Concerto DSCH is a ballet by Alexei Ratmansky choreographed for the New York City Ballet to the music of Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Major, Op. 102 (1957). The premiere took place on Thursday, May 29, 2008, at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center. The ballet's title derives from the composer's use of DSCH, his musical monogram.[1] Wendy Whelan, one of the creators of the ballet, performed the second movement of the ballet at her farewell performance.[2]
