Piano Concerto No.2 in F major, Op.102, by Dmitri Shostakovich was composed in 1957 for his son Maxim's 19th birthday. Maxim premiered the piece during his graduation at the Moscow Conservatory. It is an uncharacteristically cheerful piece, much more so than most of Shostakovich's works.
The concerto lasts around 20 minutes and has three movements, with the second movement played attacca, thereby moving directly into the third (although the second movement does come to an acceptable resolution in C minor, such that the third movement is not entirely necessary to bring the music to a conclusion)
The jolly main theme of the first movement is played first by the bassoon, then soon accompanied by the clarinets and oboes. The piano enters unobtrusively with an answering theme, played as single notes in both hands an octave apart. This evolves into a march-like theme. A new melodic theme in D minor is then introduced, with unisons two octaves apart on the piano, winding down to nothing. Then, an abrupt blast from the orchestra leads into tumultuous and low jumping octaves on the lower piano, while the orchestra plays a variation on the original piano melody fortissimo. The piano builds in a triplet pattern to introduce the D minor theme (now in D major) in an augmentation in a triumphant tutti. At the climax, everything comes to a silent pause, and the piano comes in with a fugue-like counterpoint solo. After a minute of the fugue, the orchestra comes back in, playing the melody in the high winds. The orchestra builds on the main melody while the piano plays scales and tremolos, which lead into a joyous few lines of chords and octaves by the piano, with the main theme finally resurfacing and bringing the movement to a close.
The second movement is subdued and romantic. The mood can be considered tender with a touch of melancholy. Strings start gently in C minor, with a short introduction before the piano comes in with a gentle triplet theme in C major. Although it remains slow throughout, and works within a comparatively small range, it is marked by the recurrence of two- or four-on-three rhythms.
The finale is a lively dance in duple time, making much use of pentatonic scales and modes. Soon, the second theme is introduced, in 7/8 time, with the piano accompanied by balalaika-like pizzicato strings. This carries on for a short time before a new motif arrives in "Hanon" exercise mode, with scales in sixths and semiquaver runs, this being the joke for Maxim's graduation. These three themes are then developed and interwoven before a final statement of the 7/8 theme and finally a virtuoso coda in F major.
This concerto is sometimes dismissed as one of the composer's less important works, especially in comparison to some of the symphonies and string quartets. In a letter to Edison Denisov in mid-February 1957, barely a week after he had finished work on it, the composer himself wrote that the work had "no redeeming artistic merits". It is suggested that Shostakovich wanted to pre-empt criticism by deprecating the work himself (having been the victim of official censure numerous times), and that the comment was actually meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Despite the apparent simplistic nature of this concerto, the public has always regarded it warmly, and it stands as one of Shostakovich's most popular pieces. The British classical radio station Classic FM holds an annual contest and in 2017 the concerto was voted 19th in the Classic FM Hall of Fame.

