Foreword to the Second Edition By Irina Shostakovich

I take particular pleasure in writing a few words to introduce this new edition. Derek Hulme has invested in this book a colossal amount of work, not from obligation or necessity, but for love of Shostakovich’s music—for his own satisfaction, as it were. This feeling is most movingly reflected in the immense and solicitous care he has lavished on every detail: nothing has been allowed to escape. This same feeling caused Mr. Hulme to study the Russian language and to make numerous visits to Leningrad and Moscow in the course of his researches. The book is in the form of a catalogue of Shostakovich’s music, greatly expanded for this new edition in comprehensiveness and circumstantial information. I hope that it will be of use, not only to scholars, publishers, and performers, but will also appeal to the ever-increasing circle of lovers of Shostakovich’s music, collectors of his recordings, all those who are interested in the personality of the man and who acknowledge a common response to the power of his music. The book tells one much about Shostakovich’s compositions, gives what amounts to a ‘biography’ of each of them, and outlines the ‘path of life’ along which they have been destined to travel through succeeding generations. The author undertook the publication of the first edition at his own expense, and in consequence it could not achieve a wide distribution. The present, second, edition has been realized by Oxford University Press—the University that honoured Shostakovich with an Honorary Doctorate during his lifetime—and will be accessible to far more people. It makes a significant contribution to the study of Shostakovich’s art, and I salute it as a tribute to his memory and heritage.

Irina Shostakovich Moscow, October 1990 vii

Conductor Mark Fitz-Gerald reconstructed the film scores of Alone (Odna) Opus 26 and The Girlfriends Opus 41(ii); a number of pieces for theatre scores Rule, Britannia! Opus 28 and Salute to Spain Opus 44; and eight bars of music to close the symphonic fragment of Shostakovich’s first draft of the Ninth Symphony Opus 70. To his left is Irina Shostakovich, who provided pre-publication copies of many scores, holding a copy of the Naxos CD of Alone, and Peter Bromley, the Production Manager of the Naxos and Marco Polo recording company. (Taken by Laurent Hili/ Naxos at the Association Internationale ‘Dimitri Chostakovitch’, Paris on 20 November 2007.) Composer Gerard McBurney made a reduction for piano trio of The Bedbug Opus 19 in a suite seven of pieces; a ten-piece arrangement Suite from the film score Alone Opus 26; orchestrated Hypothetically Murdered Opus 31a for small orchestra and pieces for Hamlet Opus 32; adaption for small mixed ensemble of Suite for Jazz Orchestra Sans op. E; completion of the orchestration of Four Romances on Poems of Pushkin Opus 46a; reconstruction of the Original Jazz Suite No. 2 Sans op. G(i); new text in English doggerel of The Silly Little Mouse Opus 56; and a major revision for small orchestra of the operetta Moscow, Cheryomushki Opus 105. Gerald is now working on the newly discovered abandoned opera Orango. (Photograph from Chicago Symphony Orchestra.)

Preface

The Vermont typesetters made a praiseworthy job of the layout of the Third Edition manuscript. However, many curious deviations (fully detailed in DSCH Journal, No. 20, January 2004, 33–34) occurred in the process of the scanning of the thousand plus photocopied typewritten ‘scissor-and-paste’ manuscript pages. Most of these typos were spotted at the proof-reading stage, though some were noticed too late for correction. In June 2004 the compiler decided to correct these errors and update the catalogue in a concise, cheaper paperback edition. With the large amount of recent research published in scholarly books and DSCH Journal, and the increase in recordings for the centenary of the composer’s birth, this proved to be impractical. The catalogue was thoroughly revised on computer. This will be the final edition in its present form. The compiler will definitely not be around for ‘The Second Hundred Years’ volume! As mentioned in the previous three versions of 1982, 1991, and 2002, the work was always intended as provisional—not as a BWV—(for J. S. Bach), Köchel—(for Mozart), Deutsch—(for Schubert), or Kirkpatrick—(for D. Scarlatti) type catalogue. This rewarding pursuit is never ending with monthly releases of new and reissued compact discs and digital versatile discs. Also, previously unknown and suspected compositions by Shostakovich continue to materialize from the DSCH offices in Moscow. It is the compiler’s ardent wish that in the next decade or so a professional musicologist will compile a definitive annotated catalogue of all known works in strict chronological order, eliminating the necessity of the temporary Sans op. listings. As the world of the genius Shostakovich continues to expand during the 21st century it will, no doubt, require a separate volume to include the recordings, videos, DVDs, and films. ix


Acknowledgments

The compiler is pleased that he was able to thank Dmitri Shostakovich for his inspired compositions before his untimely death and is indebted to his wife, Irina Antonovna, for her considerable encouragement by telephone and letter. See the top photo on page viii of the Foreword. The following individuals provided invaluable assistance in compiling the present edition of this catalogue: Kenzo Amoh (gramophile of Tokyo, Japan) Gerald Bishop (musicological statistician, of Cambridge) Peter Bromley (gramophile of Bicester, Oxfordshire) David J. Fanning (lecturer in music, Manchester University) Laurel E. Fay (writer on Shostakovich’s music, Staten Island, New York) Frank van Hoof (cellist of Vrouwenpolder, Netherlands) Theodore van Houten (biographer, Haamstede, Netherlands) Gerard McBurney (composer, London and Achanalt, Ross-shire) Don H. MacLeod (concert-goer of Sydney, Australia) Robert Matthew-Walker (musicologist of London) Alan Mercer (Editor of the DSCH Journal, Chambost-Allières, France) Lewis Owens (President, UK Shostakovich Society) W. Mark Roberts (gramophile of Montreal, Canada) John Riley (film historian, British Universities Film and Video Council) Emmanuel Utwiller (Director, Centre Chostakovitch, Paris) Andrew Walton (record producer) Manashir Abramovich Yakubov (Editor New Collected Works, DSCH Publishers, Moscow). Thanks to both Professor Aleksandr Ivashkin, whose ‘Shostakovich 100’ festival (London, September 2006) gave the compiler the idea of making xi

A C K N O WLEDG MENTS

31 December 2006 the cut-off date for this Fourth Edition of the Catalogue, and to Rob Ainsley for permission to quote his introductory note ‘Shostakovich’s Century’ in the programme which makes an apt preface to the Chronological Chart. Since 2002 Peter Bromley has continued, with the help of his many world-wide contacts in the recording industry, to post his regular ‘Bulletins’ of information on recent and historic Shostakovich releases. This contribution has considerably eased the task of selecting material for inclusion in the Recording sections. Coincidentally, his ‘Bulletins’ also reached their century in early 2007. Gerald Bishop has made an exhaustive study of the timings of different performances of Shostakovich’s works, at live concerts, on compact disc and BBC Radio Three, and tabulated the duration of each opus and their individual movements. The results have been added up and divided by the number of performances to give an interesting—and useful—average. These average times are probably of more help in planning concerts than the range of durations given in this Catalogue. As examples: the average of 157 samples of Symphony No. 5 is calculated at 46' 26" and 72 samples of String Quartet No. 8 works out at 21' 11". His detailed computer spreadsheets of Comparative Performance Times are published in the DSCH Journal No. 29, pages 46–53. Contact [email protected] for updated information. Sincere thanks to Reńee Camus and Kellie Hagan for their attentive care in seeing this complicated book through to publication. Finally, to my youngest son Nevis for suggesting and purchasing an Apple iBook laptop and to middle son Robin for his patience in showing me how to master the intricacies of this machine.

Introduction

The main section of the catalogue covers the compositions work by work. Discrepancies in the guise of earlier or incorrect numeration are noted under the Music heading. Dated works without opus numbers are allotted a provisional letter designation (e.g. Sans op. A) and inserted where appropriate. These carry no official endorsement and are used solely to facilitate indexing in this guide. Rather than slotting in certain undated and minor works in somewhat arbitrary positions, these have been assembled, for the time being, under Sans op. X. Where full information is known about a composition, details are presented under up to twelve headings: Form (sufficient for positive identification); Instrumentation (precise instrumentation of orchestral works is furnished where known. A selection of instruments not conventionally featured in symphonic writing is given below. To avoid confusion and to clarify doubling, abbreviations are not used though it should be understood that ‘horn’ refers to the French horn in F and, unless otherwise stated, ‘trumpets’ are in B flat); Composed (the occasion for which the work was written can be added in certain cases); Dedication (the dedicatee’s full name followed by a note of his or her profession or standing); Premières (first performances listed in order of date, venue and artists); Arrangements (reduction for piano(s) of orchestral compositions and accompaniments to concertos and vocal works. Suites assembled from film and stage productions by the composer and fellow musicians); Music (former opus numbers designated by the composer and errors in previous numbering are indicated); Duration (timings as specified in the printed score and/or a range taken from recordings and broadcast performances); Ballets and Films (credits given for ballets and films in addition to those based on the original score); Recordings (see Appendix III for explanation of the coverage); Notes (references to the literature and additional information).

The full history of sound recording in the Soviet Union and worldwide from 1925 to 2001 is repeated from the Third Edition and the paragraphs on the four special USSR issues, along with details of the works recorded by the composer, are retained. The entries are listed chronologically. Those that were included in the Third Edition are abbreviated by omitting coupling works of Shostakovich and/or names of other composers, and considerable pruning of reissues. Mention is made, however, of all performances reviewed in The Gramophone magazine. Recordings not listed in the Third Edition are indicated by asterisks––one * for each release if issued prior to 2001 and two ** at the start of the added section of new issues if dated after 2001. These new entries do mention couplings in square brackets as in the Third Edition.

The First Hundred Years SHOSTAKOVICH’S CENTURY

One hundred years is a long time. But not that long. Dmitri Shostakovich was a man very much of our era, uncannily able to express the fears of an age in the elusive language of music. He gave us the soundtrack to the 20th century, in all its excitement and terror, brilliance and banality, optimism and tragedy. It is a remarkable body of music. Two operas, 15 symphonies, 15 string quartets, six concertos; chamber masterpieces, major piano works; and a substantial theatre, film and functional output. There is everything from mighty, enduring concert favourites of unlimited depth, to bright throwaway theme— tunes so immediate that few prime-time listeners realise this is ‘the work of a classical composer.’ Highbrow and lowbrow; simplicity and complexity; beauty and ugliness; obvious and hidden. High spirits and, more usually, despair. Few composers have combined opposites so dramatically, or effectively. Perhaps these paradoxes are part of his remarkable appeal. We can always find a reflection of ourselves and our times in his music. Like life, wherever and whenever it is lived, that music can be uncomfortable, unpredictable, and selfcontradictory. He articulates our anxiety, our grief, our rage. Hence, perhaps, the intensity of debate that Shostakovich’s music always generates. We now know far more about the composer, his times and his music, than ever before. Yet in many ways we are only beginning to understand Shostakovich’s achievements. One hundred years is a long time. But not that long. —Rob Ainsley, [email protected]

Notes: A scholarly source-study of this ballet score by Manashir Yakubov appears in Shostakovich Studies (David Fanning ed., Cambridge University Press, 1995). The ‘general confusion’ arising from the titles of Nos. 15–17 (DSCH 1995 list) is caused when the captain of the Soviet football team lifts the ball high in the air and the Fascists throw themselves onto the ground believing it to be a bomb about to be exploded. The captain places the ball at the head of the Exhibition Director who is lying on the ground with the Fascists. The frightened and embarassed Fascists realise their mistake and gradually regain their composure.

Shostakovich composed two pieces about the game of football: No. 25 in this ballet score entitled ‘The Football Match,’ commencing with a whistle blast, in 5/4 and 4/4 time marked Allegro and a choreographic divertissement ‘Football’ in 2/4 time—a Presto galop in Russian River Opus 66.

Opus 23: Entr’acte and Finale Form: Two compositions for orchestra (including a flexatone), contributed to an epilogue entitled ‘What is modern America like?’ for Erwin Dressel’s opera Der arme Columbus (alternatively known as Armer Columbus—‘The Poor Columbus’), with libretto by Arthur Zweiniger: 1.

Opus 25: Virgin Soil Form: Incidental music to a stage play drama Soil by Arkadi Gorbenko and Nikolai Lvov. Composed: April 1930, at Leningrad. Première: 9 May 1930, Leningrad Working Youth Theatre (TRAM); directed by Mikhail Sokolovsky and Nikolai Lebedyev. Music: Manuscript lost. Recordings: — Notes: This production was not based on Mikhail Sholokhov’s novel Virgin Soil Upturned, the first part of which was published in 1932. The subject-matter—the socialist collectivization of the countryside—however, was similar. In 1932–33 Shostakovich, in conjunction with Fedodosi Rubtsov, also wrote incidental music for the four-act stage play Combative Course by A. Gorbenko, N. Lvov, and Mikhail Sokolovsky staged by TRAM. The original music is lost though a typed text is preserved in the Glinka Museum.

Opus 26: Alone Form: Music for the black-and-white sound film Alone, with screenplay (based on a true newspaper story of the suicide of a teacher named Lapshina) and direction by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg, for the Leningrad Soyuzkino Studio. A song dictated to the composer by Trauberg ‘How

beautiful life will be’ (also translated as ‘Happy Days are Coming’) provides a leitmotiv for the film. The sound-track carried music only; no human voices apart from scraps of insignificant phrases and fragments of speech introduced by chance. The orchestra is augmented by a brass band, organ, and Theremin. Reel 6 was destroyed by fire in the Leningrad Siege. The film, apart from Reel 6, was restored from several sources in the mid-1960s by Gosfilmofond. Reel 1 (Leningrad episodes) No. 4. March: The Street—Allegro No. 7. Galop: How beautiful life will be!—Allegro No. 9. Choral conclusion: Stop! Don’t go away—Andante— Andantino Reel 2 —March —Allegretto Reel 3 (The Altai region of Siberia) No. 1.

No. 5. [School-children with Kuzmina]—Adagio No. 6. Andante No. 8. Andante No. 18. Allegro Also three fragments existing in piano arrangements: ‘The Beginning’, ‘The Dream’ (later used as No. 34 in Hamlet, Opus 32), and ‘March’. The opening numbers depict a day-dreaming sequence ending with a tram taking off into the clouds. ‘Barrel-organ’ Reel 3 No. 6 is based on ‘The Dance’ (Moderato quasi Allegretto) for piano dedicated to the composer’s younger sister Zoya. The full score consists of 44 numbers: Nos. 1 to 13 and 15 to 45 (No. 14 being a recording of a Mongolian overtone singer). Five of the 44 belong to the missing Reel 6. All but five of the remaining 39 numbers are played differently on the soundtrack to those corresponding items published in Volume 41 of Collected Works. The restoration of the score was prepared initially by Theodore van Houten of the Film in Concert Foundation, Haamstede and realized by Mark Fitz-Gerald in 2003, assisted by Nic Raine who notated some fragments by ear from the soundtrack; the whole operation being supervised by Krzystof Meyer. Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, cor anglais, E flat clarinet, 2 B flat clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon ~ 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, 3 tubas ~ timpani, triangle, wood block, side drum, cymbals, bass drum, gong ~ glockenspiel, xylophone, Theremin ~ harp, organ ~ soprano and tenor soloists, S.A.T.B. chorus ~ strings. An eight-piece band is employed in Reels 1, 6, and 7; the organ in Reel 3 No. 3 and the theremin in Reel 6 No. 4. Composed: early autumn 1930 to the summer of 1931, at Leningrad.

Notes: Yelena Kuzmina is not only the name of the actress but also that of the young teacher she plays. ‘That was our realism!’ (Trauberg). Her lover was played by her husband Pyotr Sobolevsky. Restoration of the film in 2003 shows that the heroine does not die in the snow after being thrown off a sledge, as thought as late as 1996 (e.g., Meskhishvili gives the Finale of Reel 6 as ‘Death of Kuzmina’), but is rescued by villagers. For first-hand information on this film see Chapter X of Leonid Trauberg and His Films by Theodore van Houten (Art & Research/Graduate Press, s-Hertogenbosch, Buren, 1989). The original film presented a short coloursequence during the tram-ride. Trauberg reported that ‘the flowers on the tram were hand-tinted yellow, red, and blue’ and when ‘the colours changed it was such a nice, joyous effect’. See also Shostakovich and FEKS by Dr Hélène Bernatchez (Munich, 2006). Reviews of the two premières of the restored film by Henny van der Groep and John Riley are given in DSCH Journal No. 19 (July 2003), 43–45. For an understanding of the film’s story line the English titles of the six reel numbers and their cues in the booklet with the Naxos 2006 recording are a great improvement on those given in the Muzyka (1987) and DSCH Publishers (2004) scores. The solo violin plays the Andantino by Fritz Kreisler during the ‘Music from loudspeakers during telephone box scene ’. Kreisler ascribed this piece to Padre Martini and admitted that it was one of his own compositions

The ‘Komsomol Circle’ dance of Act 2 No. 4 (or No. 21 in the score) quotes from the Finale of New Babylon, Opus 18.

