Weake
ned by a series of
chronic illnesses and
aware of his impending
death, Shostakovich looks
back on his life in
Symphony No.15 inA major,
op.141. The work opens
with cheerful
reminiscences from his
youth, featuring
quotations from his early
works and allusions to
Rossini. But already by
the second movement, a
funeral march rich with
self-quotation, the mood
changes. In the cantabile
movement which follows,
one hears the murmuring
ghosts of the past. With
echoes of Richard Wagner,
the eerie finale
ultimately instructs the
listener to remain
fearful through its
crumbling tonality. This
volume is part of the
revised and corrected new
edition of all 15
symphonies by Dmitri
Shostakovich published by
Boosey & Hawkes and
Sikorski as large format
study scores for optimal
legibility. All scores
and the related
orchestral parts have
been newly computer
typeset, and the
orchestral parts are also
compatible for
performance use with
scores in “The New
Collected Works of
DmitriShostakovichâ€
