I actually had a conversation about this with someone yesterday. A friend of mine told me he just discovered that Waltz No. 2 was written by Shostakovich, and that it’s one of his favourite classical music pieces. I got really excited, and I ended up talking to him about the piece. He was very shocked to hear that Shostakovich was NOT a 19th century composer.

For the record, Shostakovich was born in 1906 and was alive to watch Jesus Christ Superstar.

And he really liked it!

Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2 appears in the most Victorian/Edwardian media of any song from the 1950s

...oh you think I'm kidding? nope. Suite for Variety Orchestra No. 1, c. 1956

does it sound like it literally spun into being from the ether as a vampire whirled her Gothic Heroine prey around a ballroom c. 1887? yes. but it was written in the 1950s and the first documented performance was in 1988 and we all have to come to terms with that (me) (it's me I have to come to terms with that) (I struggle so much with it)

#honestly the fame of waltz no 2 is actually so much more recent than people realise #shostakovich #dmitri shostakovich #shostposting #classical composer #classical music #music #btw yeah he really liked jesus christ superstar #really makes me think about how history isn’t as distant as we think it is #also waltz no 2 is an arrangement by atovmyan but thats a different story

i got my first ever commission half a year ago and I still wasn't paid lmao

I arranged Christmas carols for a Christmas concert, for a weird ensemble that didn't even make sense

(I'm not gonna ask for payment now, they probably already forgot something like this ever happened) (it's my fault for trying to be nice and believing they're gonna pay me eventually)

#the wordt part is that they haven't even used my work #i've been working my ass off for a week for these arrangements and they just didn't play them #“the piano versions on the internet were easier 🥺🥺” then why did you even commission me stfu #yeah no i didn't tell them that but i regret it #i should've yelled at them instead #music #classical composer #classical music
