Style and Technique
Unlike Popov, Ryazanov and Asafiev, who were considered progressive in their musical outlook, Dzerzhinsky from the outset wrote works that were considered traditional. His First Piano Concerto, early songs and piano pieces were influenced by Grieg, Rachmaninoff and early Ravel.In the early 1930s he was influenced by Shostakovich's music, particular in his Second Piano Concerto, which he wrote in 1934. (This piece was criticized officially much later.)
