DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH SONATA UNFINISHED FIRST EDITION

Violin and Piano

Publisher: DSCH
Voicing: Violin
Format: Softcover
Composer: Dmitri Shostakovich

In June 1945, Shostakovich began composition of what was to be a violin sonata. This unfinished work gives new insight into the composer's creative process. Includes manuscript facsimiles.

Numerous musical ideas occur in this short piece. Both themes appear in Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony, and Russian folk song forms are evident. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is called to mind, giving rise to Shostakovich's creativity and attentive ear.--American String Teacher
