zhongwen doesnt work!
I've done version 1.0 of a rewrite: some NPOVing, cutting the rather ejaculatory account of the cello concerto, and expanding and (hopefully) clarifying the Testimony/revisionism section. I have a few hundred pages of stuff to work through on that, so more to come. I'll keep it concise. :) Markalexander100 05:08, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- If the Testimony debate has become such a large part of the article, why not spin it off to its own article? Crculver 14:33, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
It certainly wouldn't be a bad idea to have an article specifically on Testimony (at Testimony (book) with a note pointing there form Testimony), though there needs to be some mention of it here as well, of course. --Camembert
- Since the debate regarding "the extent to which Shostakovich expressed his opposition to the state in his other music" is a major part of today's Shostakovich perception, there would need to be more than a short mention here. gestumblindi
- I disagree. The extent to which Shostakovich stood against the Soviets in a major part of the perception of 25 years ago. Nowadays Shostakovich is seen more and more as just another socialist-realist composer who genuinely supported the Communist state. Thus I don't think there is anything lacking in this article.
