“While composing this symphony I thought about our people’s nobility, his heroism, about marvellous humanist ideas, human values, our splendid Nature, mankind, beauty...” With this statement Shostakovich specifies the humanism that supports the philosophical discourse of this symphony, establishing at the same time the methodological basis on which he builds the musical dramaturgy of the work. The programme initially proposed by Shostakovich as narrative outline of his symphony, divided in four episodes – War, Memories, The intensity of patriotic space, Victory – does not involve more significance than a statement of intent and, in any case, a description of the dramatic spaces where the discourse will move.
