Dmitri Shostakovich, noun.
Dmitri Shostakovich was a Russian classical composer who lived through the oppression of the Soviet Union, and lived from
September 25, 1906 to August 9th, 1975. He is regarded to have composed pieces which had objected to the tyrannical power of the Soviet Union, which were also known to be some of the most intense in the history of classical, such as his Fifth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth symphonies. He had composed pieces on other topics, such as various historical events like the 1905 and the 1918 Russian revolutions.
In the midst of his musical career, he was denounced and had gained a condition of depression that would never recover. He was known by his family to be obsessed with cleanliness and
organization, and would frequently synchronize all of the family's clocks. He also had favored
playing cards and soccer.
