Abstract

Ovaj se diplomski rad bavi odabranim djelima Dmitrija Šostakoviča i njihovim obilježjima na temelju kojih se pokušava odgovoriti na pitanje u kojoj su mjeri zaista politička zbivanja u Savezu Socijalističkih Sovjetskih Republika utjecala na Šostakovičevo stvaralaštvo. Suočen s dvama javnim osudama, neosporno je da je Šostakovič morao prilagođavati svoj glazbeni jezik socijalističkoj diktaturi koja je propagirala „socijalistički realizam“ kao jedini prihvatljivi umjetnički stil u državi, što se realiziralo kao legitimno sredstvo za širenje ideologije. Osim poželjnog citiranja (ruskih narodnih pjesama, pravoslavnih napjeva ili referenci na djela poznatih ruskih skladatelja), Šostakovič je u svoje skladbe utkao vlastite citate, aluzije i značenja koja se manifestiraju u obliku ezopovskog stila te je na taj način utro put drugim skladateljima koji su se nastavili boriti protiv politizacije umjetnosti.

Abstract (english)

This graduate thesis engages with selected works of Dmitri Shostakovich and their features upon which one attempts to resolve the question of to what extent did the political events in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics really influence Shostakovich’s works. Faced with two public condemnations, it is undisputed that Shostakovich had to adjust his musical idiom to socialist dictatorship which disseminated “socialist realism” as the only admissible art in the state, having achieved legitimate means to spread its ideology. Apart from desirable citation (of Russian folk songs, orthodox chants or references to famous Russian composers’ works), Shostakovich fabricated his own citations, allusions and meanings in his work, which manifest as Aesopian style. That gave Shostakovich necessary potential to pave the way for other composers who continued his fight against politization of arts.
