Spotlight: Shostakovich, Symphony No. 10 in E Minor
Today we'll be playing a variety of music, but the spotlight of the show will be an explanation and discussion of Shostakovich's 10th Symphony in E Minor. Known for its "Stalin Scherzo," this is arguably Shostakovich's greatest symphony and is a great example of his masterful use of thematic interrelation in his symphonies.
