Description

Continue the Complete Piano Works collection of Dmitrij Dmitrievi Shostakovich, one of the most influential, praised and widely performed composers of the twentieth century: his unmistakable style has left an indelible mark on the aesthetic taste of the modern listener and on the DNA of the contemporary orchestra. Considering his outstanding ease of writing and well-proven ability to compose music under all kinds of circumstances even unfavorable ones , Shostakovichs piano production for piano appears relatively small and, above all, sporadic. These pages are not less extraordinary because of that. On the contrary, many of them show a degree of ambition and depth of purpose that are not second to those of his chamber and symphonic masterpieces.
