Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a resource to those who wish to gain a deeper understanding on the technical aspects of Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata Op. 147 based on F.

Druzhinin’s viola part and recordings are examined to provide technical suggestions to performers. Preparing this article, books and F.

The headlines inside the study are as follows; an overview of Shostakovich’s life and viola sonata, other composers and artists that have influenced Shostakovich’s music (Ludwig Van Beethoven and Nicolai Gogol) and performance suggestions given based on F. Druzhinin’s viola part and recording. For the music examples in this article Moscow: Publishers Musika, 1984, Collected Works in forty-two volumes: (Vol.38, viola part edited by F.
