Gorlitz as given in some accounts),
a spa town in ‘Saxon Switzerland’ SE of Dresden, near the Czech border.
The publishers, Edition Peters, commissioned an orchestration from
Rudolf Barshai shortly after its première in 1960. Barshai in the booklet
accompanying his 1989 Berlin recording on Deutsche Grammophon 429
229-2GH wrote that he sought the composer’s approval. Shostakovich
was pleased with the finished score and suggested naming it ‘Chamber
Symphony’.

Notes: See the essay ‘Mussorgsky and Shostakovich’ by Laurel E. Fay in
Malcolm H. Brown’s Mussorgsky: In Memoriam, 1881–1981.
Nesterenko spoke to Shostakovich in the spring of 1975 about the dif-
ficulties that faced singers performing this vocal cycle. Mussorgsky intended
to write a two-part album, but wrote only three songs for a medium voice in
the first part—‘Lullaby’, ‘Serenade’, and ‘Trepak’—and one, ‘The Warrior
Captain’ for high voice in the second part. A mezzo-soprano copes with the
high tessitura in the last song with some difficulty. It is possible to transpose
the first three a tone lower to suit a bass or contralto with little change to
the instrumentation but then the score of the fourth cannot be transposed
without altering the instrumentation. Shostakovich agreed he would adapt
‘The Warrior Captain’ to suit a medium voice but unfortunately he was not
O PU S 113: SYMP HONY NO. 13 IN B FL AT MIN OR 459
destined to make the change. (Nesterenko, Thoughts About My Profession,

Iskusstvo, Moscow, 1984).
Opus 113: Symphony No. 13 in B flat minor

Form: Symphony, subtitled Babi Yar, for bass soloist, bass choir, and full
orchestra (with 2–4 harps and piano), to settings of Yevgeni Yevtushenko’s
poems, in five movements:
1. Babi Yar—Adagio
2. Humour—Allegretto
3. In the Store—Adagio attacca
4. Fears—Largo attacca
5. A Career—Allegretto
Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 3 oboes (III = cor anglais), 3 clarinets
(B flat and A; III = E flat and bass), 3 bassoons (III = contrabassoon) ~
4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ timpani, triangle, castanets,
wood block, tambourine, side drum, whip, cymbals, bass drum, gong ~
bass soloist, choir of 40–100 bass voices ~ 1st violins (16–20), 2nd violins
(14–18), violas (12–16), double-basses (10–14 five-string specified).
Composed: The piano and full scores of Babi Yar completed on 27 March
and 21 April 1962 respectively. Originally intended as a one-movement
symphonic poem. Subsequently four more movements were written and
these were dated 5, 9, 16, and 20 July 1962. The poem ‘Babi Yar’ was pub-
lished in Literaturnaya gazeta, 19 September 1961. Nos. 2, 3, and 5 were
selected by the composer from Yevtushenko’s collection A Wave of the Hand
published in Moscow in early 1962. ‘Fears’ was specially written at the
composer’s request and published in Komsomolskaya pravda, 21 November
1962. Revision of the first movement Babi Yar (two four-line passages of
the original text changed) in January 1963.

Notes: The melodies of two Burns’ settings from Opus 62 appear in this
symphony. The theme of ‘O, Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast’ is quoted at
fig. 13 in the first movement. For the significance of this quotation in the
‘Anne Frank episode’ see Shostakovich Reconsidered, 603–04. The music of
‘Macpherson before his Execution’ is used fittingly between figs 51 and 62
in the second movement, when Humour breaks into a dashing dance and
goes to his execution as a political prisoner.
The difficulties experienced prior to the première of the Thirteenth
Symphony are expounded in the article ‘Kondrashin on Shostakovich’ in
DSCH Newsletter XVIII and Yevgeni Yevtushenko writes twelve pages on
‘Babi Yar—the Most Dangerous Symphony’ in DSCH Journal No. 15.
Galina Vishnevskaya throws new light on this symphony in her 1985 book
Galina: A Russian Story.

Notes: The score carries the following ‘Composer’s Note.’ ‘The director
of any opera house intending to produce the opera Katerina Izmailova
should bear in mind the following: No cuts whatever are permitted. There
are in the opera a number of episodes where the soloists, chorus, and the
banda perform backstage. The volume of sound should be so regulated
that they are well heard in the auditorium. Mutes are not applied to the
double-basses, so where all the string parts are marked con sord., but the
double-bass part has no such markings, this should not be regarded as a
misprint.’
The oddly-named brass band featured in the 1962 première was formed
by a Kirkcaldy jute and linoleum company in 1902 and performed success-
fully until the plant closed in the mid-1960s.

Archives by Olga Digonskaya. Composed: Late August 1961 to 3rd or 4th
week of June 1962. In a letter to Isaak Glikman dated 18 November 1961 the
composer wrote that he had ‘finished the Ninth Quartet, but was very dissatis-
fied with it so in an excess of healthy self-criticism I burnt it in the stove’. This,
however, does not refer to the Unfinished Quartet but a first stab at writing the
‘real’ Ninth Quartet, Op. 117.

(II) CANTATA
Antiformalist Rayok
Form: A satirical semi-staged cantata based on the notorious Conference of

Musicians at the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party in
Moscow, January 1948 and its Decree of 10 February 1948. The score, for
four bass singers, a small mixed chorus of musical activists (required mainly
for laughter and applause) and piano, uses the original text of speeches by
Stalin, Andrei Zhdanov, and his successor, Dmitri Shepilov, in the libretto
by the composer (not Lev Lebedinsky as claimed in a Tempo article). The
composer states that the cast may be reduced to one versatile artist, taking
the part of the chorus and all four roles in appropriate voices. The melodies
of the popular songs ‘Suliko’, ‘Kamarinskaya’ and ‘Kalinka’ are introduced.
The added finale quotes music from Jean-Robert Planquette’s operetta Les
cloches de Corneville (1877).
Composed: The first part before the appearance of Troikin written secretly in
May 1948, with a continuation in 1957 after the Second Congress of Musi-
cians at which Zhdanov’s successor, Dmitri Shepilov, presided. Originally
the score purposefully remained incomplete at the 24th bar after fig. 33.
A finale, composed between 1965 and 1968, was discovered by Veniamin
Basner in May 1989.

Notes: The composer provided a subtitle: ‘As an aid to students: the struggle
of the realistic and formalistic directions in music’. Labelled as ‘Learner’s
Manual’ on the world première recording and titled ‘The Antiformalistic
Gods’ in Soviet Weekly, No. 2495, 16 December 1989 (the latter modified
to Antiformalist Gallery for the UK première). An alternative translation of
the Russian title is Little Eden or Little Paradise; also used colloquially to
refer to the topmost gallery in a theatre—‘the gods’ (UK) or ‘peanut gallery’
(USA).
Stalin’s favourite song, the Georgian folksong ‘Suliko’, here used in its
original form was also obliquely parodied in the finale of the first Cello
Concerto Opus 107 (Fay 2000, 212–13 and Wilson 2007, 133)
A review of the première is published in DSCH Newsletter XI and for
comments on the work by Irina Shostakovich see the following issue. Lev
N. Lebedinsky contributes ‘The Origin of Shostakovich’s Rayok’ to Tempo
No. 173 (June 1990) and Manashir Yakubov adds further information in
Bartlett (2000).

Note: Originally titled Six Romances on Verses by English Poets. Scottish friends
of the compiler have objected strongly to Robert Burns being dubbed an
English poet so, therefore, the name ‘British’ has been substituted in the
title of the song cycles Opp. 62/140 and Sans op. M. The title is given
as Six Romances on Verses of W. Raleigh, R. Burns, and W. Shakespeare
in some Russian lists and in the Collected Works Volume 31. See also
Opus 62.

Notes: Shostakovich called the musical images in the first movement ‘a kind of
toyshop’ and the puzzling quotation from Rossini’s William Tell Overture,
according to the composer’s explanation, is of a toy soldier strutting to the
strains of the simplest tune he is able to play. Kurt Sanderling in an inter-
view with Robert Maycock said, ‘He never liked to talk about his works:
It was impossible to talk with him about the Fifteenth. But I sat with him
at the Berlin première of this symphony and I told him that I thought the
O PUS 142: QU A RTET NO. 14 IN F SH ARP MAJ OR 543
first movement was tragic unlike most people’. ‘You are not wrong,’ he said,
‘It is tragic marionette-like: we are all marionettes.’ (Classical Music Weekly,
29 Oct. 1977).
See the article ‘An orchestral toyshop’ by Philip Clark in Gramophone
January 2008 issue. Fifteen versions recorded between 1974 and 2006
are discussed. Two stand out; the old favourite Haitink’s of 1978 is top
notch though the reviewer considered the latest, Maksim Shostakovich’s on
Supraphon, the first choice. A full-page photograph of composer and son at
the 1972 Moscow première is shown on page XX.

Note: In March 1974 the compiler thanked Dmitri Shostakovich for the
pleasure his music had given over many years. Two sheets of queries on his
lesser-known compositions were included with the letter. He replied five
months later, apologizing for the delay on account of serious illness and
expressing appreciation for the interest in his music. He added details of his
latest works Opuses 141 to 145 (see Plate 3). All his treasured comments
were incorporated in the First Edition. As the Fitzwilliam Quartet had
presented the British premières of the 13th and 14th string quartets, the
news of a No. 15 was passed on to their violist, Alan George. Mr George
immediately wrote to the composer for the parts of his new quartet and
these were received in late December. When the compiler met Alan George
at a 1977 performance of the Quartet No. 12 in Edinburgh he remarked
that the quartet members were rather shaken when the music arrived with
its six Adagio movements, not in E minor but in the difficult key of E flat
minor!
This proved to be Shostakovich’s last quartet. Regrettably he did not live
to complete his projected cycle of twenty-four quartets in different keys as
intimated to members of the Beethoven Quartet in May 1960. The nine
not written were in the major keys of B and E and the minor keys A, B, D,
E, G, C sharp and G sharp.
Opus 145: Suite on Verses of Michelangelo

Form: Song cycle for bass voice and piano. Settings of eleven poems by
Michelangelo Buonarroti, the original Italian translated into the Russian

Verses chosen by the composer from a book Michelangelo—Life and Works,
compiled by V. Grashchenkov and published by Iskusstvo, Moscow, 1964.

