In a way Shostakovich is our real life Harry Potter bc he does make magic aka music and music is the closest thing we have to magic like we can’t see it or touch it but it can make us feel things previously thought unimaginable

I should’ve made this one my yearbook quote *sigh*
Pictured below is Dmitri Shostakovich giving a toast to a group of unidentified guests, circa 1940s.
One of Shostakovich’s favourite New Years toasts to give was a simple “To things not getting any better!” This was a sarcastic reference (and typical Shostakovich humour) to the hollow promises of Joseph Stalin that things were getting better and better, when in reality life in the Soviet Union was getting worse and worse.

shostakovich for a zine music history assignment. learned a lot about the discourse surrounding string quartet no. 8
#.mhz#shostakovich#very basically: a tendency for western historians to reduce his complexities/history into that of a 'closeted dissident'#ignoring shotakovichs varied life factors and recorded opinons to create a palatable image for the U.S. etc......#fascinating look into the conflicts of niche music historians. tbh i only wanted to research quartet no. 8 bc of the dsch motif

okay not enough of you classical music people know about the dsch journal and that is a CRIME
so, the dsch journal is a volunteer-run journal dedicated entirely to the life and works of dmitri shostakovich. it’s been running since the 90s and publishes two journals per year, which are filled with historical interviews and letters, musical reviews and analyses, opinion pieces from fans and listeners, and updates from the world of shostakovich research on new projects and discoveries to help us better understand one of the most enigmatic- and yet, one of the most famous- composers of the 20th century. their website contains some sample articles from over the years, which often have exclusive information that can be hard to find in biographies and other publications, like interviews from shostakovich’s close friends and family. anyone from anywhere in the world can apply to submit their work to the journal, which is how I got my start with them. they also have an instagram and facebook, where they post lots of neat shostakovich photos, so you should check those out!
I’m now a volunteer writer, editor, and researcher with the dsch journal, and the opportunity has just been amazing. in the upcoming issue, I have three articles- two obituaries and a news piece on a ten-volume (!!) chronicle being released over the course of this decade documenting shostakovich’s life in intense detail, which I was SO excited to read about. I’ve also had a chance to proofread some interviews from his visit to america in 1973, which contain some fascinating information on his artistic process.
also I just gotta point out the covers of the print journals, because they are GORGEOUS. here are some of my favorites-
just !! look at them!!
