Camille Saint-Saens: His music is sexy.
DSCH- The 10th Symphony of Shostakovich was written shortly after Stalin’s death, and is said to be a mockery of Stalin in music. In German Notation, Shostakovich’s abbreviated name spelled out DSCH (or D, E-flat, C, B). The motif is recurring in the fourth movement, and represents how Shostakovich survived Stalin, and that he would be remember for great things.