1. Truth (Sonnet 3 to Pope Julius II)—Adagio
2. Morning (Sonnet 20)—Allegretto
3. Love (Sonnet 25)—Allegretto

5. Anger (Sonnet 4 on Rome in the Pontificate of Julius II)—Allegro
non troppo [attacca not marked in the score]
6. Dante (Sonnet 1 on Dante Alighieri)—Moderato attacca
7. To the Exile (Sonnet 2 on Dante Alighieri)—Largo
8. Creativity (Sonnet 61 on the death of Vittoria Colonna)

Notes: When Nesterenko and Shenderovich rehearsed Opus 146, in the
composer’s presence, he asked the pianist when performing ‘The Cockroach’
to turn over the sheet music as though they were starting from the begin-
ning again. Shostakovich explained that in Dostoyevsky’s novel, the buffoon
Lebyadyin made a hash of his vocal by getting out of time. Turning to the
accompanist he says, ‘Start again, please’. The pianist plays the introduc-
tion again but this time Lebyadkin now sings in a higher register! This
greatly amused the composer and he asked Nesterenko and Shenderovich
‘to do this trick’ and ‘naturally, we complied—as we always do now—
with Shostakovich’s request’. Books and Art in the USSR, VAAP Moscow,
No. 1/40, 1984.

Appendix I
COLLECTIONS OF SHOSTAKOVICH’S MUSIC,
ARRANGEMENTS, AND MUSIC PUBLISHERS
Several collections of Shostakovich’s music have been published. These include

the album Waltzes from Film Music by Sovetskii kompozitor in 1959, compris-
ing full scores of eight waltzes from Opp. 45, 30, 78, 76, 97, 99, 95, and 37.
A three-volume Soviet edition Compositions for fortepiano appeared separately in
1966, 1968, and 1969. The volume entitled Vocal Compositions has been pub-
lished with recent additions from time to time by Muzyka; the 1974 issue con-
taining the song cycles Opp. 46, 62, 79, 91, 98, 100, 109, and 143. The string
quartets Nos. 1 to 8 were published in two volumes by Muzyka, Nos. 30858-59
(size 21 cm.) in 1964; by Edwin F. Kalmus, Nos. 429 and 430 (18 cm.), and
in the Edition Peters, Nos. 5728a and b (19 cm.) in the 1970s. Hans Sikorski
issued study scores (21 cm.) of the fifteen quartets in five volumes between 1978
and 1981 (No. 2265 covers 1–4; 2266, 5–8; 2267, 9 and 10; 2268, 11 and
12; 2209, 13–15). Excerpts from Symphonies Nos. 1, 5, and 7, transcribed for
piano solo by Ludwig Flato, were published by Leeds Music in 1946.
Frederick Block arranged and edited various pre-1938 items for a
Contemporary Masterpieces: Album No. 19 in 1947. This collection was reissued as
Shostakovich: Nine Pieces for Piano and published by Edward B. Marks, New York
(No. 11668-68 et al, 1951–57, 30 cm.). The pieces are the first movement from
the First Symphony; Russian Dance and Polka from The Golden Age; Prelude,
Opus 34 No. 4; the Scherzo of the Fifth Symphony; three extracts from Lady Mac-
beth of Mtsensk District—Dance (commencing at fig. 384), Interlude (fig. 113),
and Grotesque Scene (fig. 434); and Marche Sarcastique from Hamlet, Opus 32.
A selection of eight pieces from ballet, operetta, and film scores, arranged
by Dénes Agay under the title Melodic Moments, appeared in 1969. Orchestral
studies for flute (excerpts from Symphonies Nos. 1–3 and 5–9), edited by John
Wummer, was published by Leeds Music in 1949 (31 cm). Orchestral studies
for clarinet, edited by H. Roscher, was published by Friedrich Hofmeister
565
566 A PPE ND IX I
of Leipzig; and another compilation by A. A. Aleksandrov was published by

Muzyka in 1964 (29 cm.). Trumpet studies compiled by H. Krumpfer from
Shostakovich compositions appear in Hofmeister, Volume 10.
Levon Atovmyan accomplished sterling work in assembling suites from
Shostakovich’s film scores, re-orchestrating numbers, extending and rounding
off fragments where necessary for concert performance, with the full approval of
the composer. These suites are fully detailed under the original opus numbers.
He compiled a volume of 24 songs from film scores, arranged for voice(s) and
chorus with piano accompaniment, published by Sovetskii kompozitor (No. 519,
1958, 29 cm.) and several collections of ‘not difficult pieces’ for pianoforte being
simplified reductions of film and ballet numbers; these including the ballet suite
Choreographic Miniatures—21 pieces arranged as Events of a Day first appearing
in 1962 with a second edition published by Sovetskii kompozitor in 1973 (No.
2618, 29 cm.) and in the Edition Sikorski also in 1973 (No. 2202, 31.5 cm.);
and 25 pieces entitled Roundabout of Dances, incorporating Dances of the Dolls
Nos. 1–5 and 7, published by Edition Sikorski in 1970 (No. 2201, 31.5 cm.)
and G. Schirmer in 1972 (No. 1887, 30 cm.), with two piano duets added by
editor Joseph Prostakoff.
The Collected Works in 42 volumes, announced by Muzyka in 1977, was
published between 1979 and 1987. Many compositions appeared in print for
the first time. All works were collated with the composer’s manuscript. Each
cloth-bound volume contains a portrait and a facsimile page of one compo-
sition’s autograph. The distinguished editorial committee included Tikhon
Khrennikov, Rodion Shchedrin, Vasili Kukharsky, Yevgeni Svetlanov, Leonid
Sidelnikov, Konstantin Titarenko, Konstantin Fortunatov, Boris Chaikovsky,
Grigori Shneyerson (died February 1982), and Maksim Shostakovich (dropped
from the panel in 1981). Manashir Yakubov compiled much of the editorial
material and though his name appeared on proof pages in 1978 his considerable
contribution was not credited in the published volumes. Volumes 1 to 9 cover
the symphonies; 10 and 11, overtures and other orchestral works; 12 to 17, the
concertos in full score and piano reduction; 18 to 25, the operas in full and vocal
score; 26, the ballet suites; 27 and 28, theatre music; 29 and 30, the cantatas in
full and vocal score; 31 to 33, the vocal compositions; 34, choral works; 35 to
38, chamber music; 39 and 40, the pianoforte works; and 41 and 42, suites and
items for film scores.
The 1979–1987 edition of Collected Works in 42 volumes is gradually being
superseded by the New Collected Works from DSCH Publishers of Moscow.
This cloth-bound edition of the 150 volumes grouped into a fifteen genre series,
which was launched in 2000, will include over 80 works published for the first
time. The description of each work in Russian and English, plus an appended
commentary on the music, is compiled by Manashir Yakubov. The location of
autograph and/or manuscript scores with the collection stock numbers—‘fond’
APPEN DIX I 567
in Russian—are quoted (these can also be found in Erna Meskhishvili’s 1995

Catalogue). Twenty volumes have been published up to the end of 2006 and
details of these are included under the Music headings. Future volumes are men-
tioned without the year of publication stated. In addition many works are being
issued singly for performance purposes, in paperback format and lacking the
detailed commentaries. Those already available as full-size scores and separate
parts cover the sonatas and fifteen string quartets.
In addition to the New Collected Works, DSCH Publishers, from 1993
onwards, have released practical performing editions of piano and chamber
works and the fifteen quartets (separate scores and string parts). Certain of these
editions have been listed under the Music headings. A convenient up-to-date
Editions DSCH: Catalogue de vente can be obtained from Association Interna-
tionale Dimitri Chostakovitch, 19bis rue des Saints Pères, 75006 Paris, France.

