Dsch shostakovich edition

Click here to see a sample. Users of this edition praise the paper quality and print size. Not much help is provided with fingering suggestions though. Contains fingering suggestions which are very much needed! A sample of this is seen in the Amazon link for the first sonata. The short version of the story is that Shostakovich did not initiate the production of this edition.

So this edition has existed all during the time of Gutman, Geringas, Georgian, and other major recording artists recorded this piece many of them Rostropovich students. Yet all of them recorded the second edition, the one that Rostropovich played, and Shostakovich preferred. Of course, by all means, consult the DSCH, to see what changes Kubatsky made 37 years after the work's conception. But please hear Shostakovich's voice in that the truth will be found in his own manuscript.

If you have the IMC, Peters, or the old SIkorski editions, I would like to offer you some alternative readings of passages based on the first edition below. The MS has this entire movement played con sord. I will use the DSCH bar numbering for the first movement it's different from the other editions. Working with both Richard Danielpour and David del Tredici in rehearsal for first performances amounted almost to rewriting their quartets—pitches and tempi both altered freely.
