Question
In the last movement of a piece by this composer, the violins play shrill high A’s that are likened to “forced rejoicing” by the book Testimony. This composer’s tumultuous eighth string quartet may have been written as a suicide note and was dedicated to the “victims of fascism and the war.” The D·S·C·H motif represents this composer, whose fifth symphony was written as a “creative response to justified criticism” from the newspaper Pravda. This composer, who was denounced for his opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, used an “invasion theme” in his seventh symphony to depict a Nazi siege. For 10 points, name this Soviet composer of the Leningrad Symphony. ■END■