Хорошо первая часть. Вторая часть, вступление оркестра - КАК СИЛЬНО чувствуется, что это НЕ Русский оркестр и никто из нью-йоркских евреев оркестра в жизни не был даже в местечках Украины и Белоруссии. И понятия не имеет, о чём эта музыка! Сразу запись потеряла 80% ценности... Пианист лучше прочувствовал эту боль и эту красоту, войну и мир, слезы и любовь...
Apart from all the harsh, realist pieces he wrote during times of oppression, Shostakovich still managed to write a cute and little concerto for his beloved son. What a man.
Ikr
what opression?
@@IFP.249 he was one of the composers in Soviet Russia (along with Prokofiev, Myaskovsky, and Khachaturian) who were named "anti-Soviet" composers and persecuted by the Soviet government.
the opression depicted in his 8th and fourth symphonies, just to name 2 examples@@IFP.249
Probly mu fave piece of music. I saw Shostakovich's son play it in concert, in 1982
Seryous? You had seem Maxim play it? Must have been a great experience, hear this from the person that D.Shostakovich dedicated the composition.
@@diemenschen8339 ...yes I heard Maxim play live, and in a small venue too, the Orpheum in Vancouver, Canada.
@@kevinrbarker Thank you for share your experience online, one of the best things in internet is being able to heard such histories.
Maksim?
Wow
The Andante... the andante...
Of course you would love the most obvious of movements…
@@danal81 is there a problem with that?
@@xqf868 what are you, his guardian? 😂
@@danal81 just curious why you would question someone‘s taste.
@@xqf868 it’s not taste.
I remember playing this last year as a violin behind our soloist. We had a lot of solos that night, but this one was the only to make me cry during the performance! I was tearing up and couldn’t read the music; I was scared to mess up the beauty of our soloist. Still my favorite solo of that night. (2nd movement)
why were you crying
But you didn't mess up. Your heart was in your playing.
@@steyerbeliford213 because he was scared to mess up.
@@smhmyhead8017 I think it was because of the solo itself.
I saw his son perform it live, 1982
10:28 that melody is so gorgeous, i cant take it out of my head
god i love the second movement so damn much