Belyankin’s 60-minute film The Composer Shostakovich (1975) documentary
includes extracts from rehearsals and première performances, in the presence
of the composer, of The Nose (Rozhdestvensky), Quartet No. 15 (Taneyev
Quartet, accompanied by wintry cityscapes of Leningrad), Michelangelo Suite
(Nesterenko and Shenderovich, illustrated with examples of the poet’s paintings
and sculptures), with the finale of Symphony No. 15 (his son conducting),
interspersed with an interview in the composer’s Moscow flat. Presented by its
scenario author Oksana Dvornichenko, under the title Three Premières, at the
Glasgow ‘25 Years On’ Symposium on 27 October 2000.
The music feature in Saturday Review, shown on BBC2 TV on 27 September
1986, discussed the hotly contested authenticity of Solomon Volkov’s Testimony.
Irina Shostakovich remarked that Volkov visited them but rarely. Michael
Berkeley interviewed the author and Maksim Shostakovich. Volkov, ‘a fanatical
APPEN DIX II 573
devotee’ stated he had regular contacts with the composer over ten years and ‘he
happened to be the right person at the right time’. Maksim, since his defection,
has more or less endorsed the controversial ‘memoirs’: ‘It has opened a big inter-
est [in Shostakovich] in the Western World. Sometimes too much rumour but
the basis of the book is true . . . accurate.’
A music-theatre piece Black Sea Follies centred on the stark conflict
between Stalin and Shostakovich—the struggle between tyrant and artist—
conceived, directed, and music arranged by Stanley Silverman and written by
Paul Schmidt, was first staged on 6 August 1986 at the Lenox Arts Center,
Stockbridge, Massachusetts and brought to Playwrights Horizons, New York on
16 December 1986. The piece is for three male actors and musicians—a piano
quintet on stage, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and bass-baritone. The 60 minutes of
music of the piece’s 90 minutes includes extracts from Quartets Nos. 1, 3, 7, 8,
and 13 and the Piano Quintet; Tahiti Trot; prison camp scene and Katerina’s
aria from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District; a duet from Moscow, Cheryomushki
and songs Op. 62 Nos. 4 and 6; Op. 121 No. 2; Op. 127 No. 3, and ‘United
Nations on the March’.
In the third semi-final of the BBC TV1 Mastermind from Leicester
University, televised on 17 May 1987, an Oxfam district organizer Paul
Henderson, correctly answered (‘with no passes’) all but one of Magnus
Magnusson’s twenty questions (set by Michael Kennedy) on the speciality sub-
ject ‘The Life and Works of Shostakovich’. Instead of giving Druzhinin as the
dedicatee of the Viola Sonata the contender named Beethoven (see Op. 147).
Six years later—on 29 September 2003 (Mastermind now switched to a Man-
chester studio on BBC TV2 with John Humphrys as question master), a Radar
Design Engineer Noel Turner, also chose ‘The Life and Works of Shostako-
vitch’ (sic) as his specialist topic. Of the sixteen questions he scored eight points
with four passes (‘For which violinist were both Violin Concertos composed?’,
‘In which Crimea resort did he meet Tatyana Glivenko?’, ‘From which Dos-
toyevsky novel did he take four texts, and ‘What is unusual about the Fugue in
C major?’ After almost six years, on 3 April 2009, this subject also was chosen
by Richard Griffiths, an infirmary Security Officer. He scored eleven points
with two passes (‘What was the bombardment to silence the German guns dur-
ing the broadcast of the ‘Leningrad Symphony’ (Opus 60) called?’—Operation
Squaw) and ‘Where does the Barber find Kovalyov’s Nose (Opus 15) early one
morning?’—In a breakfast roll!).
The first of five programmes in BBC TV2’s festival, Shostakovich: A Career,
subtitled ‘The Public and Private Voice of Dmitri Shostakovich’, was screened
on 7 November 1987. In this 75-minute documentary, produced by Peter
Maniura, the public achievement and private struggle of the composer are
retold by his third wife Irina, son Maksim, and daughter Galina; poet Yevgeni
Yevtushenko, film-director Leonid Trauberg, singers Galina Vishnevskaya and
574 A PPE ND IX II
Yevgeni Nesterenko, conductors Gennadi Rozhdestvensky and Rudolf Barshai,

biographer Solomon Volkov, stage-director Yuri Lyubimov, and composers
Karen Khachaturyan and Tikhon Khrennikov. Liberally illustrated with archive
film of events and concerts including the propaganda newsreel of blockaded
Leningrad, the 1949 visit to America, the First International Tchaikovsky
Competition, and the funerals of Stalin and Shostakovich. Music examples
from Opp. 123, 4, 1, 14, 18, 43, 46, 47, 60, 62, 70, 79, 35, 90, 109, 113, 145,
and 135 with Dimiter Petkov (bass), Kathryn Harries (soprano), and Graham
Johnson (piano) performing excerpts from the song cycles.
The British Television Channel Four film Testimony, directed by Tony
Palmer, had its première at the London Film Festival, Empire Cinema, Leicester
Square on 15 November 1987. It was first screened on television on 13 January
1990. David Rudkin’s script was based on Solomon Volkov’s book of the same
title. Filmed entirely on location in the North of England (Wigan, Liverpool,
and Lake Windermere) with the principal parts of Shostakovich and Stalin
played by Ben Kingsley and Terence Rigby respectively, and the score played by
the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Rudolf Barshai. A selection
of the music from the film is included on the AVM Classic Movie Music LP,
cassette and CD 1006 issued in September 1988. The film is available on
videocassette Connoisseur CR 174 and on DVD Digital Classics DC 10010
(reviewed G June 2006).
A play An Informer’s Duty by Greg Cullen was broadcast on BBC Radio
3, 4 December 1994. Set in Leningrad 1937, it covers the official attack on
Shostakovich and the response to his desperate predicament, culminating in the
composition of the Fifth Symphony. With Jonathan Cullen as Shostakovich,
Fiona Shaw as Anna Akhmatova, and John Shrapnel as Stalin.
Overcoat, the film mentioned in the Postscript of the Third Edition
(page 582), was made by the same company as a theatrical production at the
Vancouver Playhouse in 1997 and which toured Canada in 2000. This original
show was directed by Morris Panych and Wendy Gorling. Their 90-minute
presentation was the main attraction of the late January 2004 London
International Mime Festival, the cast of 22 playing 65 characters. The music
was performed in the following order: Jazz Suite No. 1/1; Op. 35/1, 2, and 4;
Suite for Variety Orchestra/5; Op. 102/3; Suite for Variety Orchestra/2; Ballet
Suites No. 3/5, No. 1/3, No. 2/1; Op. 102/1; Ballet Suites No. 1/1, No. 2/4;

Pennsylvania. Re-released in 2005; reviewed in DSCH Journal No. 24 by John
Riley and The Gramophone March 2006 by David Fanning.
Oksana Dvornichenko’s 52-minute film of 1999 Family Album shows
moving interviews with son Maksim, daughter Galina, and third wife Irina
recollecting on the life of the composer, with Galina at the family dacha leafing
through an album of personal photographs. This film was premièred in the UK
at the Glasgow ‘25 Years On’ Symposium on 27 October 2000.
Howard Goodall’s Great Dates, shown on 6 October 2002. [A Channel 4
one-hour TV review of musical life—classical and jazz—in 1937 elucidated the
difficulties the composers Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Kurt Weill, and Richard
Strauss faced under the totalitarian regimes of Stalin and Hitler. The clips of
Shostakovich showed him playing the finale of Piano Concerto No. 1 and
composing the ‘Leningrad Symphony’, walking along a street and shaking hands
with Tikhon Khrennikov; the flogging of Sergei and the drowning scene from
the film Katerina Izmailova, and extracts from Symphony No. 5 played by the
St Petersburg Philharmonic.]
Two documentaries, produced by O. Dvornichenko (Moscow) and Helga
Landauer (New York), were premièred in the UK at the ‘Shostakovich 100’
in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London on 25 September 2006: Shostakovich—

RECORDINGS
The following data are given: country of origin (if not Britain or universal); com-
pany and manufacturer’s disc number(s); size, speed and type of reproduction
(if not 12 inch/300 mm., 331⁄3 rpm, long-playing stereophonic); performers—
soloists, orchestra, conductor et al.; date or year of performance, publication or
review date in the magazine The Gramophone (e.g. G Jan. 1998).
The key artist (e.g., the soloist in a sonata or concerto, the singer in an
orchestrated song cycle, or the conductor in a purely orchestral work) is capital-
ised to facilitate locating a particular recording.
The personnel of piano trios are named in the order of violinist, cellist, and
pianist. ‘Viola player’ is shortened, as American usage, to ‘violist’.
Multiple entries under each work are listed as near as possible to a chrono-
logical order of performance date. The date of recording refers to the original
recording if known (e.g. P Prague concert 13 Nov. 1996) with the date of issue
(e.g. I Nov. 1997). The italicised lowercase letter after the issue year of post-1971
Soviet recordings refers to the USSR quarterly record catalogue (e.g. I 1976c).
For the comprehensive listing of recordings available in Japan refer to gramophile
Kudo’s website http//develp.envi.osakafu-u.ac.jp/staff/kudo/dsch/dsch-e-html.
This is also a valuable source for track timings and the Filmography.
Developments in the delivery of digital audio (contributed by Andrew
Walton and Peter Bromley) up to the date of this issue going to press have
centered around three main factors. The first of these was the desire to move on
from the Compact Disc and offer increased audio resolution. Thus Sony, the co-
developer of the Compact Disc introduced the Super Audio CD. Using one bit
DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology, the early players were expensive and
stereo only, therefore the resultant commercial take-up was slow. SACD offered
a dual layered disc, nearly identical in size to the standard Compact Disc, but
offering the combination of PCM ‘Red Book’ audio on one layer (as experienced
577
578 A PPE ND IX III
on a regular CD) with the identical material recorded and presented in DSD
on the second.
Whilst this was being presented to the market and around the same time,
DVD-Audio emerged. The original concept of DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)
was a video and audio platform that would form the cornerstone of home
entertainment. The rush to service the video market and the conflicts of interest
that arose on the DVD-Audio working group forum meant that the launch of
this medium was both delayed and confused. Focussing on 5.1 surround sound
as its main selling point, it too offered an increase in resolution that took as its
standard, 96 kHz, 24 bit PCM (Pulse-code modulation). Sensing that surround
sound might be the more popular option, Sony followed suit and abandoned the
stereo only concept for SACD and incorporated a DSD surround component
in addition to DSD stereo and CD quality PCM audio. At the time of writ-
ing, neither format has convincingly taken hold in the market and in particular
DVD-Audio never really got off the ground. A very small number of short-lived
Shostakovich DVD-As appeared in 2003–2004 on the Naxos, Arts and the
MDG labels. On SACD, there are two cycles of the complete Shostakovich
Symphonies on SACD, available from Capriccio and Arts, while a cycle of the
complete String Quartets is under way from the Mandelring Quartet on the
Audite label.
The rise of the internet and the resultant desire to easily share and distribute
music files heralds the third factor to influence current audio trends. Large files
of Compact Disc size could not be stored and downloaded conveniently and
thus MP3, a compression algorithm with roughly one tenth of the resolution
of a standard CD, established itself as the pre-eminent format in this respect.
Conveniently sized, portable players have become hugely popular and mobile
telephones etc. double as MP3 players. With the increase in data transmis-
sion speeds, full and increased resolution downloads are gradually beginning
to appear using lossless compression algorithms. 2006 saw the first release on
the Russian RMG label of a series of inexpensive MP3 discs (MPEG Audio
Layer 3) devoted to the music of Shostakovich. Each disc, seven of which had
been released by the end of 2008, plays for between four and five hours, and
features mono and stereo recordings from the Melodiya catalogue with artists
including Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, Yevgeni Mravinsky, Svyatoslav Richter and
the Borodin Quartet.
Appendix IV
FOUR SPECIAL USSR RECORDINGS
(1) In 1967 Melodiya issued a 54-minute mono 12" LP record numbered

