Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues

on: December 30, 2010, 04:51:26 AM

Random, arbitrary thread, just because I've been really getting into Shostakovich's piano writing, lately. Did you choose more in major keys or minor keys? I have to assume major has a slight edge, what with the popularity of No. 15. In fact, did anyone not pick No. 15 and/or No. 22, for a reason other than to be contrary?

I went with Nos. 2, 6, 8, 14 and 22.

If this work is so threatening, it is not because it's simply strange, but competent, rigorously argued and carrying conviction.
