The Symphony No. 11 in G minor (Opus 103; subtitled The Year 1905) by Dmitri Shostakovich was written in 1957 to mark the fourtieth anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1905 ... - oops, that's 52 years, isn't it? Obviously, the work was written for the fourtieth anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1917, but deals with the events from the Russian Revolution of 1905. Until anybody can confirm this, I removed the sentence (the grammar was broken anyway). -- FordPrefect42 22:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
