When he was 13, he became a pupil of the famous (1) composter Alexander Glazunov at the Petrograd Conservatoire. Shostakovich was happy because he liked Glazunov’s music a lot. Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his first (2) symphony in 1925 and it was performed all over the world. Every year until he died, Shostakovich celebrated its (3) first night as the moment when his life changed forever. Shostakovich’s Second Symphony (4) appeared in 1927. It was an experimental work with a (5) choral ending when the choir sang “To October” by Alexander Bezymensky. In the years of the Great Terror (in the late 1930s), his music was criticised, the critics said it was (6) tuneless and complicated. In December 1941, D. Shostakovich (who lived in besieged Leningrad) wrote his most famous “Leningrad Symphony”. It is a real (7) masterpiece. Its first night (8) took place in the besieged city in 1942.

Even now many orchestras (12) continue to perform Shostakovich’s music all over the world.