D020515-6, entitled Dmitri Shostakovich—Monograph, with biographical
details by Lev Danilevich and read by Pavel Massalsky. This contains uncredited
excerpts from the following eleven works:
Op. 10, First Symphony (first movement to fig. 12 ⫹ 3 bars)

Op. 103, Eleventh Symphony (second movement from fig. 28 to 44)
Op. 47, Fifth Symphony (fourth movement coda from fig. 128)
Op. 57, Piano Quintet (fourth movement complete played by the composer and
the Beethoven Quartet)

(2) A sixteen-minute telephone conversation between David Oistrakh and

the composer, taped by the violinist on 15 October 1967, concerning rehearsal
of the Second Violin Concerto, Opus 129, was released in 1976 on Melodiya
C10 06907-8. The conversation is coupled with a reissue of Oistrakh’s perfor-
mance of the concerto.
(3) Melodiya issued a Shostakovich commemorative collection of 56 records
in ten boxes over the four-year period 1977–80. Twenty-seven records cover the
579
580 A PPE ND IX IV
symphonic, choral, and film music, and the ballet suites; seventeen are devoted
to the chamber and instrumental compositions, and twelve to the two operas
and the song cycles. These are mostly reissues, many of them long-deleted
recordings, though following the defection to the West of certain conductors
and performers, several records were promptly withdrawn from the boxes and
subsequently replaced by new performances. The compiler was disinclined to
note all these substitutions and catalogues only those records contained in the
box sets in his own collection.
(4) In October 1979 Melodiya issued a box, Dmitri Shostakovich Speaks,
containing four records numbered M40 41705-12 (announced in the 1980
first quarter catalogue). The first and third records are devoted to Items 1 and
12 respectively. The playing time of the set totals 3 hrs 4 min. This collection
includes fifteen talks here listed in chronological order:

Appendix VII
ABANDONED PROJECTS AND
OBSCURE WORKS
Further information is awaited on the following compositions and productions.

Details of developments and important new recordings will be submitted to the
DSCH Journal.
Piano Sonata in B flat minor: this composition of late 1923 destroyed by the composer.
Two Fragments for Orchestra: an ‘Intermezzo’ and ‘Allegro’ were composed
in 1927. The manuscript was lost but the work was reconstructed from
memory through Yuri Nikolsky in 1946.
Battleship Potemkin: on 30 March 1930 Shostakovich declined an offer to write
an opera on this subject for the Bolshoi Theatre. [Oles Chishko wrote the
opera in 1937.]
The Carp: in the spring of 1930 an opera on the piscine subject of an underwater
society, after a short verse by Nikolai Oleinikov, was seriously considered.
The Concrete Sets: in 1931 the composer wrote that he had signed a contract for a film of
this title to be produced by Aleksandr Macheret for the Moscow Film Studios.
The Negro: an operetta of this name, with lyrics by Boris (?) Gusman and Anatoli
Mariengof, was also mentioned in 1931 as a signed contract.
New Year Madrigal: a humorous madrigal composed in December 1933 for
New Year celebrations. Volume 93 of New Collected Works will contain Two
Madrigals for tenor soloist and piano.
Mother: Mikhail Bulgarov prepared a libretto, based on Maksim Gorky’s novel, for
Shostakovich in the 1930s. [Tikhon Khrennikov filled the breach in 1957.]
Orango: an opera commissioned by the Bolshoi Theatre in the early 1930s,
about a half-man/half-ape who became the General Secretary of the Party,
was discovered by Olga Digonskaya in the Shostakovich Family Archive in
2006. The anonymous libretto and abandoned manuscript piano score of
the 1st Act was orchestrated by Gerard McBurney in 2008/09.

Ankara—Heart of Turkey: a documentary film, with scenario by Leo Arnshtam

and directed by Sergei Yutkevich, was made by the Lenfilm Studio in 1934.
The background music was from works by Shostakovich.
Twelve Preludes for String Quartet: a suite for Bassoon and String Orchestra, a
String Quartet, a Violin Concerto, various vocal works, and a ‘Dance Suite
for Jazz’ were planned in 1934 though apparently only the last-named
materialized. However, Twelve Preludes for String Quartet were composed
while writing the film score for The Girl Friends, Opus 41(ii) in late 1934
or during 1935 but a number of these are believed to have been lost with
several other works in the bombing of the Leningrad Film Studio in 1941.
According to John Riley’s notes for the première recording, Leo Arnshtam’s
claim that twelve preludes were scored ‘is probably a case of misremember-
ing (there are a few cases in his memoirs)’.
Liluli: plans were made in April 1936 to compose incidental music for Romain
Rolland’s drama.
Volochayevka Days: many fragments and episodes written in 1937 for an opera
to a libretto by N. Ya. Bersenev. See also Opus 48.
Lenin Symphony: on 15 April 1938 Shostakovich started work on a monu-
mental choral symphony dedicated to Lenin. This symphony, scored for
soloists, chorus, and orchestra, was inspired by Vladimir Mayakovsky’s
poem Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and was to have included verses from folk
poets Suleiman Stalsky and Dzhambul Dzhabayev. Progress reports were
published on 20 September and 20 November 1938 but the manuscript
was laid aside and the Sixth Symphony, Opus 54, commenced on 15 April
1939.
The Twelve Chairs: Rena Moisenko (1949) and Gerald Abraham (1943)
mentioned that Shostakovich had written an operetta in 1937 and 1940
respectively, based on the comedy by Ilya Ilf and Yevgeni Petrov. The
rough draft of this three-act operetta, with libretto by Petrov and the poet,
V. Vladimirov, was abandoned in 1938.
Lermontov: a contract was drawn up on 3 June 1938 to compose music for a
ballet on the poet’s life for Leningrad’s Kirov Ballet.
A Hero of Our Time: Vsevolod Meyerhold prepared an opera libretto, based on
Mikhail Lermontov’s short story, for Shostakovich in June 1938.
Masquerade: Shostakovich wrote on 20 November 1938 that he intended to
compose an opera on Lermontov’s drama after he had completed his ‘Lenin
Symphony’. [Aram Khachaturyan provided incidental music in 1941.]
Romance: a song for voice and piano, with lyric by Heinrich Heine, written in
1938 or 1941 but not found in the composer’s papers.
Piano Fugues: a number of fugues of the 1930s will be published in Volume 111
The People’s Poet: another projected opera, based on a Turkmenian story.
APPEN DIX VII 589
Second Symphony: Fridrikh Ermler invited Shostakovich to write music for his
film in 1940.
The Heroic Defenders of Moscow: an oratorio apparently abandoned in mid-1943
when the composer commenced work on the Eighth Symphony.
Katyushka Maslova: on 17 March 1979 Pravda reported that several rough music
sheets of a projected opera, based on Leo Tolstoy’s novel Resurrection and
drafted in Shostakovich’s thirties, were discovered by Sofya Khentova in the
archives of the Glinka Museum, Moscow. Anatoli Mariengof provided the
libretto and a contract was concluded on 14 October 1940.
Sonata for Violin and Piano: this newly discovered instrumental work of 1945
will be published in Volume 107 of New Collected Works.
Three Pieces for Orchestra: this work was written in 1947–8 and originally given
the opus number 77. It exists in manuscript form.
War and Peace: Shostakovich prepared the full score of Prokofiev’s opera music
for publication. This volume and the vocal score (by Levon Atovmyan) were
published in 1958.
Fifty Russian Folksongs: in 1959 the composer selected fifty songs from Count
Vladimir Odoyevsky’s collection of Russian folksongs with the intention of
arranging them in the manner of his Ten Russian Folksongs, Sans op. Q.
Blossoms: a one-act ballet performed at the Leningrad Malyi Opera Theatre on
20 October 1961, directed by Vladimir Varkovitsky, was based on existing
waltzes and speciality numbers of Shostakovich. The ballet was repeated
the following year at the Gorky Theatre of Opera and Ballet by Lyubov
Serebrovskaya-Gryuntal and in Sverdlovsk by E. Dorofeyev.
Children’s Quartet: in January 1962 Shostakovich wrote that he expected to
finish his ‘Ninth Quartet, a children’s quartet, about toys and playing’ in
two weeks. However, in a letter to Isaak Glikman dated 18 November 1961,
he stated that he had already burnt this manuscript. His Opus 117 Ninth
Quartet was composed in May 1964.
Directive Little Bow: Konstantin Boyarsky’s one-act ballet included in the
Leningrad Malyi Theatre of Opera and Ballet 1962 season, with The Young
Lady and the Hooligan.
And Quiet Flows the Don: in August 1964 the composer wrote that he was about
to embark upon an opera based on the third and fourth books of Mikhail
Sholokhov’s And Quiet Flows the Don while resting at a home by Lake
Balaton, Hungary. The libretto was completed by late May 1965 and a start
made on composing the music. He expected to devote ‘the whole of 1966
and even some of 1967’ to the opera.
The Zhdanov Decree: Solomon Volkov mentions an unpublished satirical vocal
work mocking the anti-formalism campaign of 1948 (Testimony, 1979, 111
and 223). The implications of this infamous conference was the inspiration
of David Pownall’s play Master Class, premièred at the Haymarket, Leicester,
590 A PPE ND IX VII
on 24 January 1983. David Bamber played Shostakovich; Peter Kelly,

