Description

Follow the career of one of the most significant Soviet composers in this deep study by Joan Titus. This second volume examines how Dmitry Shostakovich navigated the complex cultural politics of the late Stalinist era while establishing himself as a leading figure in the Soviet film industry. Through a combination of musical analysis and historical research, the book looks at eighteen different scores to understand how music functioned within the cinema of this period. Titus uses archival materials and press reports from the time to provide a clear picture of how Shostakovich's work was received by the public and the state. This work is an essential resource for those studying the history of Soviet music, film studies, or the life of Shostakovich. It connects musical composition with the socio-cultural context of the 1936-1953 period, offering a detailed look at the relationship between art and politics in the Soviet Union.
