it's not Shostakovich's style This piece is part of his conventional works that he was forced to write by the codes of the USSR That's all but Shostakovich's style and true music, here he's just crashing into power to survive ^^’
@@adriansolaris555 Can I see official documents as a proof? If u take a look at the documents that were declassified after collapse of USSR during 1922 - 1953, only 600k were killed in GULAG, we can count also deaths cause of hunger in 1932 - 1933, it's about 2 - 3 millions, u said it was 30 millions, so can I see some proofs?
@@remysnt7999 , Shostakovich was awarded by many Stalin Prizes. stop spreading this anti-soviet propaganda. This waltz was made for the movie. Shostakovich made many music for movies.
I have to say that you are a really good pianist, and that I want to play the piano as good as you one day, but now I have to go back to my piano exercise :D
beautifully performed, full of energy and life, you can imagine a Russian ball room scene, everyone dressed in their own regalia dancing, reminds me of the dancing scene of the animated version of " Anastasia" just SUPERB, these composers were pure Genius's in their day and Still are, just love this, one of my favourite pieces Long Live Classical Music.
This song caught me off guard. My grandma who just passed lived this song. She showed it to me years ago and when I played it for her just before she passed she was so happy and couldn't believe i knew that song but also couldn't recall how she knew it. Love you to death- and further, Abuela
This piece has always sounded so sardonic to me??? and i love it so much, but ive honestly never heard any happiness in the music lmao. this is what it sounds like when a recently scorned lover is cheerily destroying everything they can get their hands on
Exactly my thoughts. But then you see someone you know. You guys walk together and have a good talk and some good laughs. But then he has arrived at his house and now you must go to yours. Again alone. Alone as the moon keeps watch over you. And then you feel relieved and a tad happy as you arrive to your destination.
This was posted a day after my 17th birthday (one of the worst birthdays of my life). I played this song at a band concert once, and it always stuck with me. How I wish I could've seen such a great birthday gift when I needed it.
Genrikh Goncharov would do i think. Genrikh is the Slavic version of Heinrich, which in turn has the same root as Harry. This name is rather rare and appears mostly among russian Jews and Germans, but there seems to be no other close analogue to the name Harry. Other option is Garry (see Garry Kasparov, for instance), but that name is extremely rare. Or Garik, which is an Armenian name, but who cares? "Gonchar" means potter in Russian, so Potter would be "Goncharov" according to Russian naming traditions. It is a common surname. "You are a wizard, Genrikh"
Next Time when you Search a classical piece type in most famous 100 pieces or something like that. And then watch some Videos and many pieces you may know will be in the video! :)
Did anyone else just hear this song from out of the blu, and been searching for it forever then when you find it you cant stop listening to it and it becomes your favorite song? No just me?
My heart is melting. I've always hated dancing and found it a horribly goofy and boring activity but when I listen to this piece, I wish I had a romantic partner so I could dance with her while we listen to this.
I was trying to connect to my brother's bluetooth headphones but I connected to a random speaker and I have no idea where is it but I'm playing some classical pieces on it hoping whoever hears this won't mind having art in their room
