Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) has a reputation as one of the leading composers of the twentieth century. This collection of essays goes far in expanding the traditional purview of Shostakovich's world, exploring the composer's creativity and art in terms of the expectations--historical, cultural, and political--that forged them.The collection contains documents that appear for the first time in English.
