Invoking God at the end is so funny too. “This guy fucking sucks and I hate him and I’m sick of hearing about him. Praise Christ.”

Get his ass, queen
Text from a letter written by the Russian composer Galina Ustvolskaya: 

“I am writing these notes to finally assert the TRUTH about my relations with Dmitri Shostakovich. To state the TRUTH about Shostakovich himself as a composer and a person.

I am not writing anything in detail. Details could have far-reaching consequences. It is high time to move on from the steadfast, stupid point of view on Shostakovich.

On my part I would like to say the following: never once during the years, even during my studies at the Conservatory which I spent in his class, was Shostakovich’s music close to me. Nor was his personality.

I would be even more candid: I bluntly refused to accept his music, as in the following years. Unfortunately, Shostakovich’s personality only deepened my negative attitude towards him. I do not feel it necessary to further dwell on the subject.

One thing remains clear: it would seem that such an outstanding figure as Shostakovich was not outstanding to me. On the contrary, it was painful and killed my best feelings.

I begged God to give me strength to create and now too I ask God the same.

Galina Ustvolskaya
St. Petersburg, 1 January 1994”

Bluebeard’s Castle is a great opera because despite all the symbolism and philosophizing about the inner secrets of men’s souls it’s just an opera about a spooky haunted house

Oh interesting I’ve never thought about the two plot lines connected in that way before. But you’re right, they’re definitely thematically linked at minimum. Something for me to think about now

It’s amazing how inventive they all too. Not to keep bringing up Hindemith but tbh if you’ve heard one of his solo viola sonatas you’ve heard them all. Each one of the Weinbergs felt very fresh. Different flavors of heartbreak every time lol

Maddie (The Woman Behind Winkie’s) @midviolist.bsky.social · 30/01/2025
Also a non-Hindemith composer writing four whole viola sonatas… unheard of. Also very hazardous for your health.

What you mean you don’t like how any forward momentum from the scherzo is brought to a complete standstill the moment it attaccas into the finale and it stays that way for 15 whole minutes?

I need to listen to more! I like everything I’ve heard from Weinberg, just not heard much. I LOVE his trio for flute, viola, and harp though