Prokofiev; Timothy West, Stalin, and Jonathan Adams, Zhdanov. Décor
was by Martin John and the producer, Justin Greene. See Antiformalist
Rayok, Sans op. X(ii).
Yevgeni Onegin: music for a spectacle written in 1964 and produced by Nikolai
Akimov, premièred at the Leningrad Theatre of Drama and Comedy
in January 1965. The piano score and orchestral parts preserved at the
Leningrad (Kirov) Theatre of Opera and Ballet.
The Black Monk: Volkov states that an opera based on Anton Chekhov’s story
of 1893 was considered in the 1970s. Shostakovich intended to incorporate
Gaetano Braga’s once popular song, ‘A Maiden’s Prayer’, which plays an
important part in the story. This song, with lyric by M. Marcello (originally
Leggenda valacca for voice with cello or violin obbligato), was also arranged
as an instrumental salon piece under the name La Serenata or, in English,
‘Angel’s Serenade’. See under Sans op. X(i) with the reference to Olga
Digonskaya’s article listing the three original draft versions for the opera.
Envoys of Eternity: Boris Schwarz mentions a film score, Poslanniky vechnosty,
written in 1970, under the catalogue of works in Volume 17 of The New
Grove. This film, directed by Todor Vulfovich for Mosfilm, was released
on 29 March 1971. The score was compiled from various works of
Shostakovich.
Yelabuga Nail: a setting for bass and piano of Yevgeni Yevtushenko’s poem about
the suicide of Marina Tsvetayeva in 1941 composed, according to Isaak
Glikman, in the spring of 1971.
Crossroads: M. Mnatsakanyan, Petrozavod Musical-Dramatic Theatre, 1971. A
one-act ballet, Perekryostok, A one-act ballet using music of Shostakovich,
Handel, Bartók, and others.
St Petersburg Days: score commenced for Grigori Kozintsev’s film, based on
Nikolai Gogol’s stories, left unfinished on the director’s death in 1973.
Three Aphorisms: a ballet performed in 1974.
Torments of Conscience: Yevgeni Yevtushenko wrote the first poem for a projected
vocal symphony following his collaboration on the Thirteenth Symphony.
Sixteenth Symphony: two movements reported to have been composed in 1974-5.
See the orchestrated version of Suite on Verses of Michelangelo, Opus 145.
The Portrait: an opera on Gogol’s story started in May 1975 was completed
by Mieczysław Weinberg. The première took place in the Janáček Opera
House, Brno on 20 May 1983. The libretto was written for Shostakovich
by Aleksandr Medvedev.
Wedding Procession: a ballet prepared for the Leningrad Ballet Troupe
‘Choreographic Miniatures’ by Leonid Yakobson in 1975, based on paintings
by Marc Chagall. Restaged in 1990 by a modern dance company, the Malyi
Ballet of the Kirov Theatre.
APPEN DIX VII 591
In the Name of Life: a ballet performed to the music of Andrei Shtogarenko,

Boris Lyatoshinsky, and Shostakovich choreographed by Anatoli Shikero for
the Ukrainian Theatre of Opera and Ballet, Kiev in 1975.
Choreographic Novella: a ballet set to the music of Shostakovich, Prokofiev,
Poulenc, Tchaikovsky, Rossini, and Purcell, choreographed by Dmitri
Bryantsev and performed at the Leningrad Kirov Theatre in 1977.
The Idiot: a ballet by Valeri Panov, based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel The
Idiot of 1868–9 and staged on 15 June 1979 by the Deutsche Oper Ballet,
West Berlin, used music of Shostakovich (not specified in The Guinness
Guide to Ballet by Oleg Kerensky, Guinness Superlatives Ltd., 1981). This
three-and-a-half-hour ballet used extracts from the symphonies; Hamlet film
score, Opus 116, and several other works.
Strictly Business: choreographed by Philip Taylor for Nederlands Dans Theater
2, under the guidance of Jiří Kylián, and performed at Glasgow’s Theatre
Royal, July 1988. This lively ‘satire on yuppie efficiency and office sex’
uses a medley of music from Pink Floyd and Boys Town groups, and
Shostakovich.
Narodnaya Volya (‘The People’s Will’): an unfinished black comedy, based on a
terrorist organisation, found in the Shostakovich Archives in 2006.
In addition to the above, several minor works are preserved at the Glinka
Museum and mentioned in Meskhishbili’s 1996 Catalogue but not fully indexed
in this present volume. These include an undated ‘Galop and Lullaby’ for
orchestra (piano score and unfinished full score); an undated piece for piano
entitled ‘Chik-achi’ (rough draft autograph); the famous Russian folk song
collected by Mili Balakirev in 1860 ‘Song of the Volga Boatman’ (Ei, ukhnem!
translated in New Collected Works Catalogue as ‘Hey, Let’s Bang!’) arranged—
probably in 1929—for bass voice and large symphony orchestra (a manuscript
copy); and an undated reduction for piano four hands of the second movement,
marked ‘Andante in F sharp major’ of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 10 (two
examples—one unfinished).
In the early 1920s Shostakovich orchestrated Franz Schubert’s Funeral
March in F major and two movements from Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano
Sonatas: the Adagio cantabile of No. 8 ‘Pathetique’ Opus 13 and the first move-
ment of No. 32 Opus 111. The autographs of these three scores are preserved at
the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (TsGALI). These are scheduled
to appear in Volume 146 of New Collected Works.
The following doubtful or erroneously attributed compositions are not
indexed:
Lead Soldiers: a ballet staged by Yevgeni Vakhtangov (1883–1922) for the

Bat public cabaret, Moscow, was stated by Marc Slonim (1963) to be set
592 A PPE ND IX VII
to specially composed music of Shostakovich. The ballet was performed

around the year 1920 when the composer was only twelve years old.
Genu in Pilae: Malcolm MacDonald in the second edition of his catalogue
mentions a film score of this title composed in 1932: ‘The ascription of this
to Shostakovich is not certain, though circumstantially strong. The music
survives in a copyist’s score. The original print of the film was destroyed
on Stalin’s orders, though it has recently been restored from fragments
(which include some sound-track).’ The movements are Prelude, Fanfare,
Scene, two Dances, Intermezzo, Fugal Dance, and Postlude. The small
orchestra includes harp, celesta, piano, and balalaika. In the 1990s Malcolm
MacDonald learned that he was the victim of a practical joke (not meant
for him) in Boosey & Hawkes Hire Library, where someone constructed a
spoof work card that subsequently appeared in the Shostakovich card index.
The title means ‘A Knee in the Balls’.
Lenin in October: The Oxford Companion to Film by Liz-Anne Bawden lists this
film of 1937 (not 1934) as having a film score by Shostakovich. The music
was composed by Anatoli Nikolayevich Aleksandrov.
The Wayfarer: the second supplement of WERM incorrectly lists ‘The Song of the
Wayfarer’ from this film (score by Isaak Dunayevsky) under Shostakovich’s
name. This item is also listed as a Shostakovich work in Meyer (1980).
March of the Red Army: Andrey Olkhovsky (1955) states that a march of this
title was written in collaboration with Aram Khachaturyan. This is most
probably the joint composition submitted as a new Soviet national anthem
in 1944.
Don Quixote: this ballet, attributed to Shostakovich in Ballet Music—an Intro-
duction by Humphrey Searle (Cassell, London, 1958), has music by Nikolas
Nabokov.
War and Peace: the score for this epic film of 1967 is quoted as being by
Shostakovich in The Filmgoer’s Companion by Leslie Halliwell (MacGibbon &
Kee, London, 1970), whereas it was composed by Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov.
Still not corrected in Halliwell’s Who’s Who in the Movies (HarperCollins,
London, 13th edn. 1999).
Othello and The Golden Key. Everyman’s Dictionary of Music: ed. Sir Jack Westrup
(Dent, London, 5th edn. 1977), mentions incidental music to Shakespeare’s
Othello and a ballet The Golden Key.
Appendix VIII
DSCH—THE COMPOSER’S MONOGRAM;
COMPOSITIONS BASED ON DSCH BY OTHER
HANDS AND TRIBUTES
Shostakovich’s full name in Russian is fÇÃÍËÃÄ fÇÃÍËÃÀ½ÃÒ zocÍaÅo½ÃÒ and this

