About "Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor, Op. 77: IV. Burlesque. Allegro con brio - Presto" by David Oistrakh

The final Burlesque is a runaway train of irony, Oistrakh’s violin careening through Shostakovich’s circus. Allegro con brio—then Presto, a breathless sprint into the abyss, grinning all the way down.
