"(Play the opening movement) so that flies drop dead in mid-air, and the audience start leaving the hall from sheer boredom."
--Dmitri Shostakovich (instructions on playing his String Quartet #15)
Included in this mix, among the 15th's first movement, are other fly-dropping works which I find possess beauty, loneliness, overheard conversations, whispers and elegy.
