When listeners think of Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–75), they are likely to envision a composer whose music is as close as music gets to bipolar, ricocheting from unbridled euphoria to despondency and terror, often settling on the latter. Such music is often encountered in the composer’s symphonies and string quartets, but the Five Pieces performed here are not that kind of music. They aspire only to entertain, to elicit a nod of agreeable connection, to prompt a welcome smile. The movements trace their ancestry to scores Shostakovich originally composed for film, ballet, and theater productions, with one questionable exception. But although he invented all the music, the performance as presented here is twice removed from the composer.
The recasting of the Five Pieces from their original versions was done by Shostakovich’s friend Levon Atovmyan (1901–73), a Turkmen composer, arranger, and man-about-the-music-industry. In the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s, Atovmyan created many composer-approved suites comprising movements from assorted Shostakovich works, including the four Ballet Suites and the suites from the film scores for The Gadfly (1955) and Hamlet (1932). Atovmyan apparently assembled the Five Pieces by 1970, and they were published under the rubric Five Pieces for Two Violins and Piano. The parts can also be played by two violas.

I. 前奏曲 0:00 II.Gavotte 2:00 Gavotte 2:00 III. Elegy 3:40 IV. 华尔兹 6:05 V. 波尔卡 7:43 当听众想到肖斯塔科维奇（Dmitri Shostakovich，1906-75）时，他们很可能会想到这样一位作曲家：他的音乐是接近两极的音乐，从肆无忌惮的兴奋到绝望和恐怖，往往会两极端重合。这样的音乐经常在作曲家的交响曲和弦乐四重奏中遇到，但这里演奏的《Five Pieces》不是那种音乐。这些曲子只渴望娱乐，渴望引起人们的点头同意，并对观众露出欢迎的微笑。这些乐章可以追溯到肖斯塔科维奇最初为电影、芭蕾舞和戏剧作品创作的乐曲，但有一个值得怀疑的例外。不过，虽然他作曲了这些曲子，但这里所呈现的表演却与作曲家当初的版本有了两次改动。将《Five Pieces》从原来的版本中重铸出来，是由肖斯塔科维奇的朋友列文-阿托夫米扬(Levon Atovmyan)（1901-73）完成的，他是土库曼斯坦作曲家、编曲家，也是音乐界的人。在20世纪40年代、50年代和60年代，阿托夫米扬创作了许多作曲家认可的套曲，包括肖斯塔科维奇作品中的乐章，包括四首芭蕾舞套曲和《牛虻》（1955年）和《哈姆雷特》（1932年）的电影配乐套曲。阿托夫米扬显然在1970年之前完成了《Five Pieces》的创作，并以《双小提琴和钢琴五首曲子》为题出版。这些部分也可以由两把小提琴演奏。