Premières: Ballet: 8 April 1931, Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet (Kirov Theatre), Leningrad; Aleksandr Gauk. NB.

The Budyonny Mounted Army, featured in Act 3 of the ballet, named after the legendary Semyon Budyonny who began his career as a cavalryman

and became a Marshal of the Soviet Army. According to Volkov (1979) he was ‘famed for his huge moustache and outstanding stupidity’. The Budyonovka, a pointed helmet worn by the Red Army from 1918, was named after him. For ‘Observations on The Bolt’ see Simon Morrison’s article ‘Shostakovich as Industrial Saboteur’ in Shostakovich and His World (Laurel E. Fay ed., Princeton University Press, 2004, 117–61 with five illustrations of costumes by Tatyana Bruni). The drunken characters Ivan Corkscrew, Fyodor Beer, Manka Fart (sic) et al. named in the première booklet and in Sadovnikov’s Catalogue (1965) do not appear in the story of the ballet in the booklet nor in any musical texts. Strangely, they reappear in the BelAir DVD booklet (2007). Manka Fart is spelt thus ‘v»ËÍ’ in Cyrillic but is actually slang for the word ‘Luck’. See also the Note under Declared Dead Opus 31.

Notes: Mtsensk is a city 280 kilometres south of Moscow, on the main railway line to Kursk. The title of the opera is frequently given with one or two unnecessary definite articles—e.g. The Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District as in Kennedy 1980—though it is quite acceptable to use a shorter Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk as is the case with Rostropovich’s pioneering recording. The instrumentation given above refers to the 1935 score which states that the Passacaglia was replaced by a moderated version played by the organ and the optional band was deleted. However, Laurel E. Fay (in Fanning 1995) has discovered that the instrumentation of 1932 and 1935 is identical. From her research it appears ‘Shostakovich envisaged the organ passacaglia, as a self-contained excerpt... But there is no indication that he ever intended the organ version to replace the orchestral in a staged production’. The organ passacaglia was performed at the Leningrad Philharmonic Bolshoi Hall on 17 January 1933 and entered the repertoire of Mikhail Starokadomsky. David Fanning discusses the use of leitmotiv in the opera in Kovnatskaya (1996) and Fay contributes a 28-page article on the versions and revisions from Lady Macbeth to Katerina [Opus 114.] in Fanning 1995. See also the entry in Volume 2 of The New Grove Dictionary of Opera (1992). The opera was severely attacked in an unsigned editorial ‘Muddle instead of music’ in the issue of Pravda dated 28 January 1936. The author of the article was probably a political journalist, David Zaslavsky (Wilson 1994). An English translation appears in DSCH Newsletter XII.

P Potton Hall, Suffolk 7–8 Aug 2000, I Apr. 2001. **France: Mandala MAN 5039/Harmonia Mundi HMCD 78. Nos. 10 and 17 of McBurney’s Suite Opus 31a; the Overture and ‘The Destruction of the City’ in Shostakovich’s orchestration announced as world premières. Republican Guard Symphony Orchestra, Vladimir PONKIN. [Sans opp. G(ii) and D(ix); Opp. 4 and 56; Sans op. G(i).] P Sorbonne University, Paris concert 16 Jan. 2002, I 2002. NB. See the second paragraph below. Notes: This work has been named in the English language as Allegedly Murdered, Conditional Death, and Conditionally Dead–Killed–Murdered. Nicolas Slonimsky offers Technically Killed as yet another variation. Recent research by G. McBurney favours a buzz-word of the 1930s, Hypothetically Murdered (see the CBSO Society Ltd. programme note, 20 November 1991 and in Edmunds 2004) and this title is retained for the arrangements Opp. 31a and 31b. Elizabeth Wilson (1994, page 101, note 93) argues that all these translations are misleading and Declared Dead would be a more accurate title. The two numbers Overture and a dance called ‘The Destruction (or Ruination) of the City’, stated to have been discovered as belonging to Declared Dead in 1999, originate from the score of the ballet The Bolt and are not world premières. The Overture has been recorded many times in The Bolt Suite (Opus 27a) and ‘The Destruction of the City’ in Rozhdestvensky’s two-disc set of the complete score in 1994 (titled ‘The Installation of the Machines Pantomime’); joined recently by the BelAir DVD of 2007 (titled ‘Checking the machines’). It is likely Shostakovich considered salvaging these two numbers from his failed ballet for the stage revue. The Overture on the Mandala recording is cut from figs. 13 to 19 and continues from fig. 23 to the final bar then attacca to the complete ‘The Destruction of the City’.

The working title of the film was Greeting the Future and a further alternative title was Shame. Vstrechnyi in its various translations gives the title to the film’s most popular song: ‘The Song of the Counterplan’, ‘Song of the Passer–by’, ‘Song About the First Comer’, and ‘Song of the On-Coming’ (sic). Rabinovich (1959) gives ‘Song of the Young Workers’ which was followed by Zelikov, Collected Works Volume 34, and other translators. Martynov (1962) has ‘We’re Met by the Breezes of Morning’, Malcolm MacDonald lists ‘We Meet this Morning’, Volkov (2004) offers ‘The Morning Greets Us’ and also ‘The Morning Greets Us with Coolness’ all four of which derive from the first line of the lyric in English translation—‘The cool of the dawn greets us early’. ‘Song of the Meeting’, adopted in the 1st and 2nd editions of this catalogue, is a simple amalgam of these sources. (DCH). In honour of Stalin’s birthday, ‘Salute to Life’ was performed by Sir Henry Wood and the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a Bedford studio concert of Russian and Soviet music on 21 December 1941. The invited audience included Agnes Maisky, wife of the Soviet Ambassador, and Russian soldiers and sailors. The composer was unaware of this version listed on the compiler’s query sheet. ‘The United Nations March’, arranged by Langendoen, was played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and The Collegiate Chorale, under Leonard Bernstein, at the first Human Rights Day concert on 10 December 1949, in the Carnegie Hall, New York (recorded privately in USA on 8" acetate disc). Leopold Stokowski’s transcription, with an added choral conclusion, was performed by the Symphony of the Air and the Schola Cantorum conducted

by Hugh Ross, at a concert on the first United Nations Day, 24 October 1954, in the newly finished UN Headquarters, New York. The ‘United Nations Hymn’, published in 1942, refers to the topical theme of nations being united in the fight against Nazi Germany and Japan. The United Nations was founded in 1946 but there was not an official ‘hymn’ of the organisation until one was commissioned by U Thant, then Secretary–General, from Pablo Casals in 1970 to text by W.H. Auden (Edward Johnson in litt.). See the article ‘From the Factory to the Flat: Thirty years of the Song of the Counterplan’ by John Riley in Edmunds 2004.

Notes: The ballet was attacked in an unsigned article ‘Falsehood in Ballet’ in the issue of Pravda dated 6 February 1936. The original working title for the ballet was ‘Caprices’ (also translated as ‘Whims’). The titles’ ‘Two Sylphes’, ‘Midday’, and ‘Kuban’ were considered. The Russian name is Svetlyi ruchei. In Russian–English dictionaries the first word translates as light/bright or lucid/clear, while the second appears as brook/rill/stream. A surprisingly wide-ranging variety of titles are found in the English literature. These include The Limpid Brook in early writings (e.g. Calvocoressi 1944 and Moisenko 1949) and The Bright Stream commonly in recent works (e.g. MacDonald 1977, Volkov 1979, Kennedy 1980, and Devlin 1983). Other variants are Clear Water Springs (Moisenko 1942), The Sparkling Brook (Seroff 1943 and Krebs 1970), Clear Brooks (Boelza 1943), Bright Rivulet (Martynov/ Guralsky 1947), The Glittering Stream (D. and I. Sollertinsky 1980), The Clear Well (Khentova, Opus 36 score), Sparkling Stream (Vishnevskaya 1985), and The Enlighted Brook (Cadenza liner-note).

Opus 41: (i) The Youth of Maxim Form: Music for the first film in the ‘Maxim Trilogy’, The Youth of Maxim, subtitled The Bolshevik, with screenplay and direction by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg for Lenfilm. The black-and-white film received the First Prize (Silver Goblet) at the International Film Festival, Moscow, 1935. The revolutionary songs ‘Warsaw March’ (‘Varshavyanka’) and ‘You Fell as Victims’ are quoted in the score. Shostakovich wrote a Prologue marked ‘Allegro molto’ for the opening of the film. The part of Maxim was played throughout the Trilogy by Boris Chirkov. The popular Russian song that Maxim sings, accompanied by a bayan during the opening credits is ‘A Blue Balloon is twirling around above my head’ (composer anonymous). Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, E flat and 2 B flat clarinets, 2 bassoons ~ 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ timpani, side drum, cymbals ~ xylophone, piano ~ soprano soloist ~ strings. Composed: 1934–35, at Leningrad. Première: Film first shown on 27 January 1935. Score conducted by Nikolai Rabinovich. Music: Autograph full score preserved at TsGALI(SPb), and the autograph vocal score at GTsMMK. Muzyka, No. 10889 (in Volume 41 of Collected Works), 1987, Prologue in full score, 30 cm. DSCH Publishers, Moscow, full score in Volume 127 of New Collected Works. Duration: Film: 98–100 minutes (2678 metres). Prologue: 2' 26".

OP U S 41: ( II) TH E GIRL FRIEN DS

163

Recording: CD—Germany: Capriccio 10 561. Prologue. Svetlana Katchur (soprano), Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, Mikhail YUROVSKY. P 28–29 Apr. 1994, G Jan. 1996. Notes: The remainder of the musical items were not composed by Shostakovich and include songs with bayan and guitar accompaniment, solo voice, and mixed choir with piano (‘Gaudeamus igitur!’), the Oira Polka, Waltzes for bayan, and a Flourish. The Prologue, describing New Year revelry in St Petersburg, combines three themes: the Oira Polka on woodwind, a Krakowiak (or Cracovienne—a lively Polish dance) on brass, and the gipsy romance ‘Black Eyes’ on solo trombone and strings; and also includes a cabaret song ‘I’m a Footballplayer’ and ends with a Can-Can.

Opus 41: (ii) The Girlfriends Form: Music for the black-and-white film The Girlfriends, with screenplay by Raya Vasilieva and directed by Leo Arnshtam for Lenfilm. During the film credits the opening pages of the second Moderato of String Quartet No. 1, Opus 49 were used to replace poor soundtrack in a restored version of 1965 and Three Preludes for trumpet, string quartet, and piano were performed as concert pieces prior to the discovery of further material. The pre-revolutionary funeral anthem Tortured by Grievous Bondage is sung a capella in four scenes, several fanfares are played by one to three trumpets and a Theremin is introduced for a train ride scene in the reconstructed film score: 1. Introduction—Moderato 2. The Year 1914: The workers’ residential block and factory gates—Allegretto 3. The families wait for the striking workers to return—Allegretto 4. ‘The Inn of the Keys to Happiness’—Allegretto moderato 5. The children attempt to sing their ‘poppy song’—Moderato 6. By the river: Revolutionary song Tortured by Grievous Bondage 7. Fanfare 8. The story of Silych’s son, Ivan—Allegretto 9. Tortured by Grievous Bondage (aka Tormented by a Lack of Freedom) 10. The Year 1919, Russian Civil War: Fanfare and Organ Voluntary 11. Internationale—The girls leave for war 12. The girls attend to the wounded soldiers on the battlefield—Largo, Adagio 13. The town of Pushkin taken by the enemy—Alla Marcia 14. Internationale—The girls and wounded soldiers retreat by train

Notes: The symphony was given the designation ‘A Soviet artist’s practical creative answer to just criticism’ by an unidentified musicologist in an article ‘My Creative Answer’, issued over the composer’s signature, in Vechernyaya Moskva (Moscow evening paper) on 25 January 1938. There are several instances in Russian books and articles of the Fifth Symphony being dubbed the ‘Hamlet Symphony’. Rabinovich probably started this in 1959, followed by Polyokova, Sabinina, and others so the composer would have known of this nickname. It appears, from Russian sources, in the Soviet Weekly obituary of 16 August 1975: ‘Shostakovich was spurred on, not disheartened, by criticism [and] wrote his magnificent Fifth (‘Hamlet’) Symphony’. This unofficial title is not favoured by Western musicologists. For over fifty years Mravinsky played the four notes at the end of bar 284 (fig 38 minus 2 bars) of the fourth movement from the copyist’s manuscript score and parts as A flat, G, F, C (not A flat, G, A flat, C as in the printed music). Mrs Mravinsky, who was principal flautist of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra from 1962 to 1988, believed the F note to be

OP U S 48: VOL OCH AY EVKA DAY S

191

correct as Shostakovich never commented on the conductor’s interpretation of this symphony. Stokowski used a copyist’s score in 1939 but Rodzinski was able to obtain a printed version in 1942. Inna Barsova writes about the final movement in Bartlett 2000 and Richard Taruskin’s essay in Fanning 1995 covers the whole symphony. In the coda of the symphony Shostakovich repeats the note Lah 252 times in 33 bars as ‘a cry of despair’. ‘Lala’ is a short way of saying ‘Helen’ and linked to ‘Ya’ (‘me’). Helen (Elena Evseyevna Konstantinovskaya), a woman he loved and who rejected him, left for Spain where she married Roman Carmen and to Shostakovich she became his Carmen (see DSCH XXI and Manashir Yakubov).

Opus 48: Volochayevka Days Form: Music for the film Volochayevka Days for Lenfilm with screenplay and direction by Georgi and Sergei Vasiliev (who worked together as ‘The Vasiliev Brothers’ though, in fact, they were unrelated). Also given alternative titles of Intervention in the Far East and The Far East. Appears translated as Volchachev Days and Days of Volochayesk in some lists. A song, ‘To the Partisan’ (or ‘Blue Distances Where the Waves Lap’—words anon.), composed for the film used as a leitmotiv in the Overture, choral numbers, and Finale.

Note: On its first recording the song ‘Along the valleys and over the hills’ (also translated as ‘Thro’ the dales and o’er the hills’) was attributed to Aleksandr V. Aleksandrov as arranger with text by S. Ya. Alymov. Subsequently, the writers were changed to composer I. Aturov and lyricist P. Parfenov. Anatoli Zhelezny (Nash drug–gramplastinka. ‘Our friend–the gramophone record’. Muzychna Ukrania, Kiev, 1989, 140–52) argues that Aturov was not involved and Parfenov, composer of four other patriotic songs, probably wrote the melody of this song of the Far Eastern Partisans.

[Opp. 53, 26, and 137.] P Manchester BBC Studio 16 and 17 May 2002, I Nov. 2002, G Jan. 2003. Notes: Theodore van Houten provides information on the Trilogy in his monograph on Leonid Trauberg (1989). As Riley (2004) reports Shostakovich represents ‘an unsavoury alliance of the bourgeoisie and anarchists with a shabby brass band rendition of the ‘Cannon Song’ from Die Dreigroschenoper’ (Kurt Weill’s 1928 adaptation of The Threepenny Opera). The scene in the film showing the baptism of a child had to be cut in the Netherlands because it was considered blasphemy for a child to be baptised by a layman.

Opus 51: The Friends Form: Music for the film The Friends (or ‘The Pals’ in VAAP 1977), based on the story by author Betal Kalmykov, directed by Leo Arnshtam for Lenfilm.

