Concerto in C minor for Piano, Trumpet and String Orchestra and Symphony No. 9 are orchestral compositions by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1933 and 1945 respectively. The concerto juxtaposes virtuosic piano writing with a prominent trumpet part and brisk, neoclassical textures, while the Ninth Symphony employs a leaner, more concise orchestral language that represents a stylistic shift from his larger wartime symphonies and signals a change in his compositional approach.
