Loyalty (Shostakovich)
- ... that the "favorable comparisons of Lenin to Confucius, Buddha, and Allah" in Dmitri Shostakovich's Loyalty "achieved new levels of ludicrous flattery"? Source: Dmitry Shostakovich by Pauline Fairclough (2019), p. 151
- ALT1: ... that the texts set by Dmitri Shostakovich in his Loyalty have been described as "truly dreadful"? Source: Dmitry Shostakovich by Pauline Fairclough (2019), p. 151
- ALT2: ... that Dmitri Shostakovich's paean to Lenin, Loyalty, is said to be the closest the atheist composer came to writing religious music? Source: "Shostakovich was not a religious believer and he wrote no church music. In a strange way, this work is the nearest he came to music of this kind." [1]

Very interesting article, and it raises some interesting questions. The article is long enough, new enough, and well written. AGF on offline sources, but anyone who has heard the piece would probably agree with many of the judgments. QPQ done, hooks are interesting, in the article, and referenced. I prefer ALT2, although ALT0 is also excellent. Nice work. Constantine ✍ 18:39, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
