[@tomazo2]

Wow. How can anyone think about happy things during this? 😂 All I can think of during this song is how sad it's going to be when I'm old and without my parents' there to ask them for advice. I think about how hard can life get for men when it's their turn to lead and be really responsible and kind of alone when their fate leads them far from home, even though they may be surrounded by friends and kids... It reminds me of solitude and silence, how one lives with the pain compared to those people whose biggest pain in life ever was that they were bitten by the mosqito once. (I'm listening in my car driving through the silent streets of the old town of Prague in the night, maybe you listened to it during a bright summer afternoon. 😅😅)

@@tomazo2you just made me re think why I want to continue living lol (I’m going to high school so I’m still basically a kid but for some reason I was thinking of stuff you wrote here) Also this is really out of topic but when you said you were in Prague it immediately made me remember that richter recording of Ravel mirroirs in Prague in 1965 😅 I know you probably don’t care but I did at least

[@erika6651]

​@@tomazo2 Such heavy things to ponder in a city where you can get donuts on a stick. Maybe listen to Vorisek instead for an outlook improvement?

[@petersimon5231]

@@tomazo2 Thinking of Prague can't be as depressing as this otherwise great work is. Prague is a favourite city of mine. Otherwise I completely agree with you even though being old is now not very depressing at all. But I can imagine it to be depressing to many: I've seen my old relatives in that state and was myself also down and almost out a few years ago. Thankfully, I didn't listen to this piece for good measure back then. Now I can take it, even appreciate it to some extent.

My dear friend had this playing at his funeral, along with a piece from Tchaikovsky, Nutcracker (Op.71, TH.14 / Act 2: No. 14c Pas de deux), and Piano Concerto No.2 (Rachmaninoff). He had a full orchestra in a cathedral, even though he wasn't religious. He likes these three Russians, as he would call them. "The golden trio." He was an exceptional young fellow, a gentleman. Always dapper, always spoke well, and read a lot too. He was 19 at the age of death, and he knew it was about to happen. Handled it very stoic. When people came around, he asked "Have they swept away the gravel?" (After winter). Or "Did the postman come as usual today?" He knew we all were in grief, but somehow I think he enjoyed it. But the funeral was splendid, he had structured the songs in a particular order, first the Piano Trio (haunting violin tragedy), then this, and lastly Piano Concerto. He made someone read from the Illiad and some own poems. One of them was: We leave nothing to this world. Our life is for ourselves. And another one about a love of his, I don't know whom: So you look out for the stars Pay attention to the birds And the oceans And hope to glimpse her there And that constant hope Becomes you very reality. He had so many friends you never thought about. It was us at his age, from school and childhood. But then there were people all around the world. Young as old. Men, women. He had a dozen people flying in from Italy that I never knew existed. And they all had such beautiful stories about him. There was a girl too, from the west coast. She loved him uncontrollably, and I knew this would never end for her. For me, the whole thing was so beautiful I wanted to die too.

The tonality of C mainor is not onvious at all from the baginning. Chostakoviych was in an experimental period, laike many of his colleagues at tht times. Unfortunately, the stalinist dictature stopped the experiment several years after. We have missed a lot.

[@mikemurray2027]

I don't agree with that. His work becomes if anything more experimental as he got older. Look at the 15th Symphony - the most experimental work he wrote.

[@phoebedraper3046]

mike murray most experimental is the first piano sonata

[@gerardbegni2806]

@@phoebedraper3046 Yes you are right, It is a pity that is is poorly known.

[@gerardbegni2806]

@@mikemurray2027 Yes, I know the 1(th symphony very well, It is quite innovative, for sure, but also in line with the a sarcastic style he developed during the Stalinist period. Symphonies 2, 3 and 4 are also experimental and wrere forbidden de facto under Stalin. Actually, he concentrated innovation mainly in his series of string quartets, ech one having of course features of its one.

[@gerardbegni2806]

@@mikemurray2027 I agree partly with you. The 15th symphony may look experimantal, altough at a surface level; its srtucture is firly tooted in classical ytaditions. This would be more true with the string quartetes, hear the beginning of th Db, for intance. But these late wi oeks are not experimental in the same way than the firrst ones. In these works, the experimentation tends to a highly personal expression without anty external connection, while the youth scores were rooted in the Russian progressist svhool itself influenced by expressionism, futurism, etc ..

@@jackattack2352 It was dedicated to his then-girlfriend, Tatiana Glivenko.

[@NorthonBruce]

@@accordingtosophia Russian book "Shostakovich in Letters and Documents" (2000), published by the State Central Museum of Musical Culture, says it in annotations to one of his letters to Yavorsky, explaining Shostakovich's vague complaints and uneasiness about one of their common acquaintances, that he, this Dmitri's selfish friend, a young composer too, of their circle, _Mikhail Quadry, stole the Trio manuscript that he was supposed to deliver to Glivenko as a present_ from Shostakovich. Then their friendship broke for several years. For a dozen of letters to Yavorsky, Dmitri can't make up his mind if he likes Quadri or despises him, and vice versa, if Quadri truly likes and respects him, or resents him too, lol. Who knows, maybe Quadri got jelaous when he learnt that the Trio is dedicated to Glivenko, as Shostakovich allegedly had promised to dedicate a Symphony to Quadri. In 1928 Quadri was arrested and shot in 1929 on trumped charges, so very little is actually known about him, and he didn't have time to write a lot of works too; and his surviving friends didn't dare to speak much either, even though they were prominent music figures like Shostakovich's close friend and a great pianist Lev Oborin.
