Here you can hear it in a chamber symphony version arranged by Rudolf Barshai. Also worth hearing is No. 1, the composer's first string quartet, which he tackled in his 30s, and the Piano Quintet, his most frequently performed chamber work. Shostakovich himself was an excellent pianist, having competed in the Chopin Competition, and his two piano sonatas, the \"24 Preludes\" (different in style from the \"24 Preludes and Fugues\" of later years), and a work for two pianos are also of excellent quality. The humorous \"Tarantella\" and the playful \"Concertino\" written for his son Maxim reveal a lighter side of the dour Shostakovich. Also included is Alfred Schnittke's homage \"Prelude to the Memory of Dmitri Shostakovich.\n\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Capriccio Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51435793776929,"sku":"4589538822590","price":5490.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538822590.jpg?v=1751292652","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538822590","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
