Edited by the leading Shostakovich scholar Laurel E. Fay, the volume gathers essays, memoirs, and primary documents that illuminate the composer's artistic genius against the turbulent backdrop of Soviet Russia. Contributors range from musicologists to historians, each offering unique perspectives that collectively chronicle the creative and political forces that shaped Shostakovich's monumental output. The collection details his relationships with contemporaries, his navigation of Stalinist repression, and the enduring global resonance of his symphonies, string quartets, and chamber works. Rigorous yet deeply engaging, it stands as an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the man behind the music and the world that both inspired and constrained him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956351316187,"sku":"2026100005968-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d226dd8e-58a7-4cfa-98df-6f4e73e71fa1.png?v=1783500060","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005968-secondhand-shostakovich-and-his-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
