Dsch

DSCH is a musical motif used by the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich to represent himself, in the manner of the BACH motif of Johann Sebastian Bach. It consists of the notes D-E flat(Es)-C-B(H), in German notation, standing for his initials (Д. Ш.) in German spelling (D. Sch.). The motif occurs in many of his works including the Symphony No. 10 in E minor, the String Quartet No. 8 in C minor, the Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, the Cello Concerto No. 1 in E flat Major and the Opus 60 Piano Sonata No. 2 in B minor. DSCH is also the name of the standard journal of Shostakovich studies, and it is sometimes used as an abbreviation of the composer's name.
