Focusing on Shostakovich's Fourth Symphony, the author explores its distinct structural and tonal characteristics that set it apart from other Soviet works of its time. The book delves into the symphony's unique dramaturgy and language, presenting a challenge to Soviet musical norms during a pivotal era. Through a detailed examination of the score, the author discusses various musical processes, including tonal themes and allusions, while situating the analysis within the broader context of Soviet musical culture from 1932 to 1936.
