The music of Shostakovich has been at the centre of interest of
both the general public and dedicated scholars throughout the last
twenty years. Most of the relevant literature, however, is of a
biographical nature. The focus of this book is musical irony. It
offers new methodologies for the semiotic analysis of music, and
inspects the ironical messages in Shostakovich's music
independently of political and biographical bias. Its approach to
music is interdisciplinary, comparing musical devices with the
artistic principles and literary analyses of satire, irony, parody
and the grotesque. Each one of these is firstly inspected and
defined as a separate subject, independent of music. The results of
these inspections are subsequently applied to music, firstly music
in general and then more specifically to the music of Shostakovich.
The composer's cultural and historical milieux are taken into
account and, where relevant, inspected and analysed separately
before their application to the music.
