NOTES
Title from title frames
Take the measure of the terrors of the Stalinist regime in Soviet Russia, and uncover how many people, including Dimitri Shostakovich, were forced to lead double lives. Learn about the composition of the Symphony during the post-Stalin "Thaw,"a less repressive period, and consider the composer’s use of texts by courageous poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko. In the Symphony’s powerful textures, grasp how the music speaks for all those who walked the line between self-preservation and speaking the truth, thereby risking personal annihilation
