About This Song

About "String Quartet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 68 : Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 68: 3. Valse (Allegro)" by Borodin Quartet

A waltz that smiles through clenched teeth. The Borodin Quartet teases out Shostakovich's bitter irony, where a salon melody staggers under hidden dread. Vivid, unsettling, and strangely beautiful—a dance on the edge of a precipice.
