In 1925 at the end of his years at the St Petersburg Conservatory the 18-year-old Dmitri
Shostakovich presented Symphony No.1 in F minor op.10 as the final work of his studies. This
remarkable composition not only showcased his compositional maturity but also unveiled his
distinctive tonal language. Such renowned conductors as Bruno Walter Leopold Stokowski and
Arturo Toscanini were immediately impressed by its quality. The symphony quickly gained
recognition with numerous performances in Europe and the USA securing its place in the
symphonic repertoire. This volume is part of the revised and corrected new edition of all 15
symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich published by Boosey & Hawkes and Sikorski as large format
study scores for optimal legibility. All scores and the related orchestral parts have been
newly computer typeset and the orchestral parts are also compatible for performance use with
scores in 'The New Collected Works of Dmitri Shostakovich'.Instrumentation:orchestraop. 10