Duration: Film: 111 minutes. Recordings: — Note: This two-part film presented the official version of the assassination of the popular Party leader of Leningrad, Sergei Kirov (given the fictional name of Pyotr Shakov in this production). Kirov helped to establish Soviet power in the Caucasus after 1917 and was head of the Communist Party in Leningrad from 1926. He supported Stalin against his rivals but is thought to have led the opposition to the leader’s personal rule following the 17th Party Congress in 1934. On 1 December 1934 a young Party member named Leonid V. Nikolayev walked into Kirov’s Smolny office and shot him. This assassination triggered the notorious political trials and reign of terror of the thirties. Thousands were arrested, shot, or sent to labour camps and in 1937–38 hundreds of leading Party members in Leningrad were eliminated. Sergei Kirov lives on in the names of numerous places and institutions, among them the Kirov Theatre of Opera and Ballet (formerly the Mariinsky) in Leningrad.

Opus 53: The Man with a Gun Form: Music for the black-and-white film The Man with a Gun (or November) based on the first part of the Lenin trilogy by Nikolai Pogodin, directed by Sergei Yutkevich for Lenfilm. The following items were composed for the film: 1. Overture—Allegretto 2. The October—Allegro moderato—Meno mosso 3. Smolny—Presto 3a. Smolny—Allegretto 4. Finale—Moderato No. 1 introduces Pyotr Armand’s song ‘Clouds Hang Heavy o’er the City’ which is also sung in its original form in the film. Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 B flat clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon ~ 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ timpani, triangle, side drum, cymbals, bass drum ~ glockenspiel ~ separate band of 2 cornets, 2 trumpets; 2 E flat alto, 2 B flat tenor, 2 B flat baritone, and 2 bass saxhorns ~ strings. Composed: September 1938, at Leningrad. Première: Film first shown on 1 November 1938. Music: The whereabouts of the film score is not known. Manuscript copies preserved at the TsGALI(SPb).

E.] P Hamer Hall, Melbourne concert Aug. 2005. Notes: As no full score of the original Strauss composition was available in Leningrad, Shostakovich was asked to orchestrate the polka from a library copy of the piano score and, as a consequence, omits the representation of the guard’s whistle and the tooting of the engine’s old-fashioned steam hooter. The excursion train of the sub-title ran between Vienna and the vine-growing village of Grinzing, a few kilometres to the north-west.

Opus 56: The Silly Little Mouse Form: Music for a cartoon colour film, based on the children’s fairy story in verse The Tale of the Stupid Mouse by Samuil Marshak, directed by Mikhail Tsekhanovsky for Lenfilm. This continuously evolving composition is devoid of separate numbers and could be defined as a children’s opera for the screen, with solo singers and orchestra.

Notes: Moscow Chamber Opera have solved the problem of staging the incomplete opera by tacking Antiformalist Rayok, Sans op. X(ii), on to the end of ‘The Gamblers’. At the point where Shostakovich abandoned the opera, officials arrive to confiscate the music, accusing it of being formalistic. They replace it with the score of Rayok and then perform that work. See Laurel E. Fay’s entry in The New Grove Dictionary of Opera, Volume 2, 342–43. (II) ROTHSCHILD’S VIOLIN (FLEISHMAN) Form: Completion of the one-act opera Rothschild’s Violin by Shostakovich’s pupil, Veniamin Fleishman, who was killed on active service during the siege of Leningrad in September 1941. Libretto by Fleishman based on the story by Anton Chekhov, first published in the Moscow newspaper Russian News in February 1894. The action takes place in a small provincial town at the end of the nineteenth century. The story is usually translated in English as ‘Rothschild’s Fiddle’.

Notes: The autograph and 1943 published score are titled ‘Six Romances for Bass’; later music and lists give ‘Six Romances on English Verses’ (sic) and ‘Six Romances on Verses by English Poets’ (sic). The Soviet musicologist Vera Vasina-Grossman, more correctly, retitled this song cycle ‘Six Romances for bass on words of poets of Great Britain’ and the title is given as ‘Romances on words of W. Raleigh, R. Burns, and W. Shakespeare’ in the Muzyka albums. The first of the three Burns’ settings was dedicated to Miss Jessie Lewars, who nursed the poet during his last illness in 1796; the second was set in 1788 to the fiddle tune composed by the freebooter, James Macpherson, on the eve of his execution at Banff on 16 November 1700 (see Hulme in DSCH Journal No. 10 and MacPherson’s ‘Rant and Other Tales of the Scottish Fiddle’ by Stuart McHardy, Birlinn, Edinburgh, 2004, 17–24); and the third, a revision of an old bawdy song concerning a wanton girl up to no good in a field of rye. ‘Coming thro’ the Rye’, also in Marshak’s translation, appears in Sans op. M though here Shostakovich orchestrates its traditional folk melody. Songs Nos. 2 and 3 of the Opus 62 cycle are quoted in the Thirteenth Symphony, Opus 113.

In No. 1 the chorus sings the vocalise introduction but, after the violin duo, the choral ‘Song about Zoya’ is played by the orchestra and one of its choruses omitted. USA: Russian Disc RDCD 10 002. Suite Opus 64a. Byelorussian Radio and TV Symphony Orchestra, Minsk Chamber Choir (in No. 1), Igor Matukhov (chorus-master), Walter MNATSAKANOV. P Minsk Feb. 1995, I Sept. 1996. Notes: The heroine’s childhood is recalled in the opening of the film. During a history lesson at school Zoya tells the class of the heroic action of the patriotic peasant, Ivan Susanin, who accepts a Polish bribe to lead their invading soldiers to the recently-elected Tsar in a Moscow monastery but, craftily, diverts them into a dense forest. When the Poles discover his ruse, they kill him. The chorus from Glinka’s opera is heard during this episode and again when Zoya is accompanying her school friend through the deserted Red Square at night. At the end of the film, after her brutal murder by the Nazis, the theme ‘Glory’ is gradually worked into the score and finally quoted as an exalted hymn of praise. The Capriccio booklet states ‘Although the title might lead one to think Soya is a documentary about the production of salad oil, the film is actually a Socialist fairy-tale about a peasant girl ‘from ancient times’ (sic).

Y. Novorossiisk Chimes, Sans op. U and the song Supporters of Peace March, Sans op. X(i) are based on the first two bars.

Other anthems submitted were composed by Khachaturyan alone and Iona Tuskiya. The unpopular wordless Mikhail Glinka Patriotic Song selected by Boris Yeltsin was replaced by the Aleksandrov anthem for the New Year 2001 with the original lyric rewritten by the 87-year-old Mikhailov.

Dunelm Records DRD 0261. London Shostakovich Orchestra, Christopher COX. P St Cyprian’s Church, London concert 20 May 2006, I July 2007. Notes: The Breitkopf & Härtel scores and parts, used by Western conductors after 1947, incorrectly give E sharp in the Finale coda muted violin solo (at bar 559 before fig. 172), whereas the Muzgiz and Muzyka scores faithfully reproduce the composer’s C sharp. This note is wrongly played in the DePreist, Previn, Haitink, Inbal, and Järvi recorded versions but corrected by Slatkin and Solti. It was unofficially christened the ‘Stalingrad Symphony’ after the American première. Richard Pleak contributes important and revealing ‘Unpublished letters from Shostakovich to Koussevitzky’ to DSCH Newsletter XIII (August 1989), found while doing research at the Library of Congress. These concern criticisms of the conductor’s 1944 and 1946 recordings of, respectively, Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9. The UK concert and broadcast première was originally scheduled to be performed on 13 July 1944, by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Sir Adrian Boult, from the Royal Albert Hall as part of Sir Henry Wood’s Jubilee Season of Promenade Concerts. However, the concert was cancelled by the authorities as it was realized that the hall’s glass dome made it a potential death trap with the onset of Hitler’s V-1 flying bomb attacks. The concert and broadcast took place on the same date, transferred to Bedford with substituted orchestra and conductor (see Hulme in DSCH Journal No. 11). The programme note for the Royal Festival Hall performance by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra under Yevgeni Mravinsky, in the presence of the composer, on 23 September 1960—incorrectly announced as the first UK public performance—listed the movements as ‘Adagio, March Militaire, Allegro non troppo, Passacaglia, and Largo’. The second movement quotes the Scherzo theme of the ‘Original’ Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2, Sans op. G(i). See the essay by David Haas ‘Shostakovich’s Eighth—C minor against the grain’ in Bartlett (2000). Zachary Cairns explores the links between the Eighth and Seventh Symphonies in DSCH Journal No. 27. The useful Appendix consists of five movement-by-movement full page form charts.

was an instant success on its publication in 1945 but was pronounced to be ideologically harmful and officially condemned in 1948. The author had allegedly failed to point out the role of the Communist Party in organizing underground activities. Fadeyev was hurt by this accusation—Stalin was his idol—but acknowledged his ‘errors’ and spent almost four years ‘correcting’ the novel. By 1956 he had become an alcoholic and, after Stalin’s denouncement, he shot himself.

Notes: Many of the above recordings, from early LP days—even a number of Melodiya issues—to the latest CD releases, are labelled as Opus 99. In the original version the solo violin immediately launches into the Burlesque. At rehearsals, a week before the première, David Oistrakh requested a short break after the physical effort required by the Cadenza in order to restore circulation in his right arm. Shostakovich rewrote a new beginning of the finale which he made an orchestral tutti. The original autograph was not destroyed as the composer hoped that one day it would be possible for the soloist to perform his first version.

The music, scored for chorus and orchestra, includes a folksong ‘Beyond the mountains, beyond the valleys’(text by Aleksei Gmyrev). The film awarded a Stalin Prize Second Class in 1949.

He founded a horticultural institute in Kozlov and the town was renamed Michurinsk in his honour.

Note: Suite No. 5, ‘Shturm Zeyelovskikh Vysot’, has been translated as ‘The storming of Zeyelov Heights’, ‘Attack on Zeyelovsky Heights’, and ‘Attack on Zeeloubky Height’. Seelow is 30 miles due east of Berlin and was the scene of a ferocious battle. Before dawn on 16 April 1945 General Zhukov directed batteries of searchlights to blind the Germans and to light their positions but the attack foundered in the smoke and glare. On the next day six armies, including two of tanks, failed to advance. Two inroads were made on the 18th but with no breakthrough. Stalin then ordered Zhukov to reach Berlin by the north of the Heights. A monument commemorates the battle.

Composed: 10 October 1950 to 25 February 1951, following a visit to Leipzig on the occasion of the bicentenary of Johann Sebastian Bach’s death. Written in strict numerical order (Volume 40 of Collected Works gives the exact date of composition for all the Preludes and Fugues). All were ‘played over’ by Tatyana Nikolayeva on the day following their composition. The only item to be partly composed then rewritten was the Prelude for No. 16. Premières: 18 November 1951, Leningrad Glinka Hall; Dmitri Shostakovich (four items). 23 and 28 December 1952, Leningrad Glinka Hall; Tatyana Nikolayeva (the whole cycle in two sessions). USA: 17 April 1994, Burton Memorial Tower, University of Michigan; Brandon Blazo and Margo Halsted (No. 8 played by carillon duo). Arrangements: Prelude only of No. 15 arranged for piano duet by Elena Khoven—see Sans op. O(ii). Preludes of Nos. 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 17, and 22 transcribed for double-bass and piano by Rodion Azarkhin, with editorial assistance from the composer.

[Opp. 116, 111, and 75.] P New Broadcasting House, Manchester 12–13 Oct. 2004, I Sept. 2006. Notes: The Scherzo (No. 4 in the Suite) was later arranged for piano duo and appears as the first piece of Tarantella and Prelude, Sans op. O(ii). On the 1955 full score of the Suite and in Sadovnikov’s Catalogue of 1965, No. 5 is given as ‘Shturm Krasnoi Gorki’ which translates as ‘The Assault on the Red Hill’. In Malcolm MacDonald’s Catalogue of 1977 No. 5 is listed as ‘Easter Attack’. Robert Matthew-Walker obtained a copy of the Muzgiz score on loan from Boosey & Hawkes and describes but does not name the minature ‘Piano Concerto’ in the April 1980 issue of Music and Musicians. The English title ‘The Assault on Beautiful Gorky’ materialized as a translation sometime before the 1982 publication of the first edition of this Catalogue and was repeated in Matthew-Walker’s sleeve note for Alekseyev’s 1983 LP recording and his programme booklet for the 1984 British première. While close literally—the Russian Cyrillic words for ‘beautiful’ and ‘red’ and ‘Gorky’ and ‘hill’ are similar—it was wrong in its historical context as the industrial city of Nizhni-Novgorod was not renamed in honour of Maxim Gorky until 1932 and the piece refers to an attack on a Fortress of the White Guards on a hill outside Petrograd known as the Red Hill. The 1985 second edition of MacDonald’s Catalogue also gives the ‘Gorky’ label yet the French version of 1988 correctly has ‘L’assaut de la Colline Rouge’! The conductor Adriano adopted the ‘Red Hill’ title for his Marco Polo recording of March 2000. (see Hulme in DSCH Journal No. 19). Incidentally, this piece is

frequently listed, rather misleadingly, as a mini-piano concerto (i.e. a fullblown concerto for a small piano?). Reference: Hulme (in DSCH 19).

Opus 90: The Sun Shines over Our Motherland Form: Patriotic cantata for boys’ choir, mixed chorus, and orchestra (with 2 harps and additional brass) to a text of Yevgeni Dolmatovsky, marked ‘Moderato con moto’. The original title was ‘Cantata about the Party’. Earlier working sketches to different texts of Yevgeni Dolmatovsky were titled ‘The Standard-bearers of the Twentieth Century’ (for men’s chorus) and ‘Won in Persistent Struggles’ (for mixed chorus). Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 3 oboes, 3 B flat clarinets, 2 bassoons ~ 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ additional band of 3 trumpets and 3 trombones ~ timpani, triangle, side drum, cymbals, gong ~ glockenspiel, 2 harps ~ boys’ choir, S.A.T.B. chorus ~ strings. Composed: Completed on 29 October 1952. Première: 6 November 1952, Moscow Conservatory Bolshoi Hall; Moscow State Choral Boys’ Choir, USSR Symphony Orchestra and Choir, Konstantin Ivanov. Arrangement: Reduction of the accompaniment for piano by the composer. Music: Autograph full score preserved at GTsMMK. A manuscript copy with the composer’s inscription ‘Consider this the original.

Notes: Elizabeth Wilson (1994, pp. 256–7 and 261–2) relates Tatyana Nikolayeva’s conviction that the symphony was composed in 1951 ‘parallel to the creation of the Preludes and Fugues’, Opus 87. David Fanning’s major study of the Tenth Symphony, The Breath of the Symphonist, was published by the Royal Musical Association, London, 1988. This 94-page book gives an almost bar-by-bar analysis of the symphony, illustrated with 60 music examples.

The origin of the enigmatic feature of the third movement—the horn call that occurs twelve times—was revealed by Nelly Kravetzina’s Michigan University lecture on 28 January 1994 and circulated in DSCH Journal No. 1 (summer 1994), 24–25. The motif is the encoded name of Elmira Nazirova who, at the time of the writing of the symphony, was a 25-year-old composer from Azerdaidzhan and an object of his affection. The first and last letters of Elmira are the notes E and A and the middle letters in Tonic Sol-fa notation are ‘l’ (= note A), ‘mi’ (= note E), and ‘r’ (= note D) giving the horn motif EAEDA. Elmira Nazirova contributed her story to the compilation Shostakovich in Context (Rosamund Bartlett ed., Oxford University Press, New York, 2000) and her photograph appears in an article by Aida N. Huseynova in DSCH Journal No. 17 (July 2002), 38–40.

1 The title page of the First Edition of 1982 using the striking image of Dmitri Shostakovich by artist Konstantin Vasiliev, who was born in 1942 in Nazioccupied Maikop. When peace returned to the USSR the family moved to the Volga-bank village of Vasilyeva. Vasiliev studied painting in the Repin School, Moscow, then near home at the Kazan Art School. He has painted an impressive cycle of Russian heroes and drawings of the composers Chopin, Mozart, Bach, Liszt, Skyrabin, Rimsky-Korsakov, and—Shostakovich.

2 Extracts from two query sheets with replies written and typed by the composLetter from Shostakovich dated 7 December 1974 with his DSCH motto requested in a letter dated 24 November 1974. This particular version has been reproduced as a heading on DSCH Journal and Association Internationale ‘Dimitri Chostakovitch’ circulars, in an October 1991 Classic CD magazine feature, in Sofia Moshevich’s Dmitri Shostakovich|—Pianist, on a commemorative mug on sale at a Shostakovich Weekend at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire in October 1992, and elsewhere. The composer’s printed name on the reverse side of an envelope is noteworthy for his spelling of his signature in a hybrid German/English and Cyrillic languages.

