This composer’s tumultuous eighth string quartet (10[1])may have been written as a suicide note and was dedicated to the “victims of fascism and the war.” (10[1])The D·S·C·H (10[1])motif (10[1])represents this composer, whose fifth symphony was written as a “creative response to justified (10[1])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■
