| Title: | Shostakovich's Cello Sonata [electronic resource] : its genesis related to socialist realism |
| Author: | Wilson, Miranda Clare. |
| Abstract: | Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his Cello Sonata in 1934 , a crucial date regarding developments in Soviet cultural history , Shostakovich's compositional style , and his personal life . Stalin's government had begun to promote the artistic doctrine of Socialist Realism , which , in typically vague bureaucratic language , called for accessible musical styles that resonated with everyday experiences of Soviet citizens . In response to official demands , Shostakovich had started to experiment with a new simplicity which would not , however , regress into unoriginal , old -fashioned styles . |
