Editing Dmitri Shostakovich (section)

=== Posthumous publications ===
In 2004 musicologist Olga Digonskaya discovered a trove of Shostakovich manuscripts at the Glinka State Central Museum of Musical Culture in Moscow. In a cardboard file were some "300 pages of musical sketches, pieces and scores" in Shostakovich's hand. <blockquote>A composer friend bribed Shostakovich's housemaid to regularly deliver the contents of Shostakovich's office waste bin to him, instead of taking it to the garbage. Some of those cast-offs eventually found their way into the Glinka. ... The Glinka archive "contained a huge number of pieces and compositions which were completely unknown or could be traced quite indirectly," Digonskaya said.{{r|LATimes20111127}}</blockquote>

Among these were Shostakovich's piano and vocal sketches for a prologue to an opera, ''[[Orango (opera)|Orango]]'' (1932). They were orchestrated by the British composer [[Gerard McBurney]] and premiered in December 2011 by the [[Los Angeles Philharmonic]] conducted by [[Esa-Pekka Salonen]].<ref name=LATimes20111127>{{cite web|last1=Loiko|first1=Sergei L.|author1-link=Sergey Loiko|last2=Johnson |first2=Reed |title=Shostakovich's ''Orango'' found, finished, set for Disney Hall |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-xpm-2011-nov-27-la-ca-orango-opera-20111127-story.html |work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=27 November 2011 |access-date=17 February 2012}}</ref>
