Extensive postscript with notes on composition and critical commentary in Russian and English.
Dmitri Shostakovich's New Collected Works in 150 volumes will make the whole of Shostakovich's (1906-1975) vast compositional heritage accessible to professional musicians, performers and researchers.
New Collected Works (which began being published a quarter of a century after Shostakovich's death) includes all Shostakovich's works known today, as well as most of Shostakovich's instrumented compositions by other authors, adaptations, arrangements, etc. Each volume is accompanied by scientific textological comments and articles containing detailed factual information about how the composition came about, the composer's impressions, information on the concert or stage life of the works, the first performers, dedications, sources of the published text, the whereabouts of the author's manuscripts, the first edition, as well as arrangements that have become particularly popular, etc. Facsimiles of the preserved author's manuscripts of Shostakovich's numerous outlines and rough drafts, which are of immense value for studying his creative work, as well as the musical interpretation of these author's manuscripts, are being published in New Collected Works for the first time. The interpretation principles used are explained in special articles. Shostakovich's New Collected Works is being published in two languages-Russian and English. The English names of the compositions used in the publication are based on those that are generally accepted and already reinforced in international practice. The texts of vocal compositions are printed in Russian and accompanied by a Latin transliteration.
The conception of New Collected Works was drawn up by the editor-in-chief of DSCH Publishers, M.A. Iakubov.
