- coolandsmartrr 5y agoShostakovitch is an outlier. His 9th symphony departs from the established precedent of composing seriously for this otherwise iconic number. It's a comical satire on the Soviet state then, an embarrassment to Stalin who commissioned the piece in commemoration of victory in WW2.
