Dmitri Shostakovich: 'Gavotte' (2 flutes).

   • willie-whistleblower   The second movement Gavotte from the 'Three Violin Duets'. The marking is: 'Tranquillo, molto leggiero'. With parental consent. Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich (September] 1906 – 9 August 1975) was a Russian composer and pianist[ who became internationally known after the premiere of his First Symphony in 1926 and was regarded throughout his life as a major composer. Shostakovich rose to fame during the Soviet era, but his career was badly damaged by his complex and fraught relationship with Joseph Stalin, who initially had a high opinion of his work, but later became disillusioned. During the early years of the great purge, Stalin saw him as part of a modernist intellectual conspiracy and Shostakovich's 1934 opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk drew a scathing review from the Soviet government, placing his life and career at risk. In 1948 his work was denounced under the Zhdanov Doctrine, after which his professional and personal reputation suffered for several years. After his censure was rescinded in 1956, performances of his music remained subject to state interventions, as with his Thirteenth Symphony (1962). He was a member of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR (1947) and the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union from 1962 until his death, and was chairman of the RSFSR Union of Composers (1960–1968). Over the course of his career, he earned several important awards, including the Order of Lenin, from the Soviet government. Shostakovich's work combines a variety of musical techniques, and is characterized by sharp contrasts, elements of the grotesque, and ambivalent tonality; he was also heavily influenced by neoclassicism and the late Romanticism of Gustav Mahler. His orchestral works include 15 symphonies and six concerti (two each for piano, violin and cello). His chamber output includes 15 string quartets, a piano quintet, and two piano trios. His solo piano works include two sonatas, an early set of 24 preludes, and a later set of 24 preludes and fugues. Stage works include three completed operas and three ballets. Shostakovich also wrote several song cycles and a substantial quantity of music for theatre and film. Shostakovich's reputation has grown since his death, although there remains considerable debate about the relationship between his music and attitude towards the Soviet government. Addendum: an informed viewer has remonstrated that: Under Stalin, Shostakovich was humiliated, but under him he received high honours. It's not about Stalin, your two-dimensional pictures are nonsense; Shostakovich is a brilliant composer, and you reduce him to an object of relations with the Soviet authorities. Step back a little from your propaganda - but you won't be able to, you will repeat what is considered the truth in your system. _____________________________________________________________ With regard to young people (including talented young musicians), what has the UK lost by leaving Erasmus+? ("Erasmus" is an acronym for European Region Action Scheme ) Following Brexit, withdrawing from Erasmus+ has already had negative consequences for students, young professionals, scholars, and universities in the U.K.. The cultural and intellectual consequences of the decision are obvious. Thousands of students can no longer experience other cultures, learn to communicate in other languages, or strengthen their sense of European identity through Erasmus+. Many Erasmus+ alumni regard the experience as one of the most formative in their lives, having led to career changes, relocation, and even marriages. These opportunities are no longer available to many in the U.K., particularly those that already come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The loss of the program also severs key partnerships between European and British researchers and universities, limiting intellectual collaboration across the channel. The consequences of the decision for career growth also are significant. According to the latest Erasmus+ annual report, the program has been successful in many ways: *In 2019 alone, almost 1 million young people participated in the program as students, trainees (largely for vocational training) or volunteered at more than 100,000 organizations. *Employers regarded Erasmus+ exchange participants as better equipped to enter the workforce. *Over two-thirds of students report had a better sense of their long-term career goals after profiting from study abroad through Erasmus+.
