Shostakovich: Symphony #8 In C Minor, Op. 65 - Adagio - Allegro Non Troppo (Extract)

[redesandinas]

I heard that Dimitri Shostakovich was more powerful than Adolph Hitler since his music inspired the peoples of the Soviet Union to achieve victory over Germany in 1945.

So much power, it like, surges through my stomach, makes me want to punch a wall and take a gun and fire mindlessly at people, but then again, thats the point isn't it? *Craps pants because of Shostakovich's epicness.* Chuck norris didn't want to be in action movies at first, he listened to this .

this is the greatest symphony of the postwar era

The eighth symphony is against male macho war..In maybe in a sense sissies are underrated lol

[johndoejonespoet]

The eighth symphony is not for sissies.
