Question: The first movement of the most vast and dramatic of Dimitry Kabalevsky's three sonatas has been compared to a symphony that was dedicated by is composer to what city?  

<P0-S0>  It is the most vast and dramatic of Kabalevsky's three sonatas. <P0-S1>  A War Sonata such as Sergei Prokofiev's trilogy, its first movement has been compared to that of Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7. <P0-S2> Dmitry Kabalevsky's Piano Sonata No. 2 in E flat major, Op. 45 was composed in 1945 and dedicated to Emil Gilels. <SEP> <P1-S0> Héroïde funèbre , S. 102, is a symphonic poem written by Franz Liszt in 1850 and published in 1857 as No. 8. <P1-S1>  The work originated as the first movement of a planned "Revolutionary Symphony" inspired by the July Revolution. <P1-S2>  Liszt pays homage in this programmatic symphonic poem to the soldiers and men that died fighting in revolutionary efforts. <P1-S3>  The composition of this piece was started in 1830 as a brief sketch for a full symphony, but was dropped by Liszt in the continuing of other works. <P1-S4>  However, in 1848, there was an uprising in Liszt's home country of Hungary. <P1-S5>  One of Liszt's friends was killed during this revolution, which caused Liszt to revisit his now 20 year old sketch of the Revolutionary Symphony, shortening it and forming the first movement into the commemorative Héroïde funèbre. <P1-S6>  Liszt said of the program, "In these successive wars and carnages, sinister sports, whatever be the colours of the flags which rise proudly and boldly against each other, on both sides they float soaked with heroic blood and inexhaustible tears. <P1-S7>  It is for Art to throw her ennobling veil over the tomb of the brave, to encircle with her golden halo the dead and dying, that they may be the envy of the living." <SEP> <P2-S0> The Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5 of Johannes Brahms was written in 1853 and published the following year. <P2-S1>  The sonata is unusually large, consisting of five movements, as opposed to the traditional three or four. <P2-S2>  When he wrote this piano sonata, the genre was seen by many to be past its heyday. <P2-S3>  Brahms, enamored of Beethoven and the classical style, composed Piano Sonata No. 3 with a masterful combination of free Romantic spirit and strict classical architecture. <P2-S4>  As a further testament to Brahms' affinity for Beethoven, the Piano Sonata is infused with the instantly recognizable motive from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 during the first, third, and fourth movements. <P2-S5>  Composed in Düsseldorf, it marks the end of his cycle of three sonatas, and was presented to Robert Schumann in November of that year; it was the last work that Brahms submitted to Schumann for commentary. <P2-S6>  Brahms was barely 20 years old at its composition. <P2-S7>  The piece is dedicated to Countess Ida von Hohenthal of Leipzig. <SEP> <P3-S0> Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 60 (titled Leningrad), was written c. 1939–40. <P3-S1>  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. <P3-S2>  The work remains one of Shostakovich's best-known compositions.
