year. After completing the sketch score in April 1971, he wrote the orchestral score in June while receiving medical treatment in the town of <a href="/wiki/Kurgan,_Kurgan_Oblast" title="Kurgan, Kurgan Oblast">Kurgan</a>.

Its scheduled world premiere in September was postponed when Shostakovich suffered his second heart attack earlier that month. Following a two-month hospitalization, Shostakovich recovered well enough to attend rehearsals for the Fifteenth's premiere starting in late December 1971. The premiere took place in Moscow on January 8, 1972, performed by the <a href="/wiki/All-Union_Radio_and_Television_Symphony_Orchestra" class="mw-redirect" title="All-Union Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra">All-Union Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra</a> conducted by <a href="/wiki/Maxim_Shostakovich" title="Maxim Shostakovich">Maxim Shostakovich</a>.

Immediate critical reaction to the symphony was overwhelmingly positive in the Soviet Union, but mixed in the West. </p><p>Shostakovich's extensive use of musical quotation in the Fifteenth has attracted speculation since its premiere. He initially likened the first movement to a "toyshop", but later cautioned listeners against taking his description too precisely. A quotation from <a href="/wiki/Gioacchino_Rossini" class="mw-redirect" title="Gioacchino Rossini">Gioacchino Rossini</a>'s <a href="/wiki/William_Tell_Overture" title="William Tell Overture"><i>William Tell</i> Overture</a> recurs throughout the first movement, while the last movement quotes from a song by <a href="/wiki/Mikhail_Glinka" title="Mikhail Glinka">Mikhail Glinka</a> and from <a href="/wiki/Richard_Wagner" title="Richard Wagner">Richard Wagner</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/G%C3%B6tterd%C3%A4mmerung" title="Götterdämmerung">Götterdämmerung</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Tristan_und_Isolde" title="Tristan und Isolde">Tristan und Isolde</a></i>. Critics have also detected in the symphony further quotations and allusions, from other composers as well as Shostakovich's own music. Bernard Jacobson wrote in 1972 that the symphony's lasting appeal was secured because it made use of "one of [Shostakovich's] greatest expressive assets—a teasing and often powerfully affective emotional ambivalence".<sup id="cite_ref-jacobson_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jacobson-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Symphony_No._15_(Shostakovich)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Composition">Composition</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Symphony_No._15_(Shostakovich)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Composition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Maxim_Shostakovich_1967.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Maxim_Shostakovich_1967.jpg/220px-Maxim_Shostakovich_1967.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="282" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Maxim_Shostakovich_1967.jpg/330px-Maxim_Shostakovich_1967.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/Maxim_Shostakovich_1967.jpg/440px-Maxim_Shostakovich_1967.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1112" data-file-height="1426" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Maxim_Shostakovich" title="Maxim Shostakovich">Maxim Shostakovich</a>, conductor of the Fifteenth Symphony's premiere</figcaption></figure> <p>Shostakovich began to prepare the Fifteenth Symphony in late 1970.
