Dmitri Shostakovich Sheet Music

Who it's for

• Advanced pianists seeking substantial solo repertoire and pedagogical challenge
• String musicians working through chamber music and duet literature
• Conductors programming masterwork arrangements for orchestras and bands

What's inside

• Solo piano cycles: 24 Preludes and Fugues Op.87 (two volumes) and 24 Preludes Op.34
• Chamber works for violin, cello, and piano; duets and sonatas across grades 3.5 to 6
• Orchestral arrangements in conductor score and parts; string orchestra, concert band, and full orchestra formats
• Multiple editions and delivery options: printed scores and parts, digital downloads, and oversized conductor editions

Things to consider

The 24 Preludes and Fugues volumes work best as long-term projects for intermediate-to-advanced pianists; break the cycle into smaller performance groups rather than attempting the full sequence at once. For conductors, check which arrangement format suits your ensemble size and rehearsal setup: conductor score alone versus full score and parts. Chamber works like the Cello Sonata and violin duets pair naturally with private lesson planning or chamber recitals and typically require performers comfortable at Grade 4 or above.
