Folk Dances (1952)
Dmitri Shostakovich (ed. h. robert reynolds)
Composed in Shostakovich’s light-hearted style, Folk Dances is a single movement work filled with the joy and exuberance of the Russian people. The many folk melodies are combined in a string so that musical energy abounds and the spirit of folk dances can easily be imagined. The first version of this composition was instrumented by M. Vakhutinsky for Russian bands. Back to index of works |
