Shostakovitch wrote this piece for an audition of his son, pianist like his father.
It's one of the most serious work he's ever made.
It's not sad, it's careful, like a father to his son.
He could write any thoughts a human beeing can have, but he was the best in Irony..

@rkj1963 you obviously aren't a musician then
i'm studying music and a top university and i like all music
only someone as naive as you thinks that genres of music has anything to do with intelligence. I'd like to see you write a good hip hop song, seeing as you think it's for stupid people and think yourself above it.

@rkj1963. I like Classical, rock, pop and my favourite is Hip-hop. I'm an intelligent person who like to act stupid. You sound like an asshole who try to be clever. Dont. Be yourself, we love you the way you are...

@rkj1963 it doesnt have anaything to do with intelligence, it has to do with patience i guess. every one can understand emotional music, weather it being hip-hop or or pop music, this kind of music just requires patience. and believe me, if this were played on the radio or promoted on youtube, ALOT of people would listen to it, simply because, right now barely any one in my age has ever heard any classical music. you dont have to understand the complexity of the music to like it.

often heard the main theme from radio when I was a kid, and fell in love immiately. Been always wondering which piece it is.

Thousands of words can't express how much I love, and respect you, Mr. Shostakovich.

It is pieces like this that are the reason I listen to music. PIeces that express such longing... Such sorrow... Such hope... It evokes in me the urge to both cry and sing for tomorrow... I learned this piece and played it with my piano teacher for a recital, her playing the piano part, and I sobbed as I played... Truly one of the greatest pieces ever put down on paper.
Thank you Shostakovich, from the bottom of my heart, for this great gift to the world.
