Galina Ustvolskaya (born June 17, 1919) is a Russian composer of classical music. Born in St Petersburg, she was a pupil of Dmitri Shostakovich from 1939 to 1947 but showed few of his stylistic influences. As a Modernism|modernist, she had few public performances. Until the fall of the USSR, only the violin sonata of 1952 was played with any frequency. On an exchange visit, Roy Harris of the American delegation found it "kind of ugly". Given the secular priorities of life in the Soviet Union, it is surprising that four of her symphonies, but not the first (1955), have Christian subtitles.
She is also the author of "Compositions" (numbers 1 to 3). Her "Sonata No. 6" has been recorded. It is dissonant and monotempic. She could be classed as a new Russian mystic, along with Sofia Gubaidulina. She is a recluse. composer-stub Category:1919 births|Ustvolskaya, Galina Category:Russian composers|Ustvolskaya, Galina Category:Women composers|Ustvolskaya, Galina Category:20th century classical composers|Ustvolskaya, Galina This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