Call me a philistine, but it's not often I actually prefer a second movement over both the first and the third. But this one, this is gold.
I think if you're having three movements in quick succession,you should see your gp.
Ain't that some kinda bird?
philistine
You're a fool for not recognizing this as the most beautiful thing youll ever hear
Ravel piano concerto, mozart piano concerto 23 have good 2nd movement
Without exaturating i probably watched the whole thing 100+ times, especially the first movement❤💚 the first time i have "fell in love" with a piece. Almost every day i put on my headphones and play the whole concert like i am a soloist😊
That is so wonderful
A summit meeting of the musical geniuses, Dimitri and Leonard…
How much luckier can we classical music aficionados get????
What can I say? Shostakovich was a genius. This is just outstanding. Love this piano concerto. Thank you so much for uploading this fantastic performance.
I credit the uploader (can't remember the channel name, probably Thomas Ligre) who posted the score-video of each individual movement.
Dmitri really loved his boy. ❤
And the boy became quite a musician and conductor, thanks in no small part to his generous and kind father's promptings.
Cutest piano concerto I have ever heard
Last night I was listening to the 2nd movement at 0:00 am/pm whatever on a beautiful half moon summernight it was so beautiful. This piece really took me floating away, I never had that kind of feeling before, with any composition.
It really hits different at night.
You should also listen to Brahms Symphony 3 Mvt 3
Try Rachmaninov. Although I prefer Shosty’s music, I still must admit that Rachmaninov’s music are more powerful than Shosty’s…sometimes.
This second movement. Absolutely insane.
ARRGH THE SECOND MOVEMENT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY ARRRGHHHHHH
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU AREEEE IT DOESN'T REMIND ME OF ANYTHING SAPPY AND WHOLESOME PLEASE AARARGH
I got my degree in music performance and I had the privilege of performing Symphony No 10 in college. Later, I remember seeing a movie about spies with Tom Hanks in it, and Mvt. II of this work was included at some point. I immediately knew that I had to figure out what that piece was. It's now one of my favorite Shostakovich works, along with Symphony 4 & 7.
This is my favorite piano concerto. I had a dream I was playing the piano part in the first movement while listening to a recording of it.
Fabulous - thank you for sharing the score with us!
You're very welcome!
4:21 : Shostakovich Symphony no. 16 in F Major
Love this Bernstein recording so so much
This is not the most profound work out there, but it never fails to make you happy!
Music is not a contest sir.
@@willemvandoesselare7959 That is correct. You must have read my comment very literally!
What a brilliant piece! This is the first time I've listened to it, and I'm awestruck by the composer's ability to keep an audience (at least this one) riveted to their seats, or right on the edge of them! That kind of showmanship is at least as important in a piano concerto as a great theme. And this performance is really amazing, too. Thanks for posting this!
9:33 it starts hitting just right
This is very happy to come from Shostakovich,so be happy with Bernstein at the piano
Delightful, the 3 movements!
This is a very uplifting master piece. Long live the maestros legacy❤
This is the first song I've listened to, but it's very helpful to have the music put out. Thank you very much.
What a second movement… Rivals the beauty of anything Rachmaninov ever wrote, IMO. And the other two movements are so much fun! This concerto is like a playful love sandwich.
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you for a favor if it was not much to ask. I have to play the first movement of this Shostakovich concerto and I am struggling a lot writting the fingering so I wanted to ask you if you had ever played this concerto and if you would somehow share me your markings if possible, I swear this is the first time I do this. My apologies and thank you in advance. Keep up the good work everyone.❤️
Solo piano part, I assume?
@@PentameronSV yes, the soloist part
@@fryderyckchopin484did it work out?
@@felixmanface no my man, I didn't receive any help for it
@@fryderyckchopin484 rip sorry
The first movement is one of the best pieces of music I’ve ever heard
Oh, there are so much more to hear mon amie…
@@ninor.9875You know what, you’re right. The 3rd movement is even better!
Dimi loved his snare drum
Disney & Co. set first movement for animated version of Hans Christian Andersen's "Steadfast Tin Soldier." Andersen's story is tragic, but Disney gives it the joyous ending that DS probably would have enjoyed!
I loved that segment and I love how they gave it a happy ending as well. It's what brought me here.
Hans Christian Andersen's tales were my childhood introduction to human tragedy:"The Steadfast Tin Soldier," "The Little Match Girl," "The Little Christmas Tree," even "The Little Mermaid:" all about failure & death.
I hated that happy ending. Disney has a really bad habit of adapting Andersen's tales and tacking happy endings on them. They did the same with "The little Mermaid". If they were ever to turn "The girl with the Matchsticks" into a movie they'd probably have her survive as well...
@@Quotenwagnerianer In Tin Soldier's case, they had to change the ending to something that fit the tone of the music they chose. They actually made a Little Match Girl short in the 2000s, and it keeps the tragic ending.
Wouldn’t have known this existed if it weren’t for TikTok. Love this
Гениально!
That random dude on muse score: decides to play orchestra part and piano part at the same time like
Thank you, Shostakovich...
That last movement is wild
Right? I mean of course the piano part ist super difficult in every movement, but in the last one I still remember how hard those fast few bars where.
finally complete video :D
what an immense artist bernstein was
Uno de mis preferidos.
My favorite
Capolavoro!!!!!!
Unrestricted explosion of musical ingenuity free from the yoke of the traditional protocol of the European classic music is what Shostakovich was about. Shostakovich is testament to the fact that great Russian musical souls were kicking and screaming even under the oppressive communist regime. In the 22nd century he will be remembered as the greatest composer of the 20th century comparable to Beethoven and Bach.
He already is. No need to wait another century.
Such rhythmic and textural poverty!
Gracias 💖🌹💖
18:35 Stostakovich just casually does hanon exercises during his piano concerto.
I don't know what I expected
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO EXI BOOK 1 EXI VOL 1 LMAOOO bro u gave me ptsd
apparently his son liked hanon a lot. thats why the last movement is just hanon😂
@@maximilianb.8789 Yes, the concerto was written for his son's final piano exam, having therefore didactic parts :)
second movements are Anaya so intimate and calm... this one takes the top spot 4me
18:35 those runs in the 3rd movement sound like interstellar. I wonder if hans zimmer used this as any inspiration
I don't hear it personally
@@joshualucas1048 I think he is speaking about the music "Coward" in Interstellar
This is actually a Hanon quote lol
@@joshualucas1048 @Philippe Longelin yeah "Coward" at 7:46 ua-cam.com/video/SoP44KNu0IQ/v-deo.html
@@Legapur9 Those are from a Hanon exercise book, Shosty just used them as a fun reference.
That piccolo player !!!
8:43 There is a mistake, a C should sound in the melody but an A sounds.
Yeah I noticed that too haha, unless that was some sort of interpretation but idk
Indeed
Bellissimo
Omg, this is in Fantasia 2000.
yeees the toy soldiers and the ballet girl!
15:30 have you practised your Hanon exercises properly?
Lol quick hanon check mid concerto 😂
"Practice 40 hours a day"

