Talk:Symphony No. 8 (Shostakovich)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's good to have the source given, but "(Wilson p. 174)" isn't much use unless you already know what Wilson is - any chance of a full citation under a "References" heading or something? --Camembert

[edit] flute solo in finale

The article says that the solo flute in the coda plays the C-D-C motif (the primary motive of the finale and the inversion of that for the first movement). But the eighth note motion is only in the pizzicato violas; the flute joins for only the last note in each instance.

Also, none of the strings are tremolo in the coda. The violins are sustaining a C major triad and the rest of the strings are pizzicato. 71.104.166.112 14:47, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
