Preludes & Fugues, op. 87

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Yulianna Avdeeva

Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87 is a cycle of 24 piano pieces by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1950–51 and published in 1951. The work uses the Baroque prelude-and-fugue model to traverse all major and minor keys, pairing concise, often introspective preludes with rigorous contrapuntal fugues that reflect Shostakovich's neoclassical tendencies and his mature compositional voice in mid-20th-century Soviet music.
