Happy Birthday Shostakovich
on: September 26, 2006, 02:00:34 PM
September 25th is, or was, Shostakovich's 100th Birthday. I forgot to post this yesterday so Happy Belated Birthday.
I was sitting in my car listening to 3rd movement of the 4th symphony. Outside the sky was dark, and there was a steady rain with water flowing down the edges of the streets. Perfectly fitting background for the dark, mysterious coda at the end of that movement.

The artist does nothing that others deem beautiful, but rather only what to him is a necessity. Arnold Schoenberg, Theory of Harmony
