List of compositions by Dmitri Shostakovich
Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich (Russian: Дмитрий Дмитриевич Шостакович , tr. Dmitriy Dmitrievich Shostakovich, pronounced [ˈdmʲitrʲɪj ˈdmʲitrʲɪjɪvʲɪtɕ ʂəstɐˈkovʲɪtɕ]; (25 September [O.S. 12 September] 1906 – 9 August 1975) was a Russian composer and pianist. His orchestral works include 15 symphonies and six concerti. His chamber output includes 15 string quartets, a piano quintet, two piano trios, and two pieces for string octet. His solo piano works include two sonatas, an early set of preludes, and a later set of 24 preludes and fugues. Other works include three operas, several song cycles, ballets, and a substantial quantity of film music, including The Second Waltz, Op. 99, music to the film The First Echelon (1955–1956),[1] as well as the suites of music composed for The Gadfly.
Shostakovich typically catalogued his compositions and occasionally arrangements of others' music with opus numbers, beginning with the early Scherzo in F-sharp minor. Nevertheless, a significant body of his work, such as his juvenilia, were never given opus numbers. Unfinished works, such as the operas Orango and The Gamblers, were also left without opus numbers. There were also instances when he took the number assigned to a particular work and gave it to another, or was undecided about the numbering of a finished composition. Because of an oversight on his part when compiling his music in the 1930s, his soundtrack to The Youth of Maxim was never given its own opus number. It was only later in 1941 that he designated the score as "Op. 41a," sharing the number with his score to the film Girl Friends.[2]
