Symphonies Nos. 9 and 15 are orchestral works by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1945 and 1971 respectively. They contrast sharply in scale and character, with the earlier work being brief and scherzo-like while the later is more expansive and reflective, illustrating the composer's stylistic evolution and preoccupations in his later career.