3 Extracts from two query sheets with replies written and typed by the composer, accompanying a letter dated 19 August 1974. Note the composer’s use of the word ‘Obrabotki’ (Cultivation) to mean ‘adaptation’ for Opus 104; the Quartet No. 15, Opus 144, given the key of E minor; and the title Oath to Stalin, Sans op. J(i), heavily crossed out.

4 A six kopeck dark blue Shostakovich commemorative stamp designed by V. Koval issued on birth date 25 September 1976. It shows part of the first movement of the Leningrad Symphony and the towers of the Peter and Paul Fortress outlined by searchlights.

5 New Babylon score, posted from Moscow, autographed by Gennadi Rozhdestvensky on 8 August 1977. Note the number erroneously given as Opus 17.

6 Score of Mieczysław Weinberg’s Twelfth Symphony, dedicated to Shostakovich, autographed on 3 April 1987. Note his own Cyrillic signature transliterated M. Vainberg and Anglicized name M. Weinberg on the score. For a paragraph on this tribute see p. 598. Insert: the dedication on the first page of score.

Notes: The Cyrillic word O¼pa¼oÍÅÃ (Obrabotaki) meaning Cultivation, used as a title for Opus 104 in earlier editions of this catalogue, was given in the composer’s typed list of December 1974. It is now obvious that Shostakovich intended this to mean the ‘working up’ or ‘processing’ of the two traditional folksongs, not as a title for a projected cycle of working songs relating to country culture. No. 1 is ‘a drawn-out song from the Kuibyshev Region’ and No. 2, a roundelay performed in patter from the Novgorod Region. The latter’s tempo suggests a comic song in spite of the vivid description of domestic violence. See the article ‘The Title of Opus 104: A Mystery Solved’ by D. C. Hulme in DSCH Journal No. 26.

Notes: The Russian title translates as ‘The Bird-cherry District of Moscow’. Originally titled Cheryomushki and then New Tenants. The film Opus 105a was named Song over Moscow in America, and Cherry Town on the UK DVD. The English title given as Cheryomushki, Moscow in Volumes 24 and 25 of Collected Works. It was retitled Cheryomushki 1958 for the British stage première and during its run shortened to Cheryomushki while Opera North used Paradise Moscow in spring 2001. The name of the Cheryomushki District was changed to Brezhnev District after the Soviet leader’s death in 1982 but restored to its original name in January 1988. See the article ‘Not a cherry tree in sight’ by Gerard McBurney in Tempo No. 190 (Sept. 1994) and BBC Music, Apr. 1995 and his detailed contribution—the chapter ‘Fried Chicken in the Bird-Cherry Trees’ with 26 music examples—to Laurel Fay’s Shostakovich and His World, (Laurel E. Fay ed., Princeton University Press, 2004, 227–73). The cherry tree, translated incorrectly as ‘cherrybird tree’ (sic) in the booklet with Rostropovich’s compact disc set, is the wild Bird Cherry (Prunus padus Linnaeus). This northern tree grows naturally in the Moscow district and is not the ornamental Japanese Flowering Cherry which was planted to beautify the new housing estate (see D. C. Hulme’s letter in Gramophone, May 1998). In Act 2 Scene 3 the ‘Airborne forces’ of previous editions is a possible translation of ‘Vozdushnyi desant’ though Gerard McBurney suggests ‘Aerial descent’ would be more appropriate for the unauthorised entry of the flats by means of a building-site crane.

Opus 106: Khovanshchina (Mussorgsky) Form: Reorchestration of Modest Mussorgsky’s five-act opera Khovanshchina of 1886 for a colour film version, with scenario by Anna Abramova, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Vera Stroeva, for Mosfilm. Shostakovich provided two alternative endings to the final scene. Instrumentation: 3 flutes (III = piccolo), 3 oboes (III = cor anglais), 3 clarinets (A and B flat; III = bass clarinet), 3 bassoons (III = contrabassoon) ~ 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ separate band of French horns, trumpets, and trombones on and off stage (numbers not specified) ~ timpani, triangle, tambourine, side drum, cymbals, bass drum, gong ~ glockenspiel, orchestral bells, celesta ~ 2–4 harps, piano ~ strings. Composed: Edited and orchestrated March 1958–26 April 1959, at Moscow. Acts 1 and 4 completed on 16 March and 1 August 1958 respectively. Premières: Film first shown on 23 May 1959 (orchestra conducted by Yevgeni Svetlanov).

Notes: See the essay ‘Mussorgsky and Shostakovich’ by Laurel E. Fay in Malcolm H. Brown’s Mussorgsky: In Memoriam, 1881–1981. Nesterenko spoke to Shostakovich in the spring of 1975 about the difficulties that faced singers performing this vocal cycle. Mussorgsky intended to write a two-part album, but wrote only three songs for a medium voice in the first part—‘Lullaby’, ‘Serenade’, and ‘Trepak’—and one, ‘The Warrior Captain’ for high voice in the second part. A mezzo-soprano copes with the high tessitura in the last song with some difficulty. It is possible to transpose the first three a tone lower to suit a bass or contralto with little change to the instrumentation but then the score of the fourth cannot be transposed without altering the instrumentation. Shostakovich agreed he would adapt ‘The Warrior Captain’ to suit a medium voice but unfortunately he was not

destined to make the change. (Nesterenko, Thoughts About My Profession, Iskusstvo, Moscow, 1984).

Opus 113: Symphony No. 13 in B flat minor Form: Symphony, subtitled Babi Yar, for bass soloist, bass choir, and full orchestra (with 2–4 harps and piano), to settings of Yevgeni Yevtushenko’s poems, in five movements: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Babi Yar—Adagio Humour—Allegretto In the Store—Adagio attacca Fears—Largo attacca A Career—Allegretto

Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 3 oboes (III = cor anglais), 3 clarinets (B flat and A; III = E flat and bass), 3 bassoons (III = contrabassoon) ~ 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ timpani, triangle, castanets, wood block, tambourine, side drum, whip, cymbals, bass drum, gong ~ bass soloist, choir of 40–100 bass voices ~ 1st violins (16–20), 2nd violins (14–18), violas (12–16), double-basses (10–14 five-string specified). Composed: The piano and full scores of Babi Yar completed on 27 March and 21 April 1962 respectively. Originally intended as a one-movement symphonic poem. Subsequently four more movements were written and these were dated 5, 9, 16, and 20 July 1962. The poem ‘Babi Yar’ was published in Literaturnaya gazeta, 19 September 1961. Nos. 2, 3, and 5 were selected by the composer from Yevtushenko’s collection A Wave of the Hand published in Moscow in early 1962. ‘Fears’ was specially written at the composer’s request and published in Komsomolskaya pravda, 21 November 1962. Revision of the first movement Babi Yar (two four-line passages of the original text changed) in January 1963. Premières: 18 and 20 December 1962, Moscow Conservatory Bolshoi Hall; Vitali Gromadsky (bass), Republican State and Gnessin Institute Choirs (basses only), Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Kirill Kondrashin. Revised version: three mid-February 1963 (on 10, 11, and ?14) concerts in Minsk under conductor Vitali Katayev and on 20 September 1965 at Moscow under Kondrashin. There were no changes to the music in Minsk though the Moscow performance used the revised text and music.

[Yevtushenko speaking.] P Moscow Conservatory Bolshoi Hall concert 14 Oct. 2006, I 2008. Notes: The melodies of two Burns’ settings from Opus 62 appear in this symphony. The theme of ‘O, Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast’ is quoted at fig. 13 in the first movement. For the significance of this quotation in the ‘Anne Frank episode’ see Shostakovich Reconsidered, 603–04. The music of ‘Macpherson before his Execution’ is used fittingly between figs 51 and 62 in the second movement, when Humour breaks into a dashing dance and goes to his execution as a political prisoner. The difficulties experienced prior to the première of the Thirteenth Symphony are expounded in the article ‘Kondrashin on Shostakovich’ in DSCH Newsletter XVIII and Yevgeni Yevtushenko writes twelve pages on ‘Babi Yar—the Most Dangerous Symphony’ in DSCH Journal No. 15. Galina Vishnevskaya throws new light on this symphony in her 1985 book Galina: A Russian Story.

Notes: The score carries the following ‘Composer’s Note.’ ‘The director of any opera house intending to produce the opera Katerina Izmailova should bear in mind the following: No cuts whatever are permitted. There are in the opera a number of episodes where the soloists, chorus, and the banda perform backstage. The volume of sound should be so regulated that they are well heard in the auditorium. Mutes are not applied to the double-basses, so where all the string parts are marked con sord., but the double-bass part has no such markings, this should not be regarded as a misprint.’ The oddly-named brass band featured in the 1962 première was formed by a Kirkcaldy jute and linoleum company in 1902 and performed successfully until the plant closed in the mid-1960s.

Opus 115: Overture on Russian and Kirghiz Folksongs Form: Occasional overture for orchestra, marked ‘Moderato—Allegro non troppo—Adagio—Allegro—Presto’. The folksongs developed are ‘O, You Tramps’—collected by Aleksandr Medvedev in the Omsk region in 1959; ‘Tyryldan’ (a mythical creature) and ‘Op Maida’ (thresher’s song)—being Nos. 3 and 8 from Viktor Vinogradov’s collection, One Hundred Kirghiz Songs and Tunes, published in Moscow, 1956. Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 B flat clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon ~ 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba ~ timpani, triangle, cymbals ~ 1st violins (16), 2nd violins (14), violas (12), cellos (12), double-basses (10). String strength quoted to be regarded as the minimum. Composed: September 1963, at Repino, in honour of the 100th anniversary of the voluntary incorporation of Kirghizia into the Russian Empire.

Opus 120: A Year is Like a Lifetime Form: Music for the biographical colour film A Year is Like a Lifetime, based on the life of Karl Marx, directed by Grigori Roshal for Mosfilm. Film script from the play by Galina Serebrykova. The score consists of 29 items and includes an Offenbachian schnell-polka ‘Morning’ not included in the Suite Opus 120a and also the Revolutionary songs, the ‘La Marseillaise’ and ‘Ça ira’. The missing film score numbers are probably songs or music by other composers as Shostakovich’s autograph score deposited in the Glinka Museum refers to 23 orchestral pieces: 1. 4. 5. 6. 9.

(II) CANTATA Antiformalist Rayok Form: A satirical semi-staged cantata based on the notorious Conference of Musicians at the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party in Moscow, January 1948 and its Decree of 10 February 1948. The score, for four bass singers, a small mixed chorus of musical activists (required mainly for laughter and applause) and piano, uses the original text of speeches by Stalin, Andrei Zhdanov, and his successor, Dmitri Shepilov, in the libretto by the composer (not Lev Lebedinsky as claimed in a Tempo article). The composer states that the cast may be reduced to one versatile artist, taking the part of the chorus and all four roles in appropriate voices. The melodies of the popular songs ‘Suliko’, ‘Kamarinskaya’ and ‘Kalinka’ are introduced. The added finale quotes music from Jean-Robert Planquette’s operetta Les cloches de Corneville (1877). Composed: The first part before the appearance of Troikin written secretly in May 1948, with a continuation in 1957 after the Second Congress of Musicians at which Zhdanov’s successor, Dmitri Shepilov, presided. Originally the score purposefully remained incomplete at the 24th bar after fig. 33. A finale, composed between 1965 and 1968, was discovered by Veniamin Basner in May 1989.

Labelled as ‘Learner’s Manual’ on the world première recording and titled ‘The Antiformalistic Gods’ in Soviet Weekly, No. 2495, 16 December 1989 (the latter modified to Antiformalist Gallery for the UK première). An alternative translation of the Russian title is Little Eden or Little Paradise; also used colloquially to refer to the topmost gallery in a theatre—‘the gods’ (UK) or ‘peanut gallery’ (USA). Stalin’s favourite song, the Georgian folksong ‘Suliko’, here used in its original form was also obliquely parodied in the finale of the first Cello Concerto Opus 107 (Fay 2000, 212–13 and Wilson 2007, 133) A review of the première is published in DSCH Newsletter XI and for comments on the work by Irina Shostakovich see the following issue.

Notes: Shostakovich called the musical images in the first movement ‘a kind of toyshop’ and the puzzling quotation from Rossini’s William Tell Overture, according to the composer’s explanation, is of a toy soldier strutting to the strains of the simplest tune he is able to play. Kurt Sanderling in an interview with Robert Maycock said, ‘He never liked to talk about his works: It was impossible to talk with him about the Fifteenth. But I sat with him at the Berlin première of this symphony and I told him that I thought the

first movement was tragic unlike most people’. ‘You are not wrong,’ he said, ‘It is tragic marionette-like: we are all marionettes.’ (Classical Music Weekly, 29 Oct. 1977). See the article ‘An orchestral toyshop’ by Philip Clark in Gramophone January 2008 issue. Fifteen versions recorded between 1974 and 2006 are discussed. Two stand out; the old favourite Haitink’s of 1978 is top notch though the reviewer considered the latest, Maksim Shostakovich’s on Supraphon, the first choice. A full-page photograph of composer and son at the 1972 Moscow première is shown on page XX.

Note: In March 1974 the compiler thanked Dmitri Shostakovich for the pleasure his music had given over many years. Two sheets of queries on his lesser-known compositions were included with the letter. He replied five months later, apologizing for the delay on account of serious illness and expressing appreciation for the interest in his music. He added details of his latest works Opuses 141 to 145 (see Plate 3). All his treasured comments were incorporated in the First Edition. As the Fitzwilliam Quartet had presented the British premières of the 13th and 14th string quartets, the news of a No. 15 was passed on to their violist, Alan George. Mr George immediately wrote to the composer for the parts of his new quartet and these were received in late December. When the compiler met Alan George at a 1977 performance of the Quartet No. 12 in Edinburgh he remarked that the quartet members were rather shaken when the music arrived with its six Adagio movements, not in E minor but in the difficult key of E flat minor! This proved to be Shostakovich’s last quartet. Regrettably he did not live to complete his projected cycle of twenty-four quartets in different keys as intimated to members of the Beethoven Quartet in May 1960. The nine not written were in the major keys of B and E and the minor keys A, B, D, E, G, C sharp and G sharp.

Notes: When Nesterenko and Shenderovich rehearsed Opus 146, in the composer’s presence, he asked the pianist when performing ‘The Cockroach’ to turn over the sheet music as though they were starting from the beginning again. Shostakovich explained that in Dostoyevsky’s novel, the buffoon Lebyadyin made a hash of his vocal by getting out of time. Turning to the accompanist he says, ‘Start again, please’. The pianist plays the introduction again but this time Lebyadkin now sings in a higher register! This greatly amused the composer and he asked Nesterenko and Shenderovich ‘to do this trick’ and ‘naturally, we complied—as we always do now— with Shostakovich’s request’.

