Hardback. New. In 1946 Schoenberg wrote of Sibelius and Shostakovich, 'I feel they have the breath of symphonists.'

David Fanning's close analysis of the 10th sheds light on issues associated with the genre of the twentieth-century epic symphony, issues of structure and expression, unity and contrast. The book reveals how the work displays some of Shostakovich's most effective strategies for confronting these issues.
