In chess there's a tactic known as the desperado, where you know a piece is about to be lost anyway so you use its last move to get as big of a punch in as you can. Shosty's 9 sounds like a desperado.

The humor of the piece is undeniable, but movement four is one of the most soul-crushing, desolate, and depressing things I have ever heard. Almost as if one is listening to someone die.

If you want something with the same character, I suggest the very last minutes of his 4th symphony.

[@juliee593]

He was like "I'm going to gulag for this"

[@bigbruhenergygobrr]

at that point, he knew that his insult towards the Soviet authorities was going to be exposed in the symphony. so, his pessimism and hopelessness seeped through into his 4th movement. he didn't want to die because he was worried about his family. in the end, Stalin died before Shosty did lmao. Shosty deserved better tho.