Appendix I COLLECTIONS OF SHOSTAKOVICH’S MUSIC, ARRANGEMENTS, AND MUSIC PUBLISHERS

Several collections of Shostakovich’s music have been published. These include the album Waltzes from Film Music by Sovetskii kompozitor in 1959, comprising full scores of eight waltzes from Opp. 45, 30, 78, 76, 97, 99, 95, and 37. A three-volume Soviet edition Compositions for fortepiano appeared separately in 1966, 1968, and 1969. The volume entitled Vocal Compositions has been published with recent additions from time to time by Muzyka; the 1974 issue containing the song cycles Opp. 46, 62, 79, 91, 98, 100, 109, and 143. The string quartets Nos. 1 to 8 were published in two volumes by Muzyka, Nos. 30858-59 (size 21 cm.) in 1964; by Edwin F. Kalmus, Nos. 429 and 430 (18 cm.), and in the Edition Peters, Nos. 5728a and b (19 cm.) in the 1970s. Hans Sikorski issued study scores (21 cm.) of the fifteen quartets in five volumes between 1978 and 1981 (No. 2265 covers 1–4; 2266, 5–8; 2267, 9 and 10; 2268, 11 and 12; 2209, 13–15). Excerpts from Symphonies Nos. 1, 5, and 7, transcribed for piano solo by Ludwig Flato, were published by Leeds Music in 1946. Frederick Block arranged and edited various pre-1938 items for a Contemporary Masterpieces: Album No. 19 in 1947. This collection was reissued as Shostakovich: Nine Pieces for Piano and published by Edward B. Marks, New York (No. 11668-68 et al, 1951–57, 30 cm.). The pieces are the first movement from the First Symphony; Russian Dance and Polka from The Golden Age; Prelude, Opus 34 No. 4; the Scherzo of the Fifth Symphony; three extracts from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District—Dance (commencing at fig. 384), Interlude (fig. 113), and Grotesque Scene (fig. 434); and Marche Sarcastique from Hamlet, Opus 32. A selection of eight pieces from ballet, operetta, and film scores, arranged by Dénes Agay under the title Melodic Moments, appeared in 1969. Orchestral studies for flute (excerpts from Symphonies Nos. 1–3 and 5–9), edited by John Wummer, was published by Leeds Music in 1949 (31 cm). Orchestral studies for clarinet, edited by H. Roscher, was published by Friedrich Hofmeister 565

A PPE ND IX I

of Leipzig; and another compilation by A. A. Aleksandrov was published by Muzyka in 1964 (29 cm.). Trumpet studies compiled by H. Krumpfer from Shostakovich compositions appear in Hofmeister, Volume 10. Levon Atovmyan accomplished sterling work in assembling suites from Shostakovich’s film scores, re-orchestrating numbers, extending and rounding off fragments where necessary for concert performance, with the full approval of the composer. These suites are fully detailed under the original opus numbers. He compiled a volume of 24 songs from film scores, arranged for voice(s) and chorus with piano accompaniment, published by Sovetskii kompozitor (No. 519, 1958, 29 cm.) and several collections of ‘not difficult pieces’ for pianoforte being simplified reductions of film and ballet numbers; these including the ballet suite Choreographic Miniatures—21 pieces arranged as Events of a Day first appearing in 1962 with a second edition published by Sovetskii kompozitor in 1973 (No. 2618, 29 cm.) and in the Edition Sikorski also in 1973 (No. 2202, 31.5 cm.); and 25 pieces entitled Roundabout of Dances, incorporating Dances of the Dolls Nos. 1–5 and 7, published by Edition Sikorski in 1970 (No. 2201, 31.5 cm.) and G. Schirmer in 1972 (No. 1887, 30 cm.), with two piano duets added by editor Joseph Prostakoff. The Collected Works in 42 volumes, announced by Muzyka in 1977, was published between 1979 and 1987. Many compositions appeared in print for the first time. All works were collated with the composer’s manuscript. Each cloth-bound volume contains a portrait and a facsimile page of one composition’s autograph. The distinguished editorial committee included Tikhon Khrennikov, Rodion Shchedrin, Vasili Kukharsky, Yevgeni Svetlanov, Leonid Sidelnikov, Konstantin Titarenko, Konstantin Fortunatov, Boris Chaikovsky, Grigori Shneyerson (died February 1982), and Maksim Shostakovich (dropped from the panel in 1981). Manashir Yakubov compiled much of the editorial material and though his name appeared on proof pages in 1978 his considerable contribution was not credited in the published volumes. Volumes 1 to 9 cover the symphonies; 10 and 11, overtures and other orchestral works; 12 to 17, the concertos in full score and piano reduction; 18 to 25, the operas in full and vocal score; 26, the ballet suites; 27 and 28, theatre music; 29 and 30, the cantatas in full and vocal score; 31 to 33, the vocal compositions; 34, choral works; 35 to 38, chamber music; 39 and 40, the pianoforte works; and 41 and 42, suites and items for film scores. The 1979–1987 edition of Collected Works in 42 volumes is gradually being superseded by the New Collected Works from DSCH Publishers of Moscow. This cloth-bound edition of the 150 volumes grouped into a fifteen genre series, which was launched in 2000, will include over 80 works published for the first time. The description of each work in Russian and English, plus an appended commentary on the music, is compiled by Manashir Yakubov.

Twenty volumes have been published up to the end of 2006 and details of these are included under the Music headings. Future volumes are mentioned without the year of publication stated. In addition many works are being issued singly for performance purposes, in paperback format and lacking the detailed commentaries. Those already available as full-size scores and separate parts cover the sonatas and fifteen string quartets. In addition to the New Collected Works, DSCH Publishers, from 1993 onwards, have released practical performing editions of piano and chamber works and the fifteen quartets (separate scores and string parts). Certain of these editions have been listed under the Music headings. A convenient up-to-date Editions DSCH: Catalogue de vente can be obtained from Association Internationale Dimitri Chostakovitch, 19bis rue des Saints Pères, 75006 Paris, France.

Appendix II FILM, RADIO, TELEVISION, AND THEATRE PRODUCTIONS

A Soviet film Dmitri Shostakovich, subtitled ‘Études towards a portrait of the composer’, directed by Albert Gendelshtein, was shown in Moscow on 3 April 1967. Four further films were released between 1977 and 1982: The Composer Shostakovich (Yuri Belyankin), Shostakovich—the composer and his times (B. Goldenblank), and see under Opus 145 for the 1977 film Recollections of Shostakovich and Opus 147 for the 1981 film Sonata for Viola. Fragments from twenty-one compositions, interviews with Shostakovich and extracts from historic films were presented in the BBC Television Omnibus documentary Music from the Flames. The hour-long film, with script by Norman Kay, was produced by Ian Engelmann and screened on BBC TV1 on 10 November 1974. It was repeated as a tribute to the composer on 10 August 1975, the day following his death. Works featured were shown in the following order: Op. 93, Tenth Symphony (parts of the second movement) Op. 5, Fantastic Dances (film clip of Nos. 1 and 2 played by the composer) Op. 10, First Symphony (film clip of the first movement conducted by Maksim Shostakovich) Op. 27, The Bolt (The Bureaucrat) Op.114, Katerina Izmailova (Act 3, the arrival of the police and Act 2, the flogging of Sergei—from the film starring Galina Vishnevskaya) Op. 43, Fourth Symphony (fragments from the first and second movements rehearsed by Gennadi Rozhdestvensky) Op. 47, Fifth Symphony (portions of the first and third movements conducted by Maksim Shostakovich) Op. 67, Second Piano Trio (opening of the fourth movement) Op. 60, Seventh Symphony (parts of the 1st movement march and coda conducted by Arvid Yansons at a Leningrad concert to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the siege) 571

A Soviet production dubbed into German includes interviews with Shostakovich and Rozhdestvensky with film clips from several historic performances and scenes of the composer’s funeral shown to the music of the Piano Trio No, 2. Memories of Shostakovich. Fragments from four compositions, here with the funeral scenes accompanied by Quartet No. 8, and including a complete Symphony No. 1 played by the Gewandhaus Orchestra under Kurt Masur. Belyankin’s 60-minute film The Composer Shostakovich (1975) documentary includes extracts from rehearsals and première performances, in the presence of the composer, of The Nose (Rozhdestvensky), Quartet No. 15 (Taneyev Quartet, accompanied by wintry cityscapes of Leningrad), Michelangelo Suite (Nesterenko and Shenderovich, illustrated with examples of the poet’s paintings and sculptures), with the finale of Symphony No. 15 (his son conducting), interspersed with an interview in the composer’s Moscow flat. Presented by its scenario author Oksana Dvornichenko, under the title Three Premières, at the Glasgow ‘25 Years On’ Symposium on 27 October 2000. The music feature in Saturday Review, shown on BBC2 TV on 27 September 1986, discussed the hotly contested authenticity of Solomon Volkov’s Testimony. Irina Shostakovich remarked that Volkov visited them but rarely. Michael Berkeley interviewed the author and Maksim Shostakovich. Volkov, ‘a fanatical

APPEN DIX II

573

devotee’ stated he had regular contacts with the composer over ten years and ‘he happened to be the right person at the right time’. Maksim, since his defection, has more or less endorsed the controversial ‘memoirs’: ‘It has opened a big interest [in Shostakovich] in the Western World. Sometimes too much rumour but the basis of the book is true . . . accurate.’ A music-theatre piece Black Sea Follies centred on the stark conflict between Stalin and Shostakovich—the struggle between tyrant and artist— conceived, directed, and music arranged by Stanley Silverman and written by Paul Schmidt, was first staged on 6 August 1986 at the Lenox Arts Center, Stockbridge, Massachusetts and brought to Playwrights Horizons, New York on 16 December 1986. The piece is for three male actors and musicians—a piano quintet on stage, mezzo-soprano, tenor, and bass-baritone. The 60 minutes of music of the piece’s 90 minutes includes extracts from Quartets Nos. 1, 3, 7, 8, and 13 and the Piano Quintet; Tahiti Trot; prison camp scene and Katerina’s aria from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District; a duet from Moscow, Cheryomushki and songs Op. 62 Nos. 4 and 6; Op. 121 No. 2; Op. 127 No. 3, and ‘United Nations on the March’. In the third semi-final of the BBC TV1 Mastermind from Leicester University, televised on 17 May 1987, an Oxfam district organizer Paul Henderson, correctly answered (‘with no passes’) all but one of Magnus Magnusson’s twenty questions (set by Michael Kennedy) on the speciality subject ‘The Life and Works of Shostakovich’. Instead of giving Druzhinin as the dedicatee of the Viola Sonata the contender named Beethoven (see Op. 147). Six years later—on 29 September 2003 (Mastermind now switched to a Manchester studio on BBC TV2 with John Humphrys as question master), a Radar Design Engineer Noel Turner, also chose ‘The Life and Works of Shostakovitch’ (sic) as his specialist topic. Of the sixteen questions he scored eight points with four passes (‘For which violinist were both Violin Concertos composed?’, ‘In which Crimea resort did he meet Tatyana Glivenko?’, ‘From which Dostoyevsky novel did he take four texts, and ‘What is unusual about the Fugue in C major?’ After almost six years, on 3 April 2009, this subject also was chosen by Richard Griffiths, an infirmary Security Officer. He scored eleven points with two passes (‘What was the bombardment to silence the German guns during the broadcast of the ‘Leningrad Symphony’ (Opus 60) called?’—Operation Squaw) and ‘Where does the Barber find Kovalyov’s Nose (Opus 15) early one morning?’—In a breakfast roll!). The first of five programmes in BBC TV2’s festival, Shostakovich: A Career, subtitled ‘The Public and Private Voice of Dmitri Shostakovich’, was screened on 7 November 1987. In this 75-minute documentary, produced by Peter Maniura, the public achievement and private struggle of the composer are retold by his third wife Irina, son Maksim, and daughter Galina; poet Yevgeni Yevtushenko, film-director Leonid Trauberg, singers Galina Vishnevskaya and

574

A PPE ND IX II

Yevgeni Nesterenko, conductors Gennadi Rozhdestvensky and Rudolf Barshai, biographer Solomon Volkov, stage-director Yuri Lyubimov, and composers Karen Khachaturyan and Tikhon Khrennikov. Liberally illustrated with archive film of events and concerts including the propaganda newsreel of blockaded Leningrad, the 1949 visit to America, the First International Tchaikovsky Competition, and the funerals of Stalin and Shostakovich. Music examples from Opp. 123, 4, 1, 14, 18, 43, 46, 47, 60, 62, 70, 79, 35, 90, 109, 113, 145, and 135 with Dimiter Petkov (bass), Kathryn Harries (soprano), and Graham Johnson (piano) performing excerpts from the song cycles. The British Television Channel Four film Testimony, directed by Tony Palmer, had its première at the London Film Festival, Empire Cinema, Leicester Square on 15 November 1987. It was first screened on television on 13 January 1990. David Rudkin’s script was based on Solomon Volkov’s book of the same title. Filmed entirely on location in the North of England (Wigan, Liverpool, and Lake Windermere) with the principal parts of Shostakovich and Stalin played by Ben Kingsley and Terence Rigby respectively, and the score played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Rudolf Barshai. A selection of the music from the film is included on the AVM Classic Movie Music LP, cassette and CD 1006 issued in September 1988. The film is available on videocassette Connoisseur CR 174 and on DVD Digital Classics DC 10010 (reviewed G June 2006). A play An Informer’s Duty by Greg Cullen was broadcast on BBC Radio 3, 4 December 1994. Set in Leningrad 1937, it covers the official attack on Shostakovich and the response to his desperate predicament, culminating in the composition of the Fifth Symphony. With Jonathan Cullen as Shostakovich, Fiona Shaw as Anna Akhmatova, and John Shrapnel as Stalin. Overcoat, the film mentioned in the Postscript of the Third Edition (page 582), was made by the same company as a theatrical production at the Vancouver Playhouse in 1997 and which toured Canada in 2000. This original show was directed by Morris Panych and Wendy Gorling. Their 90-minute presentation was the main attraction of the late January 2004 London International Mime Festival, the cast of 22 playing 65 characters. The music was performed in the following order: Jazz Suite No. 1/1; Op. 35/1, 2, and 4; Suite for Variety Orchestra/5; Op. 102/3; Suite for Variety Orchestra/2; Ballet Suites No. 3/5, No. 1/3, No. 2/1; Op. 102/1; Ballet Suites No. 1/1, No. 2/4; Op. 93/2; Op. 102/2; and Suite for Variety Orchestra/7. The American award-winning television film The War Symphonies: Shostakovich Against Stalin, directed by Larry Weinstein and produced by Rhombus Media Inc. of Toronto in 1997, includes excerpts from six symphonies Nos. 4 to 9 played by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and Orchestra of Mariinsky Theatre under Valery Gergiev, rare newsreel footage, the composer’s wartime radio broadcast, and statements from Shostakovich’s family, friends,

and colleagues. Videotape, with limited availability, from Bulldog Films, Olean, Pennsylvania. Re-released in 2005; reviewed in DSCH Journal No. 24 by John Riley and The Gramophone March 2006 by David Fanning. Oksana Dvornichenko’s 52-minute film of 1999 Family Album shows moving interviews with son Maksim, daughter Galina, and third wife Irina recollecting on the life of the composer, with Galina at the family dacha leafing through an album of personal photographs. This film was premièred in the UK at the Glasgow ‘25 Years On’ Symposium on 27 October 2000. Howard Goodall’s Great Dates, shown on 6 October 2002. [A Channel 4 one-hour TV review of musical life—classical and jazz—in 1937 elucidated the difficulties the composers Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Kurt Weill, and Richard Strauss faced under the totalitarian regimes of Stalin and Hitler. The clips of Shostakovich showed him playing the finale of Piano Concerto No. 1 and composing the ‘Leningrad Symphony’, walking along a street and shaking hands with Tikhon Khrennikov; the flogging of Sergei and the drowning scene from the film Katerina Izmailova, and extracts from Symphony No. 5 played by the St Petersburg Philharmonic.] Two documentaries, produced by O. Dvornichenko (Moscow) and Helga Landauer (New York), were premièred in the UK at the ‘Shostakovich 100’ in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London on 25 September 2006: Shostakovich— Pianist (28 minutes, 2005), including all the known surviving film of his own piano-playing and A Journey by Shostakovich (60 minutes, 2006), in Illinois covered the composer’s third and last visit to America to collect an honorary doctorate and a clandestine call on doctors in Bethesda, Maryland.