usually appears in English transliteration as Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich.
His first name is sometimes written as Dmitrii, Dmitry, or Dimitri and his
surname, Shostakovitch [EMI, alone among the major recording companies,
persisted in this surname spelling until February 1979]. The composer, when
he printed his name, used the form ‘D. Schostakovich’. When the compiler first
encountered the composer’s name in print in 1942, on the album and LP records
of Stokowski’s recording of the Fifth Symphony, it was spelt Szostakowicz—in
Polish! In the Italian language the spelling is Dimitri Sciostakovic; in French,
Chostakovitch and in German, Schostakowitsch. The last-named spelling comes
in useful in providing the composer with a musical signature.
In English musical notation we have the letters A to G (in the treble clef,
EGBDF on the lines and FACE in the spaces) and from these a limited number
of words can be concocted. The German language is more accommodating for
here we have the two additional letters ‘H’ and ‘S’. The note B flat is written
‘B’ while B natural is ‘H’ and E flat is called ‘Es’ and pronounced like the letter
‘S’. Hence the motif BACH is possible, and was used by the composer himself,
and by Brahms and Liszt (amongst others). For Shostakovich’s epigram, the
composer took his initial ‘D’ and the first three letters of his surname in a hybrid
German/English spelling (see the example on Plate 4).
Like BACH the DSCH motto does not belong to any key but is probably
more fruitful than its famous precursor. Shostakovich introduces his plaintive
motto at its original pitch in the third and fourth movements of the Tenth Sym-
phony and it is omnipresent in his Eighth Quartet. He first openly spotlighted
it in 1953, though it occurs earlier and possibly unwittingly in Lady Macbeth of
Mtsensk District pitched a perfect fourth higher with a ‘near miss’ in the Scherzo
of the First Violin Concerto of 1947.
593
594 A PPE ND IX VIII
In the Seventh Quartet his initials ‘DS’ are introduced in the very first bar
and are featured throughout this work, with DSCH occurring in bars 5 and 6
after fig. 22 at the end of the Lento, albeit disguised in the unfamiliar rhythm
of | |. The opening viola phrase of the Fifth Quartet is an anagram of the
motto. Inexplicably, the composer introduced a slurred parody of his epigram in
the third movement of the Fifteenth Symphony and humorously sets his name,
occupation, and nationality to the motto in the brief work with a long title,
Opus 123.
In July 2005, Tom Watrous of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra discov-
ered the treble clef notes D, E flat, C, and B in the first cello part of the Opus 11,
Scherzo at three bars before fig. 17. It is difficult to make out the DSCH motif
in the busy string-writing on recordings of the work and its use here in 1925 is
almost certainly unintentional.
Surprisingly in early 2009, Hilary Nicholls of Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire
noticed the notes D, E flat, C, and B appear on first violin in bars 16/17 of the
Adagio Introduction to Mozart’s C major String Quartet No. 19, KV465 (the
‘Dissonance’), of 1745.
There is a semitone between the first and second notes and the third and
fourth, a minor third between the second and third notes, while the complete
motto spans a diminished fourth. A number of Shostakovich’s compositions—
the First Cello and Second Violin Concertos, Twelfth and Thirteenth Quartets
among them—do not feature the monogram but they are saturated with its
intervals.
After Shostakovich was in trouble with the authorities in 1936, his fellow
composer Benjamin Britten composed a Festival Cantata, Opus 30, Rejoice in
the Lamb. This setting of words was written in a madhouse by the eighteenth-
century poet, Christopher Smart. The words which concern us are: ‘For the
officers of the peace are at variance with me and the watchman strikes me with
his staff. For silly fellow, silly fellow is against me.’ The Shostakovich motto is
featured prominently and the chorus takes up those four notes for the words
‘silly fellow’. It is surely more than coincidental that when Shostakovich was in
disgrace in Russia with ‘officers of the peace’, Britten should introduce this secret
message of sympathy. Did, then, Benjamin Britten discover and initiate the use
of the DSCH motto in 1943? Later, in 1968, he was to dedicate the church
parable, The Prodigal Son, Opus 81, to Shostakovich.
Many compositions based on DSCH by other hands, from Witold
Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra in 1954 and Ronald Stevenson’s monumental
Passacaglia on DSCH of eight years later to Wilfred Joseph’s Testimony: Toccata
on DSCH of 1988, along with various memorial tributes to the composer, are
mentioned below:
The Scottish composer Ronald Stevenson (born in Blackburn but likes
to be known as a Scottish composer), greatly moved by Shostakovich’s Eighth
APPEN DIX VIII 595
Quartet, Tenth Symphony and First Violin Concerto, composed a monumental

Passacaglia on DSCH. Stevenson presented a copy of his 85-minute composi-
tion to Shostakovich on 6 September during the 1962 Edinburgh Festival.
The première was given by the thirty-five-year-old composer in Cape Town on
10 December 1963. At the 1966 Aldeburgh and Cheltenham Festivals it was
performed by John Ogdon, who later recorded the work on HMV ASD 2321-2
(three sides—reviewed G Sept. 1967). The title page of the score, published
by Oxford University Press in 1967, is inscribed ‘For Dmitri Shostakovich’.
The composer’s own 1987 recording appears on the double album Altarus AIR
2-9090 (G Oct. 1968) and reissued on Compact Disc APR 5650 (two-disc set—
reviewed G June 2008). See also the article ‘Ronald Stevenson at 80’ in DSCH
Journal No. 20, 71–72 with one of the two photographs showing Shostakovich
and Stevenson together at the presentation of the score. A performance by
Raymond Clarke was issued on Marco Polo Compact Disc 8.223545 in August
1994 (G Sept. 1995). In his Second Piano Concerto (The Continents) Stevenson
includes a fugue on the combined motives of BACH and DSCH, conflicting
with Bulgarian rhythms. In 1974 the Union of Soviet Composers commissioned
Stevenson to contribute an essay and a short piano piece (again based on DSCH
by request) to the Shostakovich Festschrift to be published in 1976 in honour
of the Soviet master’s expected seventieth birthday. The title of this short work
of Stevenson’s is Recitative and Air for Shostakovich. The composer gave its first
broadcast on 25 July 1976 on BBC Radio 3. The piece appears, with twelve
others, at the end of the Sovetskii kompozitor’s commemorative volume com-
piled by Grigori Shneyerson.
Although on an altogether different plane to the tributes listed in this
section, it is worth mentioning Goddard Lieberson’s amusingly derivative
study entitled Shostakovich’s Vacation on a Collective Farm, from his collection
of ‘Piano Pieces for Advanced Children or Retarded Adults’, written in 1963.
André Previn included this item in a piano recital recorded on American
Columbia CMS 6586.
One of Malcolm Arnold’s favourite composers was Shostakovich and he
quotes the DSCH signature in the second movement funeral march of his Sixth
Symphony of 1967, preceded prophetically by the long-note crescendo shrieks
that feature in Shostakovich’s Fifteenth Quartet of 1974.
Edison Denisov, the Soviet avant-garde composer, wrote a quartet entitled
D-S-C-H in 1969. This work for clarinet, trombone, cello, and piano was played
by the Warsaw Music Workshop in their concert tour of the south of England,
15–29 October 1978. The score is published by Universal Edition.
John Rose composed a ten-minute contrapuntal Essay on DSCH for solo
piano in 1970, He has added three further works based on the DSCH motif: the
prelude of Prelude and Fugue, Opus 8 and Scherzo-Intermezzo-Toccata—both for
organ—and a String Quartet. His organ works (recorded on Cathedral Classic
Compact Disc CC 003) are published by Bardic Edition, Aylesbury; others by

Eden Music, Glasgow.
In 1973 the Glasgow Orchestra Society commissioned a composition for
full orchestra from John McLeod, the Aberdeen-born composer, clarinettist, and
conductor. The work, with the title The Shostakovich Connection, incorporates
a fanfare based on the opening theme of Shostakovich’s Twelfth Quartet,
variations on a theme from the Largo of the Fifth Symphony and closes with
eight horns whooping glissandi as the rest of the brass blast out the Russian
master’s motif. The première, conducted by the composer, was given by the
Society in the City Hall, Glasgow, on 12 December 1974 and has been broad-
cast on Radio Scotland and Radio 3. A professional orchestra—the BBC Scottish
Symphony under guest conductor Janos Furst—gave the first public perfor-
mance in the same hall on 11 January 1977. Shostakovich, in a personal letter to
John McLeod, accepted the dedication of the work just before his death.
There is frequent reference to the DSCH motto in the first of the two move-
ments of Contrasts, a work written in 1974 by David Morgan. This twenty-two-
minute study in duality, premièred in London on 2 January 1975, by the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra under Vernon Handley, is available on Lyrita SRCS 97,
coupled with Morgan’s Violin Concerto (G May 1978).
The distinguished Soviet composer Alfred Garrievich Schnittke composed
a Prelude in Memory of Shostakovich at Mark Lubotsky’s request shortly after
Shostakovich’s death. The latter half of this six-minute work involves a part for
a second violin, which the composer directs can either be prerecorded by the
soloist on tape or played off-stage behind a screen. At the point where the second
violin enters the cipher BACH is introduced and worked with the all-pervasive
DSCH. Hans Sikorski published this work in their Edition No. 2255. The piece
was first recorded on Melodiya C10 08753-4 (reissued on HMV Melodiya ASD
3547, G Aug. 1978), coupled with Shostakovich’s Violin Sonata, by Gidon
Kremer. This artist gave the British première at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on
5 March 1978. The first British broadcast was given the following day in a live
performance by Mark Lubotsky, direct from St John’s, Smith Square, London
(see Kholopova and Chigaryova, 99–101). Schnittke’s pianoforte work for six
hands, Dedication to I. Stravinsky, S. Prokofiev and D. Shostakovich, composed
in 1978, is based on three themes: the ‘Chinese March’ from Stravinsky’s
opera The Nightingale; the Humoresque Scherzo for four bassoons, Op. 12 bis
of Prokofiev; and the Polka from The Golden Age. The work is recorded on
Melodiya C10 15261-2 (reissued on BMG Melodiya Musica Non Grata Com-
pact Disc 74321 56264-2 in 1998). His 20-minute Third Quartet of 1983,
in three linked movements, is built on an opening juxtaposition of a double
cadence from Roland de Lassus’ Stabat Mater, phrases from Beethoven’s Grosse
Fugue, and the DSCH motif. It is available, played by the Britten Quartet, on
Gamut LDR Compact Disc 1008.
APPEN DIX VIII 597
Valentin Bibik’s Chamber Symphony In Memory of D. D. Shostakovich,

