This is a very dangerous thing to say. He could find you and your family using his psychic formalist powers and make you listen to his music to make you ill!!!

ohhh boo hoo my lezginka too authentic my organism too complex

My music too dental drill my drawer too full of shit

I can't get over Shostakovich silly baby mouse. How is this a real work with opus number and everything. I'm in actual tears

Imagine dedicating your life and work to trying to preserve Soviet culture only to be remembered as “the dumbass named Troikin” in Antiformalist Rayok by future generations. I aspire to be this level of petty

when one of my friends/family stupidly plays a song by one of my fave composers by accident so they then get stuck listening to a 20 minute speech from me about the history of the composer including various complimentary fun facts

First thing I'm doing in the afterlife is open-mouth kissing Dmitri Shostakovich to thank him for writing his fifth symphony

This is so real

HAAHJAHAHA PERFORMATIVE SHOSTAKOVICH I HAVE A PHOTO OF HIM WITH A QZ I NEED TO FIND IT

he's a 10 but he keeps thinking about and reciting yevtushenko's impressions of shostakovich

he's a 10 but he was a great man in a badly gilded cage. could he have loved his cage? of course not. he hated it, and broke his teeth and fingernails on its bars. but the roaring of this big hunted beast inside his cage was worth more, much more, than the carefree twittering of many so-called free birds-

He’s still a 10
