October (Shostakovich)
''October'', Op. 131, is a symphonic poem composed by Dmitri Shostakovich to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the October Revolution in 1967. He was spurred to compose the work after reencountering his score for the Vasilyev brothers' 1937 film , reusing its "Partisan Song" in ''October''. Although Shostakovich completed the work quickly, the process of writing it fatigued him physically because of his deteriorating motor functions. The world premiere of ''October'' was played on September 16, 1967, by the USSR State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maxim Shostakovich, the composer's son. He had been vying to conduct the world premiere of the Violin Concerto No. 2, but was offered ''October'' instead. The American premiere took place on October 10, 1988, at Avery Fisher Hall, played by the New York Philharmonic conducted by Andrew Davis.

Music Encyclopedia Topics/34
Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm or otherwise expressive content. Exact definitions of music vary considerably around the world, though it is an aspect of all human societies, a cultural universal.
