String Quartet no. 8 in C minor, op. 110

EP by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich & Douaumont

String Quartet No. 8 in C minor, Op. 110 is the eighth string quartet by Dmitri Shostakovich, composed in 1960. The work is characterised by concentrated, often stark motifs, a cyclical structure and a predominantly sombre, introspective tone, and it occupies a central place in Shostakovich's late chamber output, reflecting personal and political tensions of the time.
