i knew the DSCH from the 8th string quartet and so it was an incredible thing when I listened to the 10nth symphony for the first time in concert, where it is also used alot

This motif occurs many times in Shostakovich works: Violin Concerto No. 1, Fugue No. 15, String Quartet No. 5, String Quartet No. 6, String Quartet No. 8, Symphony No. 10, Symphony No. 15, Piano Sonata No. 2 ... and maybe some more that I don't know :)

Thank you for the detailed description which adds a lot to the experience. I had never heard of this piece, it's an exciting discovery. I'm not sure how I would feel after one hour but this excerpt is definitely an interesting composition. Thank you for sharing.

Seems like another piece heavily inspired by the Busoni FC.

Well, I don't know, it's hard to judge about the quality because the pianist seems really to struggle with this piece (not entirely illogical if you watch the score). Is there a recording by Ogdon by any chance btw?

Wikipedia says "The first broadcast was given by John Ogdon on the BBC Third Programme on 22 May 1966, and Ogdon went on to give the British public premiere at the Aldeburgh Festival on 14 June 1966. He subsequently made a recording for EMI on two LP discs." But idk where to find his recording

@@luna_zhang you know it? I first thought that this was a release only with the Shostakovitch preludes and fugues. But very interesting nevertheless, I had never heard of Stevenson before.
