And your favorite composer is...

I really prefer Antonio Vivaldi.

Secondaries are Chopin, Scott Joplin and Dacqin

Alex pope,a Shostakovich shirt that would be very I would wear one.
I can understand the fascination david.
The pieces that I have listened to are intense and moving with wavering intertwining melodies.
It is to me encapsulating beyond an horizon and does not let one go.

Music from Shostakovich where would this centenery year concert be held?
Or have misunderstood what was said.

Well, the concert I was refering to was the selection I will make from my library of CDs. If we can get a nice studio (comfy chairs, fridge for the beer, somewhere to cook food etc.), then we could host a small private celebratory function for the listening of Shostakovich's music.

There will, I'm sure, be several concerts of his music on or around the day of his birthday.

Edit: I say a studio, as it would be an injustice to play his music for such an occasion on a sound system that is anything less than studio quality.

I'll try to talk my school into doing something. Exactly when is the date?

Korsakov, and Dvorak.

Dvorak... Cello concerto... yes...

Hey, I still remember one night, a few days before I started med school, dreaming about showing up on the first day of class and finding that Dmitry Shostakovich was giving a biochemistry lecture...

Borodin.

One time I dreamed I married him.
