@awhitenredd I understand, assumption is the unforseeable flaw of mankind.

The saddest music ever written. R.I.P DSCH.

Shostakovich wrote this while he was hiding in cabin in the woods after a confrontationover his 4 th symphony. This piece was intended to be his suicide note. Stolin had threatened to kill Shostakovich and everyone he loved if he didnt write music that support stolin. The piece reflects his emotions as he contemplated suicide. If you enjoy his music i highly recommend readin his book testimony and learning more about his life

Shostakovich wrote this as his epitaph becase at the time he planned to kill himself.
Sadness, beauty, and darkness spiraling together and flowing like a river.
Listen carefully. Shostakovitch knew how to make time stand still.
Truly cathartic.
