Shostakovich: Symphony No. 4. Op. 43. Score

This edition is based on the text of the symphony published in Vol. 2 of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Collected
Works (Muzyka Publishers, Moscow, 1982).
When preparing the score, the following editions were also used:
— the 1962 and 1976 editions of the score (Sovetsky kompositor Publishers, Moscow);
— copy of the 1962 edition of the score with author’s corrections belonging to Gennadi Rozhdestvensky; the glass duplicated edition of the piano score of the symphony (Muzfond USSR, Moscow, 1946);
— the symphony arrangement for piano four hands by Levon Atovmian, which was published
during the author’s lifetime (Sovetsky kompositor Publishers, Moscow, 1969).                                             Any inaccuracies and slips of the pen found in the previous editions are corrected without specification. The necessary editing additions are given in square brackets.
