Product Description
The piano works of Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975) are among the most treasured musical compositions of the 20th century. In this volume, pianist and Russian music scholar Sofia Moshevich provides detailed interpretive analyses of the ten major piano solo works by Shostakovich, carefully noting important stylistic details and specific ways to overcome the numerous musical and technical challenges presented by the music. Each piece is introduced with a brief historic and structural description, followed by an examination of such interpretive aspects as tempo, phrasing, dynamics, voice balance, pedaling, and fingering. This book will be an invaluable resource for students, pedagogues, and performers of Shostakovich's piano solos.
Customer Reviews
I guess I assumed this would be a sheet music book based on a lot of the details listed, but it's not. It's a textbook.Maybe I am a little slow and there's details to make that obvious, but it showed up when I searched Shostakovich sheet music and it looks like it would likely have songs in it. But it doesn't.So I can't comment on the content as I'm not pursuing any research on this topic. Just thought I'd notify other purchasers of this.4 stars since it seems to be a good textbook, but one off because of the confusion.
