The topic of my bachelor thesis is to introduce film music of Dmitrij Shostakovich, to study some of the major compositions, which are partly analyzed, but without any concrete example.
My goal is to bring the reader closer to the way the composer dealt with this particular kind of music, which is of no lesser quality to his standart repertoire.
I managed to illustrate political situation of given time period and conditions in which the works were composed, eventually edited.
An the end I would like to recommend some of the recordings with great interpretation of film music of Dmitri Shostakovich.
