Symphony no. 11 in G minor, 'The Year 1905', op. 103

Symphony No. 11 in G minor, Op. 103, 'The Year 1905' is the eleventh symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, completed in 1957. The work adopts a broadly programme-like structure, employing march-like motifs, expansive orchestral colours and episodic tableaux to evoke the revolutionary events of 1905, and it marks a turning point in Shostakovich's mid-career focus on overtly historical and political subjects.
