Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich was born on this day (25 September) 115 years ago, in 1906 (died in 1975), so I am sharing this part from his Piano Concerto No. 2, composed and performed for the first time in 1957. It is a very touching piece of understated beauty.

Absolutely lovely – thank you for sharing this. I know his symphonies quiet well but not his piano concertos.

I, of course, also love his moments of sheer terror and macabre humor. My single favorite composer — with Alfred Schnittke close behind.
