of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony take a position on its being either triumphant or sarcastic? Or, how can a cover or a remix of a pop song change meaning and expression in relation to the original? I’d be happy to hear about insightful discussions of any
kind, including in magazine articles, record reviews, etc.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