Appendix III RECORDINGS

The following data are given: country of origin (if not Britain or universal); company and manufacturer’s disc number(s); size, speed and type of reproduction (if not 12 inch/300 mm., 331⁄3 rpm, long-playing stereophonic); performers— soloists, orchestra, conductor et al.; date or year of performance, publication or review date in the magazine The Gramophone (e.g. G Jan. 1998). The key artist (e.g., the soloist in a sonata or concerto, the singer in an orchestrated song cycle, or the conductor in a purely orchestral work) is capitalised to facilitate locating a particular recording. The personnel of piano trios are named in the order of violinist, cellist, and pianist. ‘Viola player’ is shortened, as American usage, to ‘violist’. Multiple entries under each work are listed as near as possible to a chronological order of performance date. The date of recording refers to the original recording if known (e.g. P Prague concert 13 Nov. 1996) with the date of issue (e.g. I Nov. 1997). The italicised lowercase letter after the issue year of post-1971 Soviet recordings refers to the USSR quarterly record catalogue (e.g. I 1976c). For the comprehensive listing of recordings available in Japan refer to gramophile Kudo’s website http//develp.envi.osakafu-u.ac.jp/staff/kudo/dsch/dsch-e-html. This is also a valuable source for track timings and the Filmography. Developments in the delivery of digital audio (contributed by Andrew Walton and Peter Bromley) up to the date of this issue going to press have centered around three main factors. The first of these was the desire to move on from the Compact Disc and offer increased audio resolution. Thus Sony, the codeveloper of the Compact Disc introduced the Super Audio CD. Using one bit DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology, the early players were expensive and stereo only, therefore the resultant commercial take-up was slow. SACD offered a dual layered disc, nearly identical in size to the standard Compact Disc, but offering the combination of PCM ‘Red Book’ audio on one layer (as experienced 577

578

A PPE ND IX III

on a regular CD) with the identical material recorded and presented in DSD on the second. Whilst this was being presented to the market and around the same time, DVD-Audio emerged. The original concept of DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) was a video and audio platform that would form the cornerstone of home entertainment. The rush to service the video market and the conflicts of interest that arose on the DVD-Audio working group forum meant that the launch of this medium was both delayed and confused. Focussing on 5.1 surround sound as its main selling point, it too offered an increase in resolution that took as its standard, 96 kHz, 24 bit PCM (Pulse-code modulation). Sensing that surround sound might be the more popular option, Sony followed suit and abandoned the stereo only concept for SACD and incorporated a DSD surround component in addition to DSD stereo and CD quality PCM audio. At the time of writing, neither format has convincingly taken hold in the market and in particular DVD-Audio never really got off the ground. A very small number of short-lived Shostakovich DVD-As appeared in 2003–2004 on the Naxos, Arts and the MDG labels. On SACD, there are two cycles of the complete Shostakovich Symphonies on SACD, available from Capriccio and Arts, while a cycle of the complete String Quartets is under way from the Mandelring Quartet on the Audite label. The rise of the internet and the resultant desire to easily share and distribute music files heralds the third factor to influence current audio trends. Large files of Compact Disc size could not be stored and downloaded conveniently and thus MP3, a compression algorithm with roughly one tenth of the resolution of a standard CD, established itself as the pre-eminent format in this respect. Conveniently sized, portable players have become hugely popular and mobile telephones etc. double as MP3 players. With the increase in data transmission speeds, full and increased resolution downloads are gradually beginning to appear using lossless compression algorithms. 2006 saw the first release on the Russian RMG label of a series of inexpensive MP3 discs (MPEG Audio Layer 3) devoted to the music of Shostakovich. Each disc, seven of which had been released by the end of 2008, plays for between four and five hours, and features mono and stereo recordings from the Melodiya catalogue with artists including Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, Yevgeni Mravinsky, Svyatoslav Richter and the Borodin Quartet.

Appendix IV FOUR SPECIAL USSR RECORDINGS

(1) In 1967 Melodiya issued a 54-minute mono 12" LP record numbered D020515-6, entitled Dmitri Shostakovich—Monograph, with biographical details by Lev Danilevich and read by Pavel Massalsky. This contains uncredited excerpts from the following eleven works: Op. 10, First Symphony (first movement to fig. 12 ⫹ 3 bars) Op. 33, Counterplan (‘Song of the Counterplan’, for chorus and orchestra) Op. 114, Katerina Izmailova (‘In the very depths of the forest there is a lake’ from Act 4, sung by Eleonora Andreyeva) Op. 88 No. 6, ‘The Ninth of January’ (the theme used in the following work) Op. 103, Eleventh Symphony (second movement from fig. 28 to 44) Op. 47, Fifth Symphony (fourth movement coda from fig. 128) Op. 57, Piano Quintet (fourth movement complete played by the composer and the Beethoven Quartet) Op. 60, Seventh Symphony (fourth movement coda from fig. 202 and first movement fig. 33 to 36 ⫹ 9 bars) Op. 65, Eighth Symphony (third movement from fig. 86 to bar 3 of the Largo) Op. 80, Meeting on the Elbe (‘Song of Peace’, for male chorus and orchestra) Op. 93, Tenth Symphony (second movement complete). (2) A sixteen-minute telephone conversation between David Oistrakh and the composer, taped by the violinist on 15 October 1967, concerning rehearsal of the Second Violin Concerto, Opus 129, was released in 1976 on Melodiya C10 06907-8. The conversation is coupled with a reissue of Oistrakh’s performance of the concerto. (3) Melodiya issued a Shostakovich commemorative collection of 56 records in ten boxes over the four-year period 1977–80. Twenty-seven records cover the 579

580

A PPE ND IX IV

symphonic, choral, and film music, and the ballet suites; seventeen are devoted to the chamber and instrumental compositions, and twelve to the two operas and the song cycles. These are mostly reissues, many of them long-deleted recordings, though following the defection to the West of certain conductors and performers, several records were promptly withdrawn from the boxes and subsequently replaced by new performances. The compiler was disinclined to note all these substitutions and catalogues only those records contained in the box sets in his own collection. (4) In October 1979 Melodiya issued a box, Dmitri Shostakovich Speaks, containing four records numbered M40 41705-12 (announced in the 1980 first quarter catalogue). The first and third records are devoted to Items 1 and 12 respectively. The playing time of the set totals 3 hrs 4 min. This collection includes fifteen talks here listed in chronological order: 2. Excerpt from a radio address, Leningrad, 16 September 1941. 3. Speech at the International Peace Gathering, 4 September 1954. 1. A talk delivered to the Young Composers’ Section of the Union of Soviet Composers, May 1955. 14. Interview with Witold Rudzinsky about the Warsaw Autumn Festival, Warsaw, September 1959. 6. Some words on the Twelfth Symphony, 10 January 1962. 5. Speech at the opening ceremony of the Second International Tchaikovsky Competition, 1 April 1962. 13. Account of the Edinburgh Festival to the Union of Soviet Composers, 15 October 1962. 4. Interview about the creative plans of the composer, 2 September 1963. 9. On the 125th anniversary of Tchaikovsky’s birth, Bolshoi Theatre, 7 May 1965. 7. Some words on the Fourteenth Symphony, 21 June 1969. 10. My work in the cinema, radio interview, 1971. 15.

Appendix VII ABANDONED PROJECTS AND OBSCURE WORKS

Further information is awaited on the following compositions and productions. Details of developments and important new recordings will be submitted to the DSCH Journal. Piano Sonata in B flat minor: this composition of late 1923 destroyed by the composer. Two Fragments for Orchestra: an ‘Intermezzo’ and ‘Allegro’ were composed in 1927. The manuscript was lost but the work was reconstructed from memory through Yuri Nikolsky in 1946. Battleship Potemkin: on 30 March 1930 Shostakovich declined an offer to write an opera on this subject for the Bolshoi Theatre. [Oles Chishko wrote the opera in 1937.] The Carp: in the spring of 1930 an opera on the piscine subject of an underwater society, after a short verse by Nikolai Oleinikov, was seriously considered. The Concrete Sets: in 1931 the composer wrote that he had signed a contract for a film of this title to be produced by Aleksandr Macheret for the Moscow Film Studios. The Negro: an operetta of this name, with lyrics by Boris (?) Gusman and Anatoli Mariengof, was also mentioned in 1931 as a signed contract. New Year Madrigal: a humorous madrigal composed in December 1933 for New Year celebrations. Volume 93 of New Collected Works will contain Two Madrigals for tenor soloist and piano. Mother: Mikhail Bulgarov prepared a libretto, based on Maksim Gorky’s novel, for Shostakovich in the 1930s. [Tikhon Khrennikov filled the breach in 1957.] Orango: an opera commissioned by the Bolshoi Theatre in the early 1930s, about a half-man/half-ape who became the General Secretary of the Party, was discovered by Olga Digonskaya in the Shostakovich Family Archive in 2006. The anonymous libretto and abandoned manuscript piano score of the 1st Act was orchestrated by Gerard McBurney in 2008/09. 587

Ankara—Heart of Turkey: a documentary film, with scenario by Leo Arnshtam and directed by Sergei Yutkevich, was made by the Lenfilm Studio in 1934. The background music was from works by Shostakovich. Twelve Preludes for String Quartet: a suite for Bassoon and String Orchestra, a String Quartet, a Violin Concerto, various vocal works, and a ‘Dance Suite for Jazz’ were planned in 1934 though apparently only the last-named materialized. However, Twelve Preludes for String Quartet were composed while writing the film score for The Girl Friends, Opus 41(ii) in late 1934 or during 1935 but a number of these are believed to have been lost with several other works in the bombing of the Leningrad Film Studio in 1941. According to John Riley’s notes for the première recording, Leo Arnshtam’s claim that twelve preludes were scored ‘is probably a case of misremembering (there are a few cases in his memoirs)’. Liluli: plans were made in April 1936 to compose incidental music for Romain Rolland’s drama. Volochayevka Days: many fragments and episodes written in 1937 for an opera to a libretto by N. Ya. Bersenev. See also Opus 48. Lenin Symphony: on 15 April 1938 Shostakovich started work on a monumental choral symphony dedicated to Lenin. This symphony, scored for soloists, chorus, and orchestra, was inspired by Vladimir Mayakovsky’s poem Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and was to have included verses from folk poets Suleiman Stalsky and Dzhambul Dzhabayev. Progress reports were published on 20 September and 20 November 1938 but the manuscript was laid aside and the Sixth Symphony, Opus 54, commenced on 15 April 1939. The Twelve Chairs: Rena Moisenko (1949) and Gerald Abraham (1943) mentioned that Shostakovich had written an operetta in 1937 and 1940 respectively, based on the comedy by Ilya Ilf and Yevgeni Petrov. The rough draft of this three-act operetta, with libretto by Petrov and the poet, V. Vladimirov, was abandoned in 1938. Lermontov: a contract was drawn up on 3 June 1938 to compose music for a ballet on the poet’s life for Leningrad’s Kirov Ballet. A Hero of Our Time: Vsevolod Meyerhold prepared an opera libretto, based on Mikhail Lermontov’s short story, for Shostakovich in June 1938. Masquerade: Shostakovich wrote on 20 November 1938 that he intended to compose an opera on Lermontov’s drama after he had completed his ‘Lenin Symphony’. [Aram Khachaturyan provided incidental music in 1941.] Romance: a song for voice and piano, with lyric by Heinrich Heine, written in 1938 or 1941 but not found in the composer’s papers. Piano Fugues: a number of fugues of the 1930s will be published in Volume 111 of New Collected Works. The People’s Poet: another projected opera, based on a Turkmenian story.

Second Symphony: Fridrikh Ermler invited Shostakovich to write music for his film in 1940. The Heroic Defenders of Moscow: an oratorio apparently abandoned in mid-1943 when the composer commenced work on the Eighth Symphony. Katyushka Maslova: on 17 March 1979 Pravda reported that several rough music sheets of a projected opera, based on Leo Tolstoy’s novel Resurrection and drafted in Shostakovich’s thirties, were discovered by Sofya Khentova in the archives of the Glinka Museum, Moscow. Anatoli Mariengof provided the libretto and a contract was concluded on 14 October 1940. Sonata for Violin and Piano: this newly discovered instrumental work of 1945 will be published in Volume 107 of New Collected Works. Three Pieces for Orchestra: this work was written in 1947–8 and originally given the opus number 77. It exists in manuscript form. War and Peace: Shostakovich prepared the full score of Prokofiev’s opera music for publication. This volume and the vocal score (by Levon Atovmyan) were published in 1958. Fifty Russian Folksongs: in 1959 the composer selected fifty songs from Count Vladimir Odoyevsky’s collection of Russian folksongs with the intention of arranging them in the manner of his Ten Russian Folksongs, Sans op. Q. Blossoms: a one-act ballet performed at the Leningrad Malyi Opera Theatre on 20 October 1961, directed by Vladimir Varkovitsky, was based on existing waltzes and speciality numbers of Shostakovich. The ballet was repeated the following year at the Gorky Theatre of Opera and Ballet by Lyubov Serebrovskaya-Gryuntal and in Sverdlovsk by E. Dorofeyev. Children’s Quartet: in January 1962 Shostakovich wrote that he expected to finish his ‘Ninth Quartet, a children’s quartet, about toys and playing’ in two weeks. However, in a letter to Isaak Glikman dated 18 November 1961, he stated that he had already burnt this manuscript. His Opus 117 Ninth Quartet was composed in May 1964. Directive Little Bow: Konstantin Boyarsky’s one-act ballet included in the Leningrad Malyi Theatre of Opera and Ballet 1962 season, with The Young Lady and the Hooligan. And Quiet Flows the Don: in August 1964 the composer wrote that he was about to embark upon an opera based on the third and fourth books of Mikhail Sholokhov’s And Quiet Flows the Don while resting at a home by Lake Balaton, Hungary. The libretto was completed by late May 1965 and a start made on composing the music. He expected to devote ‘the whole of 1966 and even some of 1967’ to the opera. The Zhdanov Decree: Solomon Volkov mentions an unpublished satirical vocal work mocking the anti-formalism campaign of 1948 (Testimony, 1979, 111 and 223). The implications of this infamous conference was the inspiration of David Pownall’s play Master Class, premièred at the Haymarket, Leicester,

on 24 January 1983. David Bamber played Shostakovich; Peter Kelly, Prokofiev; Timothy West, Stalin, and Jonathan Adams, Zhdanov. Décor was by Martin John and the producer, Justin Greene. See Antiformalist Rayok, Sans op. X(ii). Yevgeni Onegin: music for a spectacle written in 1964 and produced by Nikolai Akimov, premièred at the Leningrad Theatre of Drama and Comedy in January 1965. The piano score and orchestral parts preserved at the Leningrad (Kirov) Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The Black Monk: Volkov states that an opera based on Anton Chekhov’s story of 1893 was considered in the 1970s. Shostakovich intended to incorporate Gaetano Braga’s once popular song, ‘A Maiden’s Prayer’, which plays an important part in the story. This song, with lyric by M. Marcello (originally Leggenda valacca for voice with cello or violin obbligato), was also arranged as an instrumental salon piece under the name La Serenata or, in English, ‘Angel’s Serenade’. See under Sans op. X(i) with the reference to Olga Digonskaya’s article listing the three original draft versions for the opera. Envoys of Eternity: Boris Schwarz mentions a film score, Poslanniky vechnosty, written in 1970, under the catalogue of works in Volume 17 of The New Grove. This film, directed by Todor Vulfovich for Mosfilm, was released on 29 March 1971. The score was compiled from various works of Shostakovich. Yelabuga Nail: a setting for bass and piano of Yevgeni Yevtushenko’s poem about the suicide of Marina Tsvetayeva in 1941 composed, according to Isaak Glikman, in the spring of 1971. Crossroads: M. Mnatsakanyan, Petrozavod Musical-Dramatic Theatre, 1971. A one-act ballet, Perekryostok, A one-act ballet using music of Shostakovich, Handel, Bartók, and others. St Petersburg Days: score commenced for Grigori Kozintsev’s film, based on Nikolai Gogol’s stories, left unfinished on the director’s death in 1973. Three Aphorisms: a ballet performed in 1974. Torments of Conscience: Yevgeni Yevtushenko wrote the first poem for a projected vocal symphony following his collaboration on the Thirteenth Symphony. Sixteenth Symphony: two movements reported to have been composed in 1974-5. See the orchestrated version of Suite on Verses of Michelangelo, Opus 145. The Portrait: an opera on Gogol’s story started in May 1975 was completed by Mieczysław Weinberg. The première took place in the Janácˇek Opera House, Brno on 20 May 1983. The libretto was written for Shostakovich by Aleksandr Medvedev. Wedding Procession: a ballet prepared for the Leningrad Ballet Troupe ‘Choreographic Miniatures’ by Leonid Yakobson in 1975, based on paintings by Marc Chagall. Restaged in 1990 by a modern dance company, the Malyi Ballet of the Kirov Theatre.

