Sofia Moshevich (Hebrew: סופיה מושביץ'‎ ‎ ; born 1949) is a Ukrainian-born pianist, teacher and researcher who lived in Moscow, Jerusalem and Johannesburg before emigrating to Canada where she now lives in Toronto.
 Since the early 1970s, she has taken a special interest in the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, making a careful analysis of his recorded performances as a pianist.
 Two books document the results of her work: "Dmitri Shostakovich, Pianist" and "Shostakovich's Music for Piano Solo, Interpretation and Performance".
 She also contributed a chapter on piano music to "A Shostakovich Companion", edited by Michael Mishra.
The "Dmitriy Shostakovich" class is a class of seven ro-pax ferries of project B-492/B-493 originally built by Stocznia Szczecinska im Adolfa Warskiego Warskiego in Szczecin, Poland and used by the Soviet shipping companies, Black Sea Shipping Company, Estonian Shipping Company, Baltic Shipping Company and Far Eastern Shipping Company, as ferries and passenger/cruise ships.
 The class is named after the first ship in the class "Dmitriy Shostakovich", which in her turn was named after Dmitri Shostakovich.
La grand'tante (The great-aunt) is an opéra comique in one act by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Jules Adenis and Charles Grandvallet.
 It was first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 3 April 1867.
 Though not the first opera composed by Massenet, it was the first of his stage works to be mounted on the stage.
 The work consists of an overture followed by six vocal numbers (solos, duets and a final trio) with spoken dialogue in between.
The War Symphonies: Shostakovich Against Stalin (sometimes titled Shostakovich Against Stalin: The War Symphonies) is a 1997 documentary film about Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich.
 It focuses on the period between 1936 and 1945, during which Shostakovich composed his Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Symphonies, but also briefly discusses other works in the composer's oeuvre, such as his "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District.
Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 60 (titled Leningrad), was written c. 1939–40.
 Initially dedicated to the life and deeds of Vladimir Lenin, Shostakovich decided instead to dedicate the symphony to the city of Leningrad on its completion in December 1941.
 The work remains one of Shostakovich's best-known compositions.
Shostakovich Peninsula is an ice-covered peninsula lying north of Stravinsky Inlet and extending into Bach Ice Shelf in southern Alexander Island, Antarctica.
 The peninsula was first mapped by Directorate of Overseas Surveys from satellite imagery of Antarctica supplied by U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in cooperation with U.S. Geological Survey.
 Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Dmitri Shostakovich, Russian composer (1906-1975).
 Shostakovich Peninsula is one of the eight peninsulas of Alexander Island.
Massenet Festival ("Festival Massenet") is a biennale festival of music by French composer, Jules Massenet held in Saint-Étienne, France, close to the area where the composer was born.
 The first Massenet Festival took place in November 1990 when the opera "Cléopâtre" and the oratorio "La Vierge" were presented.
 In recent years, performances have been given in the Grand Théâtre Massenet, one of the theatres of the Opéra Théâtre de Saint-Etienne, and formerly known as L'Esplanade.
Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich (Russian: Dmitriy Dmitrievich Shostakovich , ] ; 25 September [O.S. 12 September] 1906 9 August 1975) was a Russian composer and pianist.
 He is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century.
Jules Émile Frédéric Massenet (] ; 12 May 184213 August 1912) was a French composer of the Romantic era best known for his operas, of which he wrote more than thirty.
 The two most frequently staged are "Manon" (1884) and "Werther" (1892).
 He also composed oratorios, ballets, orchestral works, incidental music, piano pieces, songs and other music.
Dmitri Shostakovich composed his Symphony No. 4 in C minor, Opus 43, between September 1935 and May 1936, after abandoning some preliminary sketch material.
 In January 1936, halfway through this period, "Pravda"—under direct orders from Joseph Stalin—published an editorial "Muddle Instead of Music" that denounced the composer and targeted his opera "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk".
 Despite this attack, and despite the oppressive political climate of the time, Shostakovich completed the symphony and planned its premiere for December 1936 in Leningrad.
 After rehearsals began, the orchestra's management cancelled the performance, offering a statement that Shostakovich had withdrawn the work.
 He may have agreed to withdraw it to relieve orchestra officials of responsibility.
 The symphony was premiered on 30 December 1961 by the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra led by Kirill Kondrashin.
