SO YOU'VE NEVER HEARD SHOSTAKOVICH, HUH?

Shostakovich wrote his Symphony No.10 in 1953, after the death/murder of Stalin.

Listen to the orchestration of the strings in his Symphony No.10, from 22:00 to 23:05 in this version of Symphony No.10



Clues to how Shostakovich influences today:
1. Alfred Hitchcock used this orchestration in Marnie and Vertigo, years after Symphony No.10;
2. Aliens?

Look. Shostakovich was a master of orchestration (and symphony). Get over it.

You lot are too busy fucking: for sex; or for war.
