In this video, we look at the composition techniques used by Shostakovich to create music under the scrutiny of [BAD MANl] during the period of Socialist Realism and the Red Terror. How could he express his sadness and outrage ( Symphony no 5, Symphony no 7, String Quartet no 8, etc.) in the Soviet Union, without losing his life for doing so?
