Shostakovich's Ninth

[Henny van der Groep <tijgervink...>]

You've been of great help already. I've all kinds of music from Weprik, 
Gnessin to listen to and I enjoy it very much. My next question concerns 
the last movement of the Ninth.  Perhaps you would like to listen to the 
next fragment on Amazon.co.uk from op.70 the Allegretto.

And perhaps then you may be know whether this main theme comes from a 
Jewish dance. If you could e-mail me the name of this dance then I'm 
completely happy.
Best wishes, Henny
