Published by Baton Music. BF.BM454-SCORE. As a contribution to the opera 'Armer Columbus' by German composer Erwin Dressel, Shostakovich composed two of his quirkiest and oddest early orchestral pieces. An energetic 'Entr'acte' in c minor. Allegretto poco moderato. , also known as the Overture. although it appears before the sixth scene of the opera. followed by a hilariously noisy 'Finale'. Moderato - Andantino - Allegro. with mock American dance-music, a parade of American sailors. presumably on ships in New York harbour. Shostakovich's contributions were intended to overcome a couple of dramatic weaknesses in Dressel's score and to underline more strongly the Communist politics of this idea.Translation
