"I couldn’t write an apotheosis for Stalin, I simply couldn’t. I knew what was coming to me when I wrote my Ninth symphony. But I did make a musical description of Stalin in my next symphony, the Tenth. I wrote it immediately after Stalin’s death, and no one has yet guessed what the symphony is about. It is about Stalin and his time. The second part, the Scherzo, is a musical portrait of Stalin, more or less. Of course, there are a lot of other things in the symphony, but this is its core."
