Symphony No. 9 in E-flat Major, op. 70, written in 1945
00:10 - I. Allegro
05:26 - II. Moderato
11:08 - III. Presto
14:03 - IV. Largo
17:10 - V. Allegretto
Shostakovich composed this work for Schumann-sized orchestra plus percussion in the summer of 1945, and Yevgeny Mravinsky led the first performance at Leningrad on November 3 of that year. Given the size of Shostakovich's war-haunted seventh and eighth symphonies, Joseph Stalin expected a Ninth in 1945 that "out-Mahlered Beethoven," in the late Boris Schwarz's phrase. In Testimony, Solomon Volkov recalled the composer's saying, "They wanted a fanfare from me, an ode, a majestic Ninth....I doubt that Stalin ever questioned his own genius or greatness. But when the war against Hitler was won, he went off the deep end, like a frog puffing himself up to the size of an ox, and now I was supposed to write an apotheosis of Stalin. I simply could not....My stubbornness cost me dearly."
Volkov called the Ninth a work "full of sarcasm and bitterness." Disguised as an homage to Haydn, it was Shostakovich's shortest symphony since the Second of 1927, despite having five movements (the last three are played without pause). In an effort to shield Shostakovich from political fallout, conductor Mravinsky called the new symphony "a joyous sigh of relief...a work directed against philistinism, which ridicules complacency and bombast, the desire to rest on one's laurels." Putting on a good face, the Soviet hierarchy echoed Mravinsky, but only temporarily.
By and large, Western critics dismissed the work as trivial. However, in his 1990 book The New Shostakovich, Ian MacDonald asserted that "only a dunce could have failed to realize the composer was up to something," pointing out the code-bearing nature of recurring notes and rhythms. A "Stalin motif" is frighteningly present -- always two notes, one usually short, one long -- from its raucous first appearance, without musical point, in the double-exposition of a giddy Allegro movement. The opening "mimic[s] the ordinary citizen's carefree relief at the victorious conclusion of the war. [But] the second subject -- a crude quick-march, led by a two-note, tonic-dominant trombone -- is clearly symbolic of the Vozhd [Stalin]." MacDonald hears "fights breaking out [and] for a hectic moment the music continues in two keys until the trombone wrests control," whereupon strings capitulate "and the reprise ends on sneering trills, the quick-march in control."
A Moderato movement follows, with a B minor main subject for clarinet that is "wan, sad-faced, with a telltale two-note pendant," and "a heel-dragging" second one: "a chain of two-note cells [that] subtly mock conventional grief." Horns "warn off [the] real feeling" that breaks through briefly, whereupon "happy-face clowns [usher in] a cheery scherzo...another street party [as in the first movement] that goes violently wrong."
Menacing brass octaves begin the fourth movement; then a bassoon recitative sends mixed signals, "another mask" that leaves the strings uneasy. The Allegretto finale "erupts into action....A dark whirlwind drives the movement to a climax of teetering expectation -- but all that emerges is the clownish main theme, hammered out by the entire orchestra. Shostakovich's contempt is scalding. Here are your leaders, the music jeers: circus clowns. Point made, [he] summons a helter-skelter coda and slams [the Ninth] shut."
For MacDonald it is "an open gesture of dissent [that] ruthlessly targeted Stalinism....Wagnerisms, the most prominent being an allusion to Wotan's Leitmotif in the fourth movement, are probable expressions of the view, outlined in Testimony, of Stalin and Hitler as 'spiritual relatives.'" Shostakovich paid dearly indeed for the snub; he was damned in 1948 as a "formalist" and blacklisted, leaving him only movie scores for income. After Stalin's death in 1953 he finished a Tenth Symphony, in whose scherzo the Vozhd himself makes one last, unforgettably terrifying appearance.

