Shostakovich has the look of a man who is about to annihilate you in chess.

A lot of people comment on how upset Shostakovich always looks in photos, and he had a lot of reason to be, but I think it's kind of sweet that the only photos ever of him smiling is when hes with his daughter.

I just completed ear surgery and gained my hearing back…

This music was worth it.

I am in love with this classical music. Yes, I am here because of the guy who summon an orchestra in a public airport. He did make a good public performance, but I am here for the music, itself. Oh, my life wouldn't be complete if I had never discovered this beautiful master piece! Deeply respect the person who led me to Shostakovich musical works.

This reminds me of my grandmother born in 1926. Whenever I asked her to play any music, she told me to play waltz. I miss You Kazia

There's something extremely nostalgic and sweet in this piece, as if old memories could come back during a dance

[ludwigvanbeethoven]

His music is filled with magic, he’s a genius

[solovevkiril]

When he wasn’t busy with music, he served as a firefighter in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), that was bombed and shelled by nazis every day. Comrade Shostakovich was a tough guy and a genius.

>Produces greatest work of instrumental music ever heard

I love how instead of a specific part being replayed a lot, the whole piece is the most replayed. Really just shows how great of a listen it is

[PlayWithKeyboard]

If you listening this, You have a wonderful taste of music.

[magnusnilsson]

The music in the dream you never want to leave.

The fact this has 70 million views is actually astounding to me. I'm so happy for my boy Dmitri.

[alex.mielus]

This waltz brings me to tears almost every time I hear it. Dunno why, it just does.

Шостаковичу мое почтение. Прекрасный вальс.

[VaheKantarjian]

This waltz is iconic. Someone would listen to it 200 years in the future and it still would be relevant.

Je ne l'aurais jamais crû si on m'avait dit cela il y a quelques années, mais je commence sérieusement à apprécier la musique classique.
