I've now listened to this fascinating piece a couple of times. Surprisingly, when the orchestra joins the viola at the beginning, there are echoes of American composer William Schuman's Violin Concerto (the slow part of first movement of Schuman), which was written decades earlier. Probably coincidence, but striking nonetheless.

I'm beginning to think Schnittke is considerably more important than Shostakovich - I know that such comparisons are senseless - but there must be markers for aesthetic merit. I think DSCH started something and was restricted from its full pursuit that Schnittke much more than makes up for. I can't listen to the big DSCH orchestral works any more with perhaps the exception of last 3 symphonies while Schnittke continues to deliver more and more.

x_mander I think that each one was equally important, each in a special way. Shostakovich brought about a cultural and idealistic revolution with his somewhat tonal music (most of his scherzos in symphonies and his 8th string quartet depict the brutality of totalitarianism), but Schnittke helped bring in a new world of color. Just some friendly advice: listen to DSCH's 10th symphony. It, too, depicts totalitarianism, but the 3rd movement also illustrates his love for one of his students, Elmira (E La Mi Re A motif). Not that I prefer one or the other.. Both are my favorites..