Opus 29, written in 1976, opens with the DSCH motto and features two
themes from Shostakovich’s Fourteenth Symphony in the fourth movement
Commodo. Limpido. The 28-minute symphony is scored for 29 instruments,
including an electric organ, with an important part for solo viola in the third
movement. Igor Blazhkov conducts a performance of this moving tribute on
Melodiya C10 10727-8.
The Fifth Symphony of Boris Tishchenko, composed in 1976 and
awarded that year’s Glinka Prize, is an impressive memorial to his teacher. The
forty-three-minute continuous work is in five sections—Prelude, Dedication,
Scherzo, Intermezzo, and Rondo—with the motif DSCH used as a basis of
thematic material. Several of Shostakovich’s themes are quoted, notably from
the Eighth and Tenth Symphonies in the Scherzo. A Soviet Radio recording,
conducted by Maksim Shostakovich, was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on 24 July
1980 and a live performance by the USSR Ministry of Culture Symphony
Orchestra under Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, recorded on 22 February 1985,
appears on Melodiya C10 25287 005 and Olympia Compact Disc OCD 213.
The symphony is analysed in a Soviet paperback by Boris Katz and the full score
(No. 766, 29 cm.) published by Sovetskii kompozitor, Leningrad, in 1980. The
record is reviewed in G Dec. 1988.
The Georgian composer Revaz Gabichvadze’s Fourth Symphony for string
orchestra, also composed in 1976, quotes DSCH in the first movement. The
movements (Prologue, Romantic Outburst, Funeral Music, Interlude, Recitative,
Pathetic Monologue, and Epilogue) of this twenty-four-minute work are played
continuously and, as their titles suggest, encapsulate the life of Shostakovich,
with the final pages movingly introducing a metronome beating away his dying
heartbeats. It has been recorded by the Chamber Orchestra of Georgia under
conductor Shavleg Shilakadze on Melodiya C10 13235-6.
Another work of 1976 utilizing the DSCH motto in its fabric, the three-
movement String Quartet of the Turkmen composer Nury Khalmamedov, was
published by Muzyka in 1978.
Other compositions entitled In Memory of D. D. Shostakovich, recorded in
the USSR, are Tigran Mansuryan’s Concerto for Cello and Orchestra composed
in 1976 and Martin Vartazaryan’s Concerto for Cello, both performed by
Karine Georgian with the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra, conducted by
David Khandzhyan, on Melodiya C10 11259-60 and C10 11381-2 respectively;
the Ukrainian composer Miroslav Skorik’s Prelude, performed by Nikolai
Suk (piano) on C10 11429-30; and Lev Abeliovich’s Vocalise, performed by
T. Pechinskaya (mezzo-soprano), and P. Nodel (violin) on C10 12705-6. The
Georgian composer Sulkan Tsintsadze’s Ninth Quartet of 1977 also dedicated
to the memory of Shostakovich, is performed by the Georgian State Quartet
on C10 13645-6. The score was published by Sovetskii kompozitor in 1984
(No. 6809, 29.5 cm).The first movement entitled ‘DSCH’ opens with the
motto and is in six continuous ‘episodes’ with the second movement, ‘Epilogue’,
marked ‘Largo’ following after a pause. Yuri Falik’s three-movement Fourth
Quartet (1976) and Gennadi Banshchikov’s Flute Sonata in four continuous
movements (1977) were both recorded in 1981, respectively by the Taneyev
Quartet and Valentin Cherenkov with the composer, and available on C10
16409-10. Though neither of these tributes quote Shostakovich themes, both
are composed in the spirit of his style and some phrases are near quotes, e.g. the
flute toys with the sul ponticello tremolando of the Violin Sonata, Opus 134.
Mieczysław Weinberg’s Twelfth Symphony, Opus 114, was recorded at a live
concert in the Moscow Conservatory Bolshoi Hall by the Central Television and
All-Union Radio Symphony Orchestra under Vladimir Fedoseyev on 12 June
1982 and released on C10 18771 002 (reissued on Russian Disc Compact Disc
RDCD 11 010 in 1994). An earlier recording of 1979, performed by the USSR
TV and Radio Symphony Orchestra under Maksim Shostakovich, appeared
on Olympia Compact Disc OCD 472 in 1994 (reviewed G Nov. 1994).
Weinberg’s masterly portrait of Shostakovich, just short of an hour’s duration,
is on the whole a lyrical four-movement symphony with many pages of intensely
deeply felt music and, though it does not quote directly from his hero’s composi-
tions, several themes, their timbre and treatment are characteristic: e.g. (a) the
first Sonata-Allegro movement commences with an aggressive three-note motif
reinforced by timpani DDA and AAD strokes punctuating passages approximat-
ing to The Execution of Stepan Razin and closing in an eloquent requiem: (b) its
themes are transformed for the brilliant Scherzo; (c) the allusion is strength-
ened in the beautiful Adagio, where the haunting melody on high strings is
intoned against a low bass-line; and (d) continuing without a pause into the
Rondo Finale’s initial childlike marimba tune, reminiscent of the ‘Immortality’
movement of Shostakovich’s Michelangelo Suite. The full score published by
Muzyka (No. 12107, 1983, 29 cm.) requires an orchestra with celesta, harp, and
marimba though the percussion is reduced to prominently featured timpani and
but two cymbal clashes. See Plate 7 for the title page.
Numerous memorial compositions written immediately following
Shostakovich’s death reflected the grief of Soviet composers. Among these must
be noted an Adagio, Opus 25 No. 1, for string orchestra by the young woman
composer, Tatyana Smirnova (written purposefully on 25 September 1975 in
Moscow) and published by Sovetskii kompozitor in Pieces for String Quartet,
Vol. 3 (No. 4643, 1978, score, 28 cm.); the monumental Second Symphony
(1976) of Voronezh composer Mikhail Nosyrev; a cantata Sun and Stone by
Lucian Prigozhin; former pupil Yuri Levitin’s Twenty-four Preludes for violin
solo (first performed by Boris Gutnikov on 26 September 1976 in the Glinka
Malyi Hall, Leningrad); an Epitaph for symphony orchestra by the Odessa
composer Yan Friedlin; three pieces for flute, cello, and piano entitled Music in
APPEN DIX VIII 599
Memory of Shostakovich by the Armenian composer Ruben Sarkisyan (performed

in Yerevan in November 1975); Third String Quartet by Arno Babadzhanyan,
also an Armenian, composed in 1975 at the Dilizhan Composers’ Retreat
where Shostakovich wrote his Eleventh Quartet, and published by Sovetskii
kompozitor in 1979 (throughout there are effects reminiscent of Shostakovich,
such as the ending with its striking on the back of the cello with a finger nail,
pizzicato glissandi, and closing in double-stopped unison Ds on the violin
and viola, finally giving way to a solitary viola D morendo); Poem of Aleksandr
Fridlender, who in his time had conducted premières of Symphonies Nos. 5, 6,
8,10, and 14 in the Urals (Poem performed in Sverdlovsk in December 1976
under conductor Valentin Kozhin); The Dowry by Mikhail Bronner, a dramatic
legend on Dmitri Kedrin’s long poern and scored for soprano, tenor, baritone,
and chamber ensemble (recording C10 13247-8 released in late 1980); and
Postludium DSCH by the Kiev composer Valentin Silvestrov, was first performed
in Britain by Jane Manning (soprano) and the Bedelian/Wilson/Immelman
Piano Trio at the Almeida Theatre Fourth Festival of Contemporary Music and
Performances, Islington, on 29 June 1984.
A separate paragraph is warranted for Yuri Levitin’s Epitaph on Words of
Anna Akhmatova, Opus 89. This thirteen-minute composition for soprano,
clarinet, and string quartet is in four continuous movements: ‘Prelude’ (opening
with a fragment from the first movement of Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony),
‘Music’ (quoting from the Eighth Symphony toccata and the clarinet theme
of the second movement of the Ninth), ‘Fugue’ (an instrumental section again
using the Tenth Symphony theme), and ‘Death of a Poet’ (closing quietly with
the clarinet melismata from the Largo of the Eighth Symphony). This mov-
ing tribute, along with two others of his—the Twenty-four Preludes, Opus
84, already mentioned and the four-minute Prelude D Es CH for organ, Opus
105, written in 1984—appears on C10 21425 005, performed by Lyudmila
Belobragina, Ivan Mozgovenko (clarinet), and the Borodin Quartet.
The Czech composer Evzhen Zamechnik’s Duet for Violin and Cello
(1975), in three movements—Moderato, Allegretto scherzando, and Lento
moderato—was performed at the second of Rozhdestventsky’s Martinů cycle
concerts on 26 April 1985.
The New Zealander Robert Burch composed a nine-minute piece Essay to
the Memory of Dmitri Shostakovich, for cello and piano, in 1975.
The news of Shostakovich’s death gave the original impulse to the composi-
tion of Finnish composer Einar Englund’s Fourth Symphony for Strings and
Percussion (1976) though the four-movement work is based not on DSCH but
the motif FEGF and the third movement entitled ‘Nostalgia’ quotes from Jean
Sibelius’s Tapiola. The 23-minute symphony, recorded a few days either side of
New Year’s Day 1981 by the youthful Espoo Chamber Orchestra under Paavo
Pohjola, is available on Finlandia FA 329.
The Czech-born Vladimir Tichy’s Cello Concerto, dedicated to the

