Offering in memoriam Dmitri Shostakovich 鋼琴四重奏

斯汀的作品《Prinoshenye》（祭品）是獻給吉東-克雷默的 "紀念德米特裡-肖斯塔科維奇 "的作品，於 2005 年在維也納音樂廳首演。作曲家將我們對肖斯塔科維奇的瞭解--迴旋曲式、以幽默打破殘酷現實--作為其作品的創作理念。在肖斯塔科維奇的音樂中，小丑元素扮演著重要角色。我認為，這是他在所有外在依賴中找到內心獨立的地方"。"正因如此，伍斯汀的音樂以一種嬉鬧玩耍、近乎瘋狂卻又尖銳諷刺的方式出現，閃閃發光、冒泡、躡手躡腳、隆隆作響、劍拔弩張--最後突然以一個陰沉的和絃結束，仿佛悲傷的情緒會透過破碎的妝容閃現出來

原文簡介:
Wustin's work ' Prinoshenye' (offering) is dedicated to Gidon Kremer 'in memory of Dmitri Shostakovitch' and was premiered at the Vienna Konzerthaus in 2005. What we know of Shostakovitch – the scherzo-like, the humorous as a means to break the harsh reality – has been taken by the composer as idea for his work. 'In Shostakovitch's music, the clownish element plays an important role. I think that this is where he found his inner independence despite all outer dependence.' And this is why Wustin's music comes across in a jauntily playful, almost crazy, yet also sharp and sarcastic manner, sparkling, bubbling, tiptoeing, rumbling, rattling – and suddenly ending with a single sombre chord as if the sadness would shine through the make-up that crumbles away.
