Sonatas for Cello and Piano

Album by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & Luba Edlina & Yuli Turovsky

Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 40 is a sonata by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1934. The work uses stark melodic lines and abrupt dynamic shifts alongside concise piano writing that move late-Romantic harmony into a 20th-century modern idiom, and it was written early in Shostakovich's career as he developed a distinct voice within the Soviet musical scene.
