Hulme, Derek C. Dmitri Shostakovitch: A Catalogue, Bibliography, and Discography, 3rd ed. Lanham, Maryland: Scarecrow Press, Inc., 2002.
-
Provides a guide and reference source for the works of Shostakovitch. Directs musicians to details of published scores, discography, and key biographical events. A great reference for students wishing to explore analytical elements such as structure, key distinction, and harmonic progressions.
-
A catalogue covering the composer's complete compositions, work by work. The works are numbered and ordered from a list adopted in 1976 by Grigori Shneyerson. This edition contains revisions and expansions under each opus, with major additions in the Recordings section. Further improvements include substitution of hereto unknown or approximate performance dates of many analogue recordings by the actual dates or years, disclosed in the liner notes, when transferred to digital compact discs.
-
The catalogue is organized chronologically by opus number under eleven headings: Form, Instrumentation, Composed, Dedication, Premier, Arrangements, Music, Duration, Ballets (and Films), and Recordings. Dated works without opus numbers are designated by an allotted provisional letter (e.g. Sans op. A) and inserted where appropriate. Bibliographic references and notes are added for a number of works. Contains seven appendixes covering: Collections and Addresses of Music Publishers, Television and Theater Productions, History of Recording (along with special USSR and other recordings), Chronological Chart of Main Works and Historical Events, Abandoned Projects and Obscure and Doubtful Works, DSCH-the Composer's Monogram, and Index of Russian Titles. Two Indexes: Index of Names, Index of Compositions.
-
Information is geared for general music-lovers and is presented in a non-technical language.
