reiben: Dmitri Shostakovich 1) Dmitri’s everyday face. 2) Joseph left in the middle of the performance of Dmitri’s opera “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk”. Later, the composer was criticised as “People’s Enemy” by Pravda magazine. 3) In the most difficult times, Dmitri sometimes slept in the elevator hall as to prevent his family being harmed if he ever got arrested in the middle of the night. 4) Rostropovich was a student of Dmitri. He later recalled that during that time, Dmitri would sometimes call him to come over at once. Then the two would sit together in silence while Dmitri smoking non-stop. After about an hour, Dmitri would suddenly say, “Thank you, you can go now”. 5) After WWII, Joseph one day phoned Dmitri himself, asking him to go on a tour to the United States representing the Soviet’s music. Dmitri said, “But they don’t even allow my own music be played in Russia.” Joseph replied, “How could they not play your music? I never give this order.” 6) His 5th symphony’s premiere was conducted by Mravinsky; so did his 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 12th. Later when Mravinsky refused to perform his 13th, it led to the eventual break down of their relations. 7) Dmitri’s favourite sport is soccer. There was a famous photo where he laughed whole-heartedly while watching a soccer game. 8) Dmitri joint the party in 1960 which led to an important turning point of his career. 9) Quote: “Target achieved so far: 75%. All I need to do now is wreck the left hand and then 100% of my extremities will be out of order”. —Later in life, Dmitri suffered from numerous chronic diseases, broke both legs and suffered from a deterioration in his right hand’s function. Only his left hand was unharmed.