memory of Shostakovich, was written in 1976–7 and recorded at a Prague
concert in 1980 on Panton 8110 0145 by Miroslav Petras (cello) and the Czech
Philharmonic Orchestra under Tomas Koutnik. This twenty-five-minute work,
cast in two movements (Largo and Presto), is a most impressive and worthy
tribute; saturated with Shostakovichian rhythmic patterns, melodic phrases,
and instrumental devices. The coupling work, Štepan Lucký’s Concerto for
Orchestra (1976)—conducted on the record by Vaclav Neumann—makes
extensive use of the DSCH motto.
The third movement of the Second String Quartet of the South African
composer John Joubert is subtitled ‘In Memoriam DSCH’ and the motif
appears at the close. The première of this quartet was given by the Allegri
Quartet in Birmingham on 18 February 1978. The motif appears also in his
Third Quartet.
The young Dutch composer Ed de Boer’s first orchestral piece Homage a
Dimitri Shostakovich, Opus 4, written in 1978 has been published by Donemus
of Amsterdam. This dichotomous piece (a haunting slow-moving first part,
based on the end of ‘Fantastic Dance No. 1’, followed by a lively scherzo
with prominent piano role) was originally scored for a student orchestra that
contained three horns but no bassoons. A Netherlands broadcast played by the
Amsterdam Philharmonic Orchestra under Rudolf van Dristen, timed 9' 35".
The work was featured in the 1990 ‘Prom’ season and broadcast on 29 August
and 24 December, in a slightly revised form, by the Rotterdam Philharmonic
Orchestra conducted by James Colon.
A ten-movement suite Colours, commissioned from a number of composers
including David Morgan, Robert Farnon, and Malcolm Williamson, has a
second movement by Vic Lewis subtitled ‘Tribute to Shostakovich’. This fine
piece (4' 27"), representing the colour ‘Red’, is based on the side drum bolero
rhythm of the ‘Leningrad Symphony’s’ first movement with the theme quoting
Shostakovich’s initials ‘DS’ and an added B natural. The entire suite, recorded
by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Vic Lewis, was released on RCA
PL 25123 in 1978.
Karl Frederick Miller’s seventeen-minute composition Variations on a
Theme by Shostakovich was written as his doctoral dissertation in music at the
North Texas State University and completed on 30 July 1977. The theme is
from the fourth movement (after fig. 120) of the Fifteenth Symphony and
scored for 3 flutes, 3 oboes, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 C trumpets,
3 trombones, harp, harpsichord, piano, percussion, and strings. The work,
‘intended to be something of an orchestral requiem’, has many allusions to
Shostakovich in terms of gesture, orchestration, and harmonic structure.
Another important work, though not resorting to quotations from
Shostakovich compositions, should be mentioned on account of the circumstances
APPEN DIX VIII 601
of its creation. The Finnish composer Pehr Henrik Nordgren was so shocked
and moved on reading the tragic events of Shostakovich’s life in Volkov’s
Memoirs, that he concluded his two-movement Second Viola Concerto of 1979
with a lamenting slow movement dedicated to Shostakovich’s memory and
entitled Testimony.
The young Australian clarinettist/composer Antony Wheeler wrote a
slow-moving piece entitled Movement for String Orchestra: In Memoriam Dmitri
Shostakovich in 1981.
Sofya Khentova mentions further compositions dedicated to Shostakovich in
the fourth part of her monograph (348–54). To these may be added Moscow-born
Aleksei Nikolayev’s Third Quartet written in 1981. The miniature score of this
work in five typically Shostakovichian-named movements (Prelude, Scherzo,
Fugue, Pastorale, and Finale) was published by Muzyka in 1986 (No. 13189).
The Finale movingly quotes the cello/flute passage (figs. 116–18) from the third
movement of the ‘Leningrad Symphony’, the Kuibyshev première of which
Nikolayev heard as an eleven-year-old evacuee. The work was recorded in 1982
by the Union of Soviet Composers’ Quartet on Melodiya C10 20789 004.
A quote from the Tenth Symphony appears in the North Carolina
composer Claude Baker’s The Glass Bead Game of 1982–3, premièred by the
Louisville Orchestra under Robert Bernhardt on 11 February 1983 and recorded
by the same forces on 29 September 1983 (First Edition Records LS 789).
The large symphony orchestra employs a vast and varied percussion battery
including exotic crotales, temple blocks, claves, guiro, bamboo wood chimes,
and mandoline. In the third movement, ‘Fantasia’, the work of six composers
(Dallapiccola, Schoenberg, Vaughan Williams, Shostakovich, Penderecki, and
Liszt) combine in an involved collage relating to the famous B-A-C-H motif.
The American composer, Christopher Rouse’s Symphony No. 1 of
1983—an extended single-movement Adagio—makes use of the DSCH motive.
It is recorded by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under David Zinman on
Electra/Nonesuch 9 79230-2.
Andrei Eshpai’s Symphony No. 5, composed in 1985 and dedicated to
Yevgeni Svetlanov, was recorded at a concert at Moscow Conservatory on
1 April 1986. This impressive and intensely-moving 28-minute continuous
composition quotes DSCH after a war episode based on a boisterous German
march. The performance appears on Melodiya C10 28541 006.
Nebojša Živkovč’s composition entitled Ctrax-Strah, written in 1987,
is a solo for percussion with three tape-recorded interruptions of speeches
by Shostakovich and six Russian words declaimed by the performer. The
instruments used are vibraphone, various drums, cymbals, temple blocks, and
alpine bells. The speeches are the radio announcement from besieged Leningrad
on 16 September 1941 and two excerpts from the Association of Soviet Com-
posers meeting held in the Kremlin on 2 April 1974. The six words are ‘Fear’,
‘Death’, ‘Life’, ‘Fatherland’, ‘People’, and ‘Party’. The eleven-minute work has
been published (Edition Moeck No. 5362) and recorded by the composer on
German Compact Disc Cadenza CAD D 878-8
An unusual tribute by Vladislav Uspensky entitled Dedication to Courage—a
poem for orchestra subtitled ‘In memory of the first performance of Shostakovich’s
Seventh Symphony in besieged Leningrad’—is recorded by the Leningrad
Orchestra of Old and Modern Music under Eduard Serov on Melodiya C10
24485 007 (I 1987c).
The Opus 122 of the English composer Wilfred Josephs is a four-minute
organ piece Testimony: Toccata on DSCH (in Memory of a Great Man) and
appears as the final item on a 1988 record of ‘Shostakovich’s Greatest Hits’, Trax
Classique TRXLP and CD 131, performed by Robert Munns, on the organ of
Bath Abbey.
This chapter was becoming, in the words of a second edition reviewer,
likened to train-spotting, and as the DSCH phrase continues—and will continue
in the 21st century—to be incorporated in musical compositions as a tribute to
the great Russian composer, 1988 seems a convenient year to close the listing.
Appendix IX
SPELLINGS
In most cases of words in the Cyrillic language, the compiler has returned to
the Russian source and made his own transliteration so as not to lose the advan-
tage of reversibility—hence ‘Aleksandr’ and ‘Maksim’, though two films of the
Maxim Trilogy retain this spelling of Maksim as they were so billed in the West.
Exceptions to this procedure had to be made where after continued general usage
incorrect deviations have been universally accepted and to change them would
seem disturbingly unfamiliar and affect alphabetical indexing. These include
‘Tchaikovsky’ (Pyotr, but not Andrè, or Boris). In other cases the Cyrillic letter ‘Ò’
appears as ‘ch’, apart from for the conductor Markevitch who preferred the form
‘tch’. Transliterations are useful for pronunciation purposes but annoying when
one wishes to translate libretti with the aid of a Russian dictionary. With the help
of the middle column of the chart it is possible to transliterate with fair accuracy
to the original Russian.
Since 1991 the Ukrainian form of place names has been adopted, hence
‘Kiev’ changed to ‘Kyiv’. Dates prior to 1991 retain the spelling ‘Kiev’.
The World’s unrivalled authority on classical music since 1923 The
Gramophone dropped the definite article of its title from June 1969 to October
2004 but this was restored in November 2004.

About the Author
Derek Hulme was born in Manchester in 1924 but soon moved to Cheshire
and later Derbyshire where he was educated at Derby School of Art. He played
trumpet in dance bands and worked as a designer in a jet engine factory, thus
being exempt from military service (though serving in the Home Guard as an
anti-aircraft gunner). In 1963 he moved to Ross-shire with his Aberdonian wife
and three sons to start Highland Safaris, the first British wildlife tour business,
with his brother-in-law Allister Brebner.
In late 1943 he bought Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony on six long-playing

records. This album started him collecting music scores, press cuttings, and
records of the composer. He visited the Soviet Union in five consecutive years
for Melodiya records, Russian scores, and music books. He decided to compile
a list of Shostakovich's compositions but there were many opus numbers for
which no information could be found so a letter to the composer was posted.
783
784 A B O U T THE A U THOR
He kindly returned the list with the missing details added along with notes on
his latest works.
The first edition of a privately published catalogue sold quickly. With
favourable reviews and reports from Shostakovich enthusiasts and encourage-
ment from the composer's widow, a second edition was published in 1991 by
Oxford University Press.
Aberdeen University sponsored a series of music lectures, the first titled
‘Shostakovich—the Twentieth Century Beethoven’ and was followed by invi-
tations to speak at Shostakovich symposia: La Scala, Milan in 1996; Glasgow
Royal Concert Hall in 2000; and Fitzwilliam University, Cambridge in 2006.
The third edition of the Shostakovich Catalogue was published by Scarecrow
Press in 2002.
