Soviet composer (1906–1975) whose fifteen symphonies occupy a place of central performance in the orchestral literature of the twentieth century. ALS in Russian, signed “D. Shostakovich,” one page, 8 x 11.25, November 25, 1970. Letter to the "Main Political Agency of the Soviet Army," in full (translated): "Having reviewed the work of the com. Grigory Vladimirovich Bragin, I came to the conclusion, that he is a gifted and serious musician—a professional in his work. Considering his active and productive work, I find it indispensable to file an application for awarding him the title of Distinguished Cultural figure of RSFSR." After his signature, Shostakovich has added: "Composer People's artist of USSR." In fine condition, with one small faint stain.