This is the most passive aggressive piece known to man
You can hear the passive-aggression seeping from every note
i also watched the tentacrul video
Because this is Russian.
The theme at 0:52 is what you whistle while performing a task all wrong under the watchful supervision of an incompetent superior, blissfully unaware of the consequences.
@@needlessnoise watch Bernstein's commentary next, you'll be a master
22:03 you're not a clown. you're the entire circus.
My symphony did this piece and at one point the conductor was yelling at the horn section and he said "you sound like a clown car slowly running out of gas!"
Nice one😂
I think this statement suits more in shosty violin concerto No.1, the climax of 2nd movement 🃏🃏🃏
Something Prokofiev would write
In chess there's a tactic known as the desperado, where you know a piece is about to be lost anyway so you use its last move to get as big of a punch in as you can.
Shosty's 9 sounds like a desperado.
I LOVE this analogy!!!!! Omg!!! ♟️
so the desperado is like "burn every resources method" in war(eg: even I lose,I will make you win but come at huuuggge cost)?
Well, how could it be otherwise? He starved in besieged Leningrad, saw the worst horrors of war and this was reflected in his work
Listening to this piece out of context it's weird...
With a little bit of exposition it's hilarious!

At 12:14 Dimitri introduces his spanish cousin: "There he is now, There he is now, There he is now, There he comes now."

he made me love shosty's music. agreed.

Lol the best part of the symphony
It’s the peanut gallery in the back that really sells it(the tambourine and the Bing Bong timpani part) 😂
I know this symphony is supposed to be a joke, but this might be one of my favorites
It’s still super creative.
Same.
I love this piece so much because of the 5th movement.
Someone I Am I also love the 5th movement because to me it sounds like a circus saying “hooray the war is done!”
Spite really is an excellent motivator for creativity. This is a hilariously trolly piece AND it’s also amazing.
The "I'm so tired of your shit" song, pretty much.
Cough* cough* piece not song cough* cough*
@Nicholas Negosian Forgive him.
Forgive us.
@Nicholas Negosian Yes, cause I'd correct him.
Shosty is the best
Saw this piece performed live and I shit you not, I couldn't stop laughing my ass off. I had to bite down on my tongue really hard throughout the 1st movement to refrain myself from causing any attention... greatest concert experience E V E R!
'You're not a clown, you're the entire circus' - the piece
FEEL THE OPPRESSION
The humor of the piece is undeniable, but movement four is one of the most soul-crushing, desolate, and depressing things I have ever heard. Almost as if one is listening to someone die.
If you want something with the same character, I suggest the very last minutes of his 4th symphony.
He was like "I'm going to gulag for this"
at that point, he knew that his insult towards the Soviet authorities was going to be exposed in the symphony. so, his pessimism and hopelessness seeped through into his 4th movement. he didn't want to die because he was worried about his family. in the end, Stalin died before Shosty did lmao.
Shosty deserved better tho.
Shostakovich apparently killed the curse of 9 by this symphony
I absolutely LOVE the 4th movement. So much happens in a short period of time!
this getting copyright struck is so ironic

I really really really like this comment
I like it too
nice comment
Hey bud, good job with this comment.
Such a great comment 👍
This piece is basically classical music comedy (The Soviets being the subject)
The original shitpost
The original dodging censor bots
That would be Mozart actually
yea glad mozart died early so that he won’t continue to shitpost lol
Listen Mozart a musical joke
@@xmvziron Mozart didn’t make shitposts, he made shit. Shosty on the other hand, not so much.
0:25 this is what I call the 'water inside your army shoes motive' it just sounds like wet socks splashing about in shoes. The basoon + clarinet. I would love to hear a piece based on this excerpt, add brass with harmon mutes in the 2 and 4 on top of that.
This piece is so fucking odd. So many clownish circus-sounding moments and nonsensical shifts in character. Yet at the same time it's such an enjoyable listen. Knowing the backstory of it makes it even funnier!
well, it's Shostakovich after all
trolling the government
Shostakovich : *composes a first movement that lasts almost 30 minutes*
Also Shostakovich : *composes a five minutes first movement and the whole symphony is shorter than the first movement alone of the other symphony* 😂
I was so confused on what was playing in the background and then I saw Shostakovich and then I went "ah... he is trolling the communists again"
^ Basically! Trolling is the perfect word.
The bach-round
This needs to be animated with russian soilders being klutzing about

LOL that hidden Radetzky march motif in the final movement
An hour ago, I unconsciously started singing the finale in its entirety, and while I knew every little detail, including the orchestration, I was unable to recall the composer and the title of the work. When I arrived back home, I screamed "Εύρηκα!" (Eureka). It took me 45 minutes to find it. Nice chance to listen to the whole Symphony now!
i shat myself on the bus and remembered this song
Congratulations

I think about this every single day.