17:32 Anyone waiting for this moment? I do.
2:46 sounds like mvt 2 of the first violin concerto
The second movement seems to echo and draw a bit from Beethoven’s 5th piano concerto’s 2nd mvt. In an original way.
3:34 reminds me of prok 3 lol
This was featured in the Disney animated film Fantasia 2000
That’s why I’m here

Reminds me of Schubert's Reliquie Sonata...
Finally someone else that noticed that, I came here to notice all the similarities. I'm listening in this really moment with that third henle Schubert book
@@margheritacasamonti5048 Great to see someone else observing that :)

15:30 Hanon
absolute banger,
agree that
Ah Bernstein... plays a wrong note in one of the most exposed parts of the concerto (08:43), but manages for it to still be beautiful and sound right.
You are cool
Min 4:44... Only one word: chills
The genius of Shostakovich
@federicoguidoricci6398 -- Yes indeed.....Heroic.......BRAVO from Acapulco!
@@Dylonely42The genius of Shostakovich
Este es un GENIO....!
17:31 wow triple low octaves
2:28 reminds me beginning of Tarkus))
i had to learn the third movement in less than a month and my teacher told me: "don't worry it's easy..."
come back later to tell us how it's going:)
It's later now
I'm only part one of this listen, and it's already gone into full Wacko Mode. Wonder what will happen at part two? It's only about 1 or two minutes away from my ears now . . .
I'm back two weeks later. OMG (Oh My Goddess), i thought part II would still be all crazy-like, but instead it lilting and floating---like a swan on a could . . .
And now, i'm back again for the finale. And it sounds like some sort of "Rhapsody Espaniola," but by Paul Hindemith . . . on acid.
Hey Pentameron! do you still have the score? I would love to start looking into the score!

The deliberate insert of Hanon's exercises in this movement made me giggle so much

I love this theme at 1:19
Je comprends qu'il y ait de la pub au début, mais deux fois au milieu du morceau : est-ce là tout le respect que vous avez pour Chostakovitch ?
I can't be the only one who hears hedwigs theme in the beginning
Yes. Yes you are.
When I hear Hedwig's theme I think more of Tchaikovsky. Probably both John Williams and Shostakovich were inspired.

where did you get the score from?
This video is actually a merged version of separate-movement score videos originally made by another UA-cam channel (I think it's Thomas Ligre). See the links at the end of the description.
Sadly, the original videos seem to be taken down now.
@@PentameronSV alright thank you!
Hey! Shostakovich! This to easyer then my piano concerto! You need to see my concerto 1, Shostakovich!
Quit it, children. Should I send you both to bed without supper?
Uncle Rach would wallop you if he hears that!
@@PentameronSVHe is Frederic Chopin and can you stop him? He is the first to talent himself!!!
sorry chopin, your piano writing is so damn good, but i'm not fond of your orchestration.
Go back to your grave
I should report you to the ICC for those ad break timings…
I chose to not monetise this video in the first place, so it'd be nice to see UA-cam reported to the ICC.
if you made a channel, how many videos about thing you know would you make before running out of ideas
Not this being in marching show 🙈🫣
I love Shostakovich, but it seems like when he made it to the third movement he just said "Ah octaves, all octaves, you commie bastards!".
It should seriously be illegal to put adds in the middle of music.
Sadly, I demonetise all my videos on purpose, yet UA-cam's current policies allows ads on them anyway.

Someone thought about the Andante influence over the "Memo Flora" concert by Yoshimatsu?