In the Name of Life: a ballet performed to the music of Andrei Shtogarenko, Boris Lyatoshinsky, and Shostakovich choreographed by Anatoli Shikero for the Ukrainian Theatre of Opera and Ballet, Kiev in 1975. Choreographic Novella: a ballet set to the music of Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Poulenc, Tchaikovsky, Rossini, and Purcell, choreographed by Dmitri Bryantsev and performed at the Leningrad Kirov Theatre in 1977. The Idiot: a ballet by Valeri Panov, based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel The Idiot of 1868–9 and staged on 15 June 1979 by the Deutsche Oper Ballet, West Berlin, used music of Shostakovich (not specified in The Guinness Guide to Ballet by Oleg Kerensky, Guinness Superlatives Ltd., 1981). This three-and-a-half-hour ballet used extracts from the symphonies; Hamlet film score, Opus 116, and several other works. Strictly Business: choreographed by Philip Taylor for Nederlands Dans Theater 2, under the guidance of Jirˇí Kylián, and performed at Glasgow’s Theatre Royal, July 1988. This lively ‘satire on yuppie efficiency and office sex’ uses a medley of music from Pink Floyd and Boys Town groups, and Shostakovich. Narodnaya Volya (‘The People’s Will’): an unfinished black comedy, based on a terrorist organisation, found in the Shostakovich Archives in 2006. In addition to the above, several minor works are preserved at the Glinka Museum and mentioned in Meskhishbili’s 1996 Catalogue but not fully indexed in this present volume. These include an undated ‘Galop and Lullaby’ for orchestra (piano score and unfinished full score); an undated piece for piano entitled ‘Chik-achi’ (rough draft autograph); the famous Russian folk song collected by Mili Balakirev in 1860 ‘Song of the Volga Boatman’ (Ei, ukhnem! translated in New Collected Works Catalogue as ‘Hey, Let’s Bang!’) arranged— probably in 1929—for bass voice and large symphony orchestra (a manuscript copy); and an undated reduction for piano four hands of the second movement, marked ‘Andante in F sharp major’ of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 10 (two examples—one unfinished). In the early 1920s Shostakovich orchestrated Franz Schubert’s Funeral March in F major and two movements from Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas: the Adagio cantabile of No. 8 ‘Pathetique’ Opus 13 and the first movement of No. 32 Opus 111. The autographs of these three scores are preserved at the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (TsGALI). These are scheduled to appear in Volume 146 of New Collected Works. The following doubtful or erroneously attributed compositions are not indexed: Lead Soldiers: a ballet staged by Yevgeni Vakhtangov (1883–1922) for the Bat public cabaret, Moscow, was stated by Marc Slonim (1963) to be set

to specially composed music of Shostakovich. The ballet was performed around the year 1920 when the composer was only twelve years old. Genu in Pilae: Malcolm MacDonald in the second edition of his catalogue mentions a film score of this title composed in 1932: ‘The ascription of this to Shostakovich is not certain, though circumstantially strong. The music survives in a copyist’s score. The original print of the film was destroyed on Stalin’s orders, though it has recently been restored from fragments (which include some sound-track).’ The movements are Prelude, Fanfare, Scene, two Dances, Intermezzo, Fugal Dance, and Postlude. The small orchestra includes harp, celesta, piano, and balalaika. In the 1990s Malcolm MacDonald learned that he was the victim of a practical joke (not meant for him) in Boosey & Hawkes Hire Library, where someone constructed a spoof work card that subsequently appeared in the Shostakovich card index. The title means ‘A Knee in the Balls’. Lenin in October: The Oxford Companion to Film by Liz-Anne Bawden lists this film of 1937 (not 1934) as having a film score by Shostakovich. The music was composed by Anatoli Nikolayevich Aleksandrov. The Wayfarer: the second supplement of WERM incorrectly lists ‘The Song of the Wayfarer’ from this film (score by Isaak Dunayevsky) under Shostakovich’s name. This item is also listed as a Shostakovich work in Meyer (1980). March of the Red Army: Andrey Olkhovsky (1955) states that a march of this title was written in collaboration with Aram Khachaturyan. This is most probably the joint composition submitted as a new Soviet national anthem in 1944. Don Quixote: this ballet, attributed to Shostakovich in Ballet Music—an Introduction by Humphrey Searle (Cassell, London, 1958), has music by Nikolas Nabokov. War and Peace: the score for this epic film of 1967 is quoted as being by Shostakovich in The Filmgoer’s Companion by Leslie Halliwell (MacGibbon & Kee, London, 1970), whereas it was composed by Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov. Still not corrected in Halliwell’s Who’s Who in the Movies (HarperCollins, London, 13th edn. 1999). Othello and The Golden Key. Everyman’s Dictionary of Music: ed. Sir Jack Westrup (Dent, London, 5th edn. 1977), mentions incidental music to Shakespeare’s Othello and a ballet The Golden Key.

Appendix VIII DSCH—THE COMPOSER’S MONOGRAM; COMPOSITIONS BASED ON DSCH BY OTHER HANDS AND TRIBUTES

Shostakovich’s full name in Russian is fÇÃÍËÃÄ fÇÃÍËÃÀ½ÃÒ zocÍaÅo½ÃÒ and this usually appears in English transliteration as Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich. His first name is sometimes written as Dmitrii, Dmitry, or Dimitri and his surname, Shostakovitch [EMI, alone among the major recording companies, persisted in this surname spelling until February 1979]. The composer, when he printed his name, used the form ‘D. Schostakovich’. When the compiler first encountered the composer’s name in print in 1942, on the album and LP records of Stokowski’s recording of the Fifth Symphony, it was spelt Szostakowicz—in Polish! In the Italian language the spelling is Dimitri Sciostakovic; in French, Chostakovitch and in German, Schostakowitsch. The last-named spelling comes in useful in providing the composer with a musical signature. In English musical notation we have the letters A to G (in the treble clef, EGBDF on the lines and FACE in the spaces) and from these a limited number of words can be concocted. The German language is more accommodating for here we have the two additional letters ‘H’ and ‘S’. The note B flat is written ‘B’ while B natural is ‘H’ and E flat is called ‘Es’ and pronounced like the letter ‘S’. Hence the motif BACH is possible, and was used by the composer himself, and by Brahms and Liszt (amongst others). For Shostakovich’s epigram, the composer took his initial ‘D’ and the first three letters of his surname in a hybrid German/English spelling (see the example on Plate 4). Like BACH the DSCH motto does not belong to any key but is probably more fruitful than its famous precursor. Shostakovich introduces his plaintive motto at its original pitch in the third and fourth movements of the Tenth Symphony and it is omnipresent in his Eighth Quartet. He first openly spotlighted it in 1953, though it occurs earlier and possibly unwittingly in Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District pitched a perfect fourth higher with a ‘near miss’ in the Scherzo of the First Violin Concerto of 1947. 593

594

A PPE ND IX VIII

In the Seventh Quartet his initials ‘DS’ are introduced in the very first bar and are featured throughout this work, with DSCH occurring in bars 5 and 6 after fig. 22 at the end of the Lento, albeit disguised in the unfamiliar rhythm of | |. The opening viola phrase of the Fifth Quartet is an anagram of the motto. Inexplicably, the composer introduced a slurred parody of his epigram in the third movement of the Fifteenth Symphony and humorously sets his name, occupation, and nationality to the motto in the brief work with a long title, Opus 123. In July 2005, Tom Watrous of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra discovered the treble clef notes D, E flat, C, and B in the first cello part of the Opus 11, Scherzo at three bars before fig. 17. It is difficult to make out the DSCH motif in the busy string-writing on recordings of the work and its use here in 1925 is almost certainly unintentional. Surprisingly in early 2009, Hilary Nicholls of Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire noticed the notes D, E flat, C, and B appear on first violin in bars 16/17 of the Adagio Introduction to Mozart’s C major String Quartet No. 19, KV465 (the ‘Dissonance’), of 1745. There is a semitone between the first and second notes and the third and fourth, a minor third between the second and third notes, while the complete motto spans a diminished fourth. A number of Shostakovich’s compositions— the First Cello and Second Violin Concertos, Twelfth and Thirteenth Quartets among them—do not feature the monogram but they are saturated with its intervals. After Shostakovich was in trouble with the authorities in 1936, his fellow composer Benjamin Britten composed a Festival Cantata, Opus 30, Rejoice in the Lamb. This setting of words was written in a madhouse by the eighteenthcentury poet, Christopher Smart. The words which concern us are: ‘For the officers of the peace are at variance with me and the watchman strikes me with his staff. For silly fellow, silly fellow is against me.’ The Shostakovich motto is featured prominently and the chorus takes up those four notes for the words ‘silly fellow’. It is surely more than coincidental that when Shostakovich was in disgrace in Russia with ‘officers of the peace’, Britten should introduce this secret message of sympathy. Did, then, Benjamin Britten discover and initiate the use of the DSCH motto in 1943? Later, in 1968, he was to dedicate the church parable, The Prodigal Son, Opus 81, to Shostakovich. Many compositions based on DSCH by other hands, from Witold Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra in 1954 and Ronald Stevenson’s monumental Passacaglia on DSCH of eight years later to Wilfred Joseph’s Testimony: Toccata on DSCH of 1988, along with various memorial tributes to the composer, are mentioned below: The Scottish composer Ronald Stevenson (born in Blackburn but likes to be known as a Scottish composer), greatly moved by Shostakovich’s Eighth

Quartet, Tenth Symphony and First Violin Concerto, composed a monumental Passacaglia on DSCH. Stevenson presented a copy of his 85-minute composition to Shostakovich on 6 September during the 1962 Edinburgh Festival. The première was given by the thirty-five-year-old composer in Cape Town on 10 December 1963. At the 1966 Aldeburgh and Cheltenham Festivals it was performed by John Ogdon, who later recorded the work on HMV ASD 2321-2 (three sides—reviewed G Sept. 1967). The title page of the score, published by Oxford University Press in 1967, is inscribed ‘For Dmitri Shostakovich’. The composer’s own 1987 recording appears on the double album Altarus AIR 2-9090 (G Oct. 1968) and reissued on Compact Disc APR 5650 (two-disc set— reviewed G June 2008). See also the article ‘Ronald Stevenson at 80’ in DSCH Journal No. 20, 71–72 with one of the two photographs showing Shostakovich and Stevenson together at the presentation of the score. A performance by Raymond Clarke was issued on Marco Polo Compact Disc 8.223545 in August 1994 (G Sept. 1995). In his Second Piano Concerto (The Continents) Stevenson includes a fugue on the combined motives of BACH and DSCH, conflicting with Bulgarian rhythms. In 1974 the Union of Soviet Composers commissioned Stevenson to contribute an essay and a short piano piece (again based on DSCH by request) to the Shostakovich Festschrift to be published in 1976 in honour of the Soviet master’s expected seventieth birthday. The title of this short work of Stevenson’s is Recitative and Air for Shostakovich. The composer gave its first broadcast on 25 July 1976 on BBC Radio 3. The piece appears, with twelve others, at the end of the Sovetskii kompozitor’s commemorative volume compiled by Grigori Shneyerson. Although on an altogether different plane to the tributes listed in this section, it is worth mentioning Goddard Lieberson’s amusingly derivative study entitled Shostakovich’s Vacation on a Collective Farm, from his collection of ‘Piano Pieces for Advanced Children or Retarded Adults’, written in 1963. André Previn included this item in a piano recital recorded on American Columbia CMS 6586. One of Malcolm Arnold’s favourite composers was Shostakovich and he quotes the DSCH signature in the second movement funeral march of his Sixth Symphony of 1967, preceded prophetically by the long-note crescendo shrieks that feature in Shostakovich’s Fifteenth Quartet of 1974. Edison Denisov, the Soviet avant-garde composer, wrote a quartet entitled D-S-C-H in 1969. This work for clarinet, trombone, cello, and piano was played by the Warsaw Music Workshop in their concert tour of the south of England, 15–29 October 1978. The score is published by Universal Edition. John Rose composed a ten-minute contrapuntal Essay on DSCH for solo piano in 1970, He has added three further works based on the DSCH motif: the prelude of Prelude and Fugue, Opus 8 and Scherzo-Intermezzo-Toccata—both for organ—and a String Quartet. His organ works (recorded on Cathedral Classic

In 1973 the Glasgow Orchestra Society commissioned a composition for full orchestra from John McLeod, the Aberdeen-born composer, clarinettist, and conductor. The work, with the title The Shostakovich Connection, incorporates a fanfare based on the opening theme of Shostakovich’s Twelfth Quartet, variations on a theme from the Largo of the Fifth Symphony and closes with eight horns whooping glissandi as the rest of the brass blast out the Russian master’s motif. The première, conducted by the composer, was given by the Society in the City Hall, Glasgow, on 12 December 1974 and has been broadcast on Radio Scotland and Radio 3. A professional orchestra—the BBC Scottish Symphony under guest conductor Janos Furst—gave the first public performance in the same hall on 11 January 1977. Shostakovich, in a personal letter to John McLeod, accepted the dedication of the work just before his death. There is frequent reference to the DSCH motto in the first of the two movements of Contrasts, a work written in 1974 by David Morgan. This twenty-twominute study in duality, premièred in London on 2 January 1975, by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Vernon Handley, is available on Lyrita SRCS 97, coupled with Morgan’s Violin Concerto (G May 1978). The distinguished Soviet composer Alfred Garrievich Schnittke composed a Prelude in Memory of Shostakovich at Mark Lubotsky’s request shortly after Shostakovich’s death. The latter half of this six-minute work involves a part for a second violin, which the composer directs can either be prerecorded by the soloist on tape or played off-stage behind a screen. At the point where the second violin enters the cipher BACH is introduced and worked with the all-pervasive DSCH. Hans Sikorski published this work in their Edition No. 2255. The piece was first recorded on Melodiya C10 08753-4 (reissued on HMV Melodiya ASD 3547, G Aug. 1978), coupled with Shostakovich’s Violin Sonata, by Gidon Kremer. This artist gave the British première at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on 5 March 1978. The first British broadcast was given the following day in a live performance by Mark Lubotsky, direct from St John’s, Smith Square, London (see Kholopova and Chigaryova, 99–101). Schnittke’s pianoforte work for six hands, Dedication to I. Stravinsky, S. Prokofiev and D. Shostakovich, composed in 1978, is based on three themes: the ‘Chinese March’ from Stravinsky’s opera The Nightingale; the Humoresque Scherzo for four bassoons, Op. 12 bis of Prokofiev; and the Polka from The Golden Age. The work is recorded on Melodiya C10 15261-2 (reissued on BMG Melodiya Musica Non Grata Compact Disc 74321 56264-2 in 1998). His 20-minute Third Quartet of 1983, in three linked movements, is built on an opening juxtaposition of a double cadence from Roland de Lassus’ Stabat Mater, phrases from Beethoven’s Grosse Fugue, and the DSCH motif. It is available, played by the Britten Quartet, on Gamut LDR Compact Disc 1008.

