At any rate, Shosty is great. Dooodly doo, I'm a poet.
I went for a bike ride today and used the 3rd movement of the 8th symphony as a soundtrack.
When I first heard Shostakovitch, I thought it was so dissonant and modern, but now it just pretty conservative to my ears. Has for a good while now. There is a musicologist here that studies only Shostakovich. People are fascinated by the whole Soviet thing. Whatever.
