Title: Shostakovich symphonies and concertos
Description: "In Shostakovich Symphones and Concertos acclaimed author David Hurwitz describes the musical elements of that language: what is sounds like, how it works expressively, as opposed to providing a mere technical analysis. In this first book of its kind, Hurwitz closely examines fifteen Shostakovich symphonies and six concertos in chronological order, offering a descriptive guided tour of the music as it unfolds in real time, revealing its genius and how it fits in the tradition of Western classical music."--Jacket.