Valentin Bibik’s Chamber Symphony In Memory of D. D. Shostakovich, Opus 29, written in 1976, opens with the DSCH motto and features two themes from Shostakovich’s Fourteenth Symphony in the fourth movement Commodo. Limpido. The 28-minute symphony is scored for 29 instruments, including an electric organ, with an important part for solo viola in the third movement. Igor Blazhkov conducts a performance of this moving tribute on Melodiya C10 10727-8. The Fifth Symphony of Boris Tishchenko, composed in 1976 and awarded that year’s Glinka Prize, is an impressive memorial to his teacher. The forty-three-minute continuous work is in five sections—Prelude, Dedication, Scherzo, Intermezzo, and Rondo—with the motif DSCH used as a basis of thematic material. Several of Shostakovich’s themes are quoted, notably from the Eighth and Tenth Symphonies in the Scherzo. A Soviet Radio recording, conducted by Maksim Shostakovich, was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on 24 July 1980 and a live performance by the USSR Ministry of Culture Symphony Orchestra under Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, recorded on 22 February 1985, appears on Melodiya C10 25287 005 and Olympia Compact Disc OCD 213. The symphony is analysed in a Soviet paperback by Boris Katz and the full score (No. 766, 29 cm.) published by Sovetskii kompozitor, Leningrad, in 1980. The record is reviewed in G Dec. 1988. The Georgian composer Revaz Gabichvadze’s Fourth Symphony for string orchestra, also composed in 1976, quotes DSCH in the first movement. The movements (Prologue, Romantic Outburst, Funeral Music, Interlude, Recitative, Pathetic Monologue, and Epilogue) of this twenty-four-minute work are played continuously and, as their titles suggest, encapsulate the life of Shostakovich, with the final pages movingly introducing a metronome beating away his dying heartbeats. It has been recorded by the Chamber Orchestra of Georgia under conductor Shavleg Shilakadze on Melodiya C10 13235-6. Another work of 1976 utilizing the DSCH motto in its fabric, the threemovement String Quartet of the Turkmen composer Nury Khalmamedov, was published by Muzyka in 1978. Other compositions entitled In Memory of D. D. Shostakovich, recorded in the USSR, are Tigran Mansuryan’s Concerto for Cello and Orchestra composed in 1976 and Martin Vartazaryan’s Concerto for Cello, both performed by Karine Georgian with the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Khandzhyan, on Melodiya C10 11259-60 and C10 11381-2 respectively; the Ukrainian composer Miroslav Skorik’s Prelude, performed by Nikolai Suk (piano) on C10 11429-30; and Lev Abeliovich’s Vocalise, performed by T. Pechinskaya (mezzo-soprano), and P. Nodel (violin) on C10 12705-6. The Georgian composer Sulkan Tsintsadze’s Ninth Quartet of 1977 also dedicated to the memory of Shostakovich, is performed by the Georgian State Quartet on C10 13645-6. The score was published by Sovetskii kompozitor in 1984

A PPE ND IX VIII

(No. 6809, 29.5 cm).The first movement entitled ‘DSCH’ opens with the motto and is in six continuous ‘episodes’ with the second movement, ‘Epilogue’, marked ‘Largo’ following after a pause. Yuri Falik’s three-movement Fourth Quartet (1976) and Gennadi Banshchikov’s Flute Sonata in four continuous movements (1977) were both recorded in 1981, respectively by the Taneyev Quartet and Valentin Cherenkov with the composer, and available on C10 16409-10. Though neither of these tributes quote Shostakovich themes, both are composed in the spirit of his style and some phrases are near quotes, e.g. the flute toys with the sul ponticello tremolando of the Violin Sonata, Opus 134. Mieczysław Weinberg’s Twelfth Symphony, Opus 114, was recorded at a live concert in the Moscow Conservatory Bolshoi Hall by the Central Television and All-Union Radio Symphony Orchestra under Vladimir Fedoseyev on 12 June 1982 and released on C10 18771 002 (reissued on Russian Disc Compact Disc RDCD 11 010 in 1994). An earlier recording of 1979, performed by the USSR TV and Radio Symphony Orchestra under Maksim Shostakovich, appeared on Olympia Compact Disc OCD 472 in 1994 (reviewed G Nov. 1994). Weinberg’s masterly portrait of Shostakovich, just short of an hour’s duration, is on the whole a lyrical four-movement symphony with many pages of intensely deeply felt music and, though it does not quote directly from his hero’s compositions, several themes, their timbre and treatment are characteristic: e.g. (a) the first Sonata-Allegro movement commences with an aggressive three-note motif reinforced by timpani DDA and AAD strokes punctuating passages approximating to The Execution of Stepan Razin and closing in an eloquent requiem: (b) its themes are transformed for the brilliant Scherzo; (c) the allusion is strengthened in the beautiful Adagio, where the haunting melody on high strings is intoned against a low bass-line; and (d) continuing without a pause into the Rondo Finale’s initial childlike marimba tune, reminiscent of the ‘Immortality’ movement of Shostakovich’s Michelangelo Suite. The full score published by Muzyka (No. 12107, 1983, 29 cm.) requires an orchestra with celesta, harp, and marimba though the percussion is reduced to prominently featured timpani and but two cymbal clashes. See Plate 7 for the title page. Numerous memorial compositions written immediately following Shostakovich’s death reflected the grief of Soviet composers. Among these must be noted an Adagio, Opus 25 No. 1, for string orchestra by the young woman composer, Tatyana Smirnova (written purposefully on 25 September 1975 in Moscow) and published by Sovetskii kompozitor in Pieces for String Quartet, Vol. 3 (No. 4643, 1978, score, 28 cm.); the monumental Second Symphony (1976) of Voronezh composer Mikhail Nosyrev; a cantata Sun and Stone by Lucian Prigozhin; former pupil Yuri Levitin’s Twenty-four Preludes for violin solo (first performed by Boris Gutnikov on 26 September 1976 in the Glinka Malyi Hall, Leningrad); an Epitaph for symphony orchestra by the Odessa composer Yan Friedlin; three pieces for flute, cello, and piano entitled Music in

Memory of Shostakovich by the Armenian composer Ruben Sarkisyan (performed in Yerevan in November 1975); Third String Quartet by Arno Babadzhanyan, also an Armenian, composed in 1975 at the Dilizhan Composers’ Retreat where Shostakovich wrote his Eleventh Quartet, and published by Sovetskii kompozitor in 1979 (throughout there are effects reminiscent of Shostakovich, such as the ending with its striking on the back of the cello with a finger nail, pizzicato glissandi, and closing in double-stopped unison Ds on the violin and viola, finally giving way to a solitary viola D morendo); Poem of Aleksandr Fridlender, who in his time had conducted premières of Symphonies Nos. 5, 6, 8,10, and 14 in the Urals (Poem performed in Sverdlovsk in December 1976 under conductor Valentin Kozhin); The Dowry by Mikhail Bronner, a dramatic legend on Dmitri Kedrin’s long poern and scored for soprano, tenor, baritone, and chamber ensemble (recording C10 13247-8 released in late 1980); and Postludium DSCH by the Kiev composer Valentin Silvestrov, was first performed in Britain by Jane Manning (soprano) and the Bedelian/Wilson/Immelman Piano Trio at the Almeida Theatre Fourth Festival of Contemporary Music and Performances, Islington, on 29 June 1984. A separate paragraph is warranted for Yuri Levitin’s Epitaph on Words of Anna Akhmatova, Opus 89. This thirteen-minute composition for soprano, clarinet, and string quartet is in four continuous movements: ‘Prelude’ (opening with a fragment from the first movement of Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony), ‘Music’ (quoting from the Eighth Symphony toccata and the clarinet theme of the second movement of the Ninth), ‘Fugue’ (an instrumental section again using the Tenth Symphony theme), and ‘Death of a Poet’ (closing quietly with the clarinet melismata from the Largo of the Eighth Symphony). This moving tribute, along with two others of his—the Twenty-four Preludes, Opus 84, already mentioned and the four-minute Prelude D Es CH for organ, Opus 105, written in 1984—appears on C10 21425 005, performed by Lyudmila Belobragina, Ivan Mozgovenko (clarinet), and the Borodin Quartet. The Czech composer Evzhen Zamechnik’s Duet for Violin and Cello (1975), in three movements—Moderato, Allegretto scherzando, and Lento moderato—was performed at the second of Rozhdestventsky’s Martinu˚ cycle concerts on 26 April 1985. The New Zealander Robert Burch composed a nine-minute piece Essay to the Memory of Dmitri Shostakovich, for cello and piano, in 1975. The news of Shostakovich’s death gave the original impulse to the composition of Finnish composer Einar Englund’s Fourth Symphony for Strings and Percussion (1976) though the four-movement work is based not on DSCH but the motif FEGF and the third movement entitled ‘Nostalgia’ quotes from Jean Sibelius’s Tapiola. The 23-minute symphony, recorded a few days either side of New Year’s Day 1981 by the youthful Espoo Chamber Orchestra under Paavo Pohjola, is available on Finlandia FA 329.

The Czech-born Vladimir Tichy’s Cello Concerto, dedicated to the memory of Shostakovich, was written in 1976–7 and recorded at a Prague concert in 1980 on Panton 8110 0145 by Miroslav Petras (cello) and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under Tomas Koutnik. This twenty-five-minute work, cast in two movements (Largo and Presto), is a most impressive and worthy tribute; saturated with Shostakovichian rhythmic patterns, melodic phrases, and instrumental devices. The coupling work, Štepan Lucký’s Concerto for Orchestra (1976)—conducted on the record by Vaclav Neumann—makes extensive use of the DSCH motto. The third movement of the Second String Quartet of the South African composer John Joubert is subtitled ‘In Memoriam DSCH’ and the motif appears at the close. The première of this quartet was given by the Allegri Quartet in Birmingham on 18 February 1978. The motif appears also in his Third Quartet. The young Dutch composer Ed de Boer’s first orchestral piece Homage a Dimitri Shostakovich, Opus 4, written in 1978 has been published by Donemus of Amsterdam. This dichotomous piece (a haunting slow-moving first part, based on the end of ‘Fantastic Dance No. 1’, followed by a lively scherzo with prominent piano role) was originally scored for a student orchestra that contained three horns but no bassoons. A Netherlands broadcast played by the Amsterdam Philharmonic Orchestra under Rudolf van Dristen, timed 9' 35". The work was featured in the 1990 ‘Prom’ season and broadcast on 29 August and 24 December, in a slightly revised form, by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by James Colon. A ten-movement suite Colours, commissioned from a number of composers including David Morgan, Robert Farnon, and Malcolm Williamson, has a second movement by Vic Lewis subtitled ‘Tribute to Shostakovich’. This fine piece (4' 27"), representing the colour ‘Red’, is based on the side drum bolero rhythm of the ‘Leningrad Symphony’s’ first movement with the theme quoting Shostakovich’s initials ‘DS’ and an added B natural. The entire suite, recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Vic Lewis, was released on RCA PL 25123 in 1978. Karl Frederick Miller’s seventeen-minute composition Variations on a Theme by Shostakovich was written as his doctoral dissertation in music at the North Texas State University and completed on 30 July 1977. The theme is from the fourth movement (after fig. 120) of the Fifteenth Symphony and scored for 3 flutes, 3 oboes, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 C trumpets, 3 trombones, harp, harpsichord, piano, percussion, and strings. The work, ‘intended to be something of an orchestral requiem’, has many allusions to Shostakovich in terms of gesture, orchestration, and harmonic structure. Another important work, though not resorting to quotations from Shostakovich compositions, should be mentioned on account of the circumstances

APPEN DIX VIII

of its creation. The Finnish composer Pehr Henrik Nordgren was so shocked and moved on reading the tragic events of Shostakovich’s life in Volkov’s Memoirs, that he concluded his two-movement Second Viola Concerto of 1979 with a lamenting slow movement dedicated to Shostakovich’s memory and entitled Testimony. The young Australian clarinettist/composer Antony Wheeler wrote a slow-moving piece entitled Movement for String Orchestra: In Memoriam Dmitri Shostakovich in 1981. Sofya Khentova mentions further compositions dedicated to Shostakovich in the fourth part of her monograph (348–54). To these may be added Moscow-born Aleksei Nikolayev’s Third Quartet written in 1981. The miniature score of this work in five typically Shostakovichian-named movements (Prelude, Scherzo, Fugue, Pastorale, and Finale) was published by Muzyka in 1986 (No. 13189). The Finale movingly quotes the cello/flute passage (figs. 116–18) from the third movement of the ‘Leningrad Symphony’, the Kuibyshev première of which Nikolayev heard as an eleven-year-old evacuee. The work was recorded in 1982 by the Union of Soviet Composers’ Quartet on Melodiya C10 20789 004. A quote from the Tenth Symphony appears in the North Carolina composer Claude Baker’s The Glass Bead Game of 1982–3, premièred by the Louisville Orchestra under Robert Bernhardt on 11 February 1983 and recorded by the same forces on 29 September 1983 (First Edition Records LS 789). The large symphony orchestra employs a vast and varied percussion battery including exotic crotales, temple blocks, claves, guiro, bamboo wood chimes, and mandoline. In the third movement, ‘Fantasia’, the work of six composers (Dallapiccola, Schoenberg, Vaughan Williams, Shostakovich, Penderecki, and Liszt) combine in an involved collage relating to the famous B-A-C-H motif. The American composer, Christopher Rouse’s Symphony No. 1 of 1983—an extended single-movement Adagio—makes use of the DSCH motive. It is recorded by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under David Zinman on Electra/Nonesuch 9 79230-2. Andrei Eshpai’s Symphony No. 5, composed in 1985 and dedicated to Yevgeni Svetlanov, was recorded at a concert at Moscow Conservatory on 1 April 1986. This impressive and intensely-moving 28-minute continuous composition quotes DSCH after a war episode based on a boisterous German march. The performance appears on Melodiya C10 28541 006. Nebojša Živkovcˇ’s composition entitled Ctrax-Strah, written in 1987, is a solo for percussion with three tape-recorded interruptions of speeches by Shostakovich and six Russian words declaimed by the performer. The instruments used are vibraphone, various drums, cymbals, temple blocks, and alpine bells. The speeches are the radio announcement from besieged Leningrad on 16 September 1941 and two excerpts from the Association of Soviet Composers meeting held in the Kremlin on 2 April 1974. The six words are ‘Fear’,

602

‘Death’, ‘Life’, ‘Fatherland’, ‘People’, and ‘Party’. The eleven-minute work has been published (Edition Moeck No. 5362) and recorded by the composer on German Compact Disc Cadenza CAD D 878-8 An unusual tribute by Vladislav Uspensky entitled Dedication to Courage—a poem for orchestra subtitled ‘In memory of the first performance of Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony in besieged Leningrad’—is recorded by the Leningrad Orchestra of Old and Modern Music under Eduard Serov on Melodiya C10 24485 007 (I 1987c). The Opus 122 of the English composer Wilfred Josephs is a four-minute organ piece Testimony: Toccata on DSCH (in Memory of a Great Man) and appears as the final item on a 1988 record of ‘Shostakovich’s Greatest Hits’, Trax Classique TRXLP and CD 131, performed by Robert Munns, on the organ of Bath Abbey. This chapter was becoming, in the words of a second edition reviewer, likened to train-spotting, and as the DSCH phrase continues—and will continue in the 21st century—to be incorporated in musical compositions as a tribute to the great Russian composer, 1988 seems a convenient year to close the listing.

Appendix IX SPELLINGS

In most cases of words in the Cyrillic language, the compiler has returned to the Russian source and made his own transliteration so as not to lose the advantage of reversibility—hence ‘Aleksandr’ and ‘Maksim’, though two films of the Maxim Trilogy retain this spelling of Maksim as they were so billed in the West. Exceptions to this procedure had to be made where after continued general usage incorrect deviations have been universally accepted and to change them would seem disturbingly unfamiliar and affect alphabetical indexing. These include ‘Tchaikovsky’ (Pyotr, but not Andrè, or Boris). In other cases the Cyrillic letter ‘Ò’ appears as ‘ch’, apart from for the conductor Markevitch who preferred the form ‘tch’. Transliterations are useful for pronunciation purposes but annoying when one wishes to translate libretti with the aid of a Russian dictionary. With the help of the middle column of the chart it is possible to transliterate with fair accuracy to the original Russian. Since 1991 the Ukrainian form of place names has been adopted, hence ‘Kiev’ changed to ‘Kyiv’. Dates prior to 1991 retain the spelling ‘Kiev’. The World’s unrivalled authority on classical music since 1923 The Gramophone dropped the definite article of its title from June 1969 to October 2004 but this was restored in November 2004.

About the Author

Derek Hulme was born in Manchester in 1924 but soon moved to Cheshire and later Derbyshire where he was educated at Derby School of Art. He played trumpet in dance bands and worked as a designer in a jet engine factory, thus being exempt from military service (though serving in the Home Guard as an anti-aircraft gunner). In 1963 he moved to Ross-shire with his Aberdonian wife and three sons to start Highland Safaris, the first British wildlife tour business, with his brother-in-law Allister Brebner.

In late 1943 he bought Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony on six long-playing records. This album started him collecting music scores, press cuttings, and records of the composer. He visited the Soviet Union in five consecutive years for Melodiya records, Russian scores, and music books. He decided to compile a list of Shostakovich's compositions but there were many opus numbers for which no information could be found so a letter to the composer was posted. 783

A B O U T THE A U THOR

He kindly returned the list with the missing details added along with notes on his latest works. The first edition of a privately published catalogue sold quickly. With favourable reviews and reports from Shostakovich enthusiasts and encouragement from the composer's widow, a second edition was published in 1991 by Oxford University Press. Aberdeen University sponsored a series of music lectures, the first titled ‘Shostakovich—the Twentieth Century Beethoven’ and was followed by invitations to speak at Shostakovich symposia: La Scala, Milan in 1996; Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in 2000; and Fitzwilliam University, Cambridge in 2006. The third edition of the Shostakovich Catalogue was published by Scarecrow Press in 2002.
