“I wanted to create a work about our people who are becoming heroes, who fight in the name of victory against the enemy … During work on the new symphony, I thought about the greatness of our Soviet people, about their heroism, about the magnificent humanistic ideas and values of the people, about our splendid nature, about humanity and beauty … To our struggle against Fascism, our certain victory over the enemy, to my native city of Leningrad I dedicate my 7th Symphony.”
- Dmitri Shostakovich in Pravda, 1942.
Score: Collected Works Vol. 4, State Publishers “Muzyka”, Moscow 1981.
