I think that if one desires to decipher a piece such as this, one must keep immense caution at bay. I mean, who doesn't have difficulty deciphering the emotions, score marks and all the other parts of the score from say Mozart or other composers of the various other previous eras. A note to caution I say.

@redword2007 I'd have to agree with the meaning behind your sarcasm, i was simply making a joke via wordplay.
The western world shifted them meaning of the world during this time it was no longer a term for an economic system but a synonym for corruption, evil and oppression which just isn't true.
However... Overly Authoritiarian gov't systems haven't convinced me of their affectiveness only the conterary.
one final note, i personally enjoy the socialism of my health care, and other services

The West never engaged in anti-Communist propaganda during the Cold War;
It really is Santa Claus who brings those gifts at Christmas;
And the tooth fairy does exchange cash for molars.
Bless.

@metafixi It's music from The Golden Age. You can buy Rozhdestevensky's complete ballet recording.

@redword2007 actually it is an anti-authoritarian, examining of a composer surpressed by totalitarian state ...
Words are wonderful aren't they? We just said the same thing ;)
