(Study Score). Nine months after Stalin's death on 10 December 1953, Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10 was premiered as his first symphonic composition since the end of the war. It was later interpreted by Solomon Volkov as a coded description of Stalin and the years of his regime. Although the music can certainly be understood in that sense both in the extremely carefully composed first movement and in the brutal Scherzo which is claimed to be a portrait of Stalin such an interpretation has remained controversial to this day. What is clear is that this dark work contains not only allusions to compositions by Mahler and Sibelius, but also frequent and richly varied appearances of Shostakovich's own monogram, DSCH, and that of one of his students Elmira Nazirova. 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 Dmitri Shostakovich'.
