Dimitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10: Orchestra: Study Score

Shostakovich’s fifteenth symphony differs substantially in many ways from his other late symphonies. The eleventh (1957) subtitled The Year 1905 and the twelfth (1960) subtitled The Year 1917 are both programmatic symphonies relating to political and historical events within the year of which they are subtitled. The next two symphonies are sung texts with vocal and/or choral parts: thirteenth (1962) and fourteenth (1969) symphonies.With the Symphony No.15 In A Op.141 Shostakovich’s last foray in the genre the composer returned to a purely instrumental and non-programmatic composition which inhabits a purely emotional andintellectual plane quite removed from the world of politics and history.Available here is the pocket or study score of Shostakovich’s last symphony the Symphony No.15 in A Op.141. This is an excellent Sikorski edition score and is ideal for study and perusal purposes.

Shostakovich's eleventh symphony is highly programmatic a large-scale tribute to the 'victory' of the Great October Revolution of 1917 composed on the 40th anniversary of the occasion. The first of the four movements is called The Palace Square setting the sombre scene where the violent events of the day would occur and Shostakovitch includes two Russian prison songs. The second movement The Ninth of January pictures the workers' march through the streets and their slaughter. In memoriam is the title of the third movement a pensive requiem and in the last movement The Tocsin the spirit of revolt returns with militant songs and a triumphant percussive finale. This is a clear and well presented Sikorski Edition miniature score.