Nice! It is a reupload am I right? A lot of Shostakovich symphonies' videos got deleted :(
All of tomekkobailka for example (3, 4 and 8 I think)
Yes it is! The 15th one was also removed, and the Soldier's tale by Stravinsky.. :(
Did it get removed by UA-cam or did you decide to take it off youtube?
Those videos were removed by UA-cam (copyright issue)
It seems string quartet 8 with sheet music was removed as well
Stalin: hey we defeated Nazi Germany can you make a super epic 9th symphony for us to celebrate truimphantly
Shostakovich: ya sure
*composes piece*
Stalin: haha f*** you
@@segmentsAndCurvesSchostakovich to Stalin: no, you will die, but I will live, because I want to listen to the Beatles.
Da DAAAAAA
he was a genius
He really just said "no💖✨" to Stalin, then did it anyway
what the composers feel like back then when they're gonna write their 9th symphony:
Hey Damon, could you please upload more of Shostakovich's symphonies. ... I really miss all those videos
On my channel I have the 5th Symphony if you need it :)
7:34 John Williams did a similar thing with his Jawa theme.
parallel 5ths... interesting (maybe I can copy that as well)
@@generalsnicky3219 This is what I mean: ua-cam.com/video/ZxMdImpj4mk/v-deo.html for the Jawa theme. And similar orchestration here: ua-cam.com/video/ZxMdImpj4mk/v-deo.html
Williams technically uses parallel fifths all over. But parallel fifths are not against the rules when you are using planing triads. Ie: playing the same triad up and down the scale (chromatically in most cases). Here's an example from Williams' "Moaning Myrtle" theme: ua-cam.com/video/oD0BoezTlMc/v-deo.html
The balls one displays by trolling Stalin like this is incredible.
Sounds like something Mozart would write if he had a modern orchestra
This is literally "we do a little trolling" in an orchestral piece
Which full score edition are you using? Thanks so much for uploading the score!
This. Was. *EPIC.*
Hello, thank you for posting this beautiful music!
Could you please explain to me how you procede to do these videos on youtube with a sheet music synchronizing with the music. I couldn't find a way on the internet.
Thank you for your help!
I usually use 'Moviemaker' for synchronizing the sheet music with the music.
Jesus, the irony of this piece is unbelievable and imagine how much courage it took for someone to disrespect the socialist republic like that. All my respect for Shostakovich.
every one of the copyright claims is incorrect, you can dispute them, and sue should manual review confirm them
It's copyright until either 2040s or 2075
22:34 When I hear this part, I imagine a big lineup of clowns in line and marching at a junction in circles pissing off all the drivers LOL

0:38 that pattern of falling pairs of notes reminds me of the start of Prokoviev’s 2nd piano concerto... deliberate?
and such a fine orchestra!
Shostakovich : for the victory
Stalin : Thank you .
Shostakovich : yes Russia victory not you .
I love how you can tell he was being such a shitter writing this symphony. Dude did NOT want people to try and compare it to Beethoven.
He did not want people to compare it to Beethoven’s 9th, but Beethoven’s 8th.
Mvmt 1 is my favorite!!

The second movements as for me much correlates with a "Il vecchio castelo" from Moussorgsky's "Pictures".
And the fourth movement relates with "Catacombs" and "Bydlo".
u should add commentary in the beginning before playing the audio, like say something about this amazing piece. i think that'll avoid copyright strike
It won't, greedy companies strike whatever they like and there's no way to prevent it
OR maybe, if this wasn't preformed by them (which doesn't appear to be the case), not including ads on someone else's work might help.
@@aleksander2590 youtube sometimes adds ads on copystriked videos without the uploader's consent. It happened to the Holst Planet Suite video as well, and the uploader can't do anything about it.
