Glinka official museum. State Central Museum of Music Culture
Museum of Glinka, or the Central Museum of Musical Culture, demonstrates a huge collection of instruments of all eras and peoples, the number of exhibits of which is approaching thousand. From historical rarebacks to modern devices to extract sounds can be seen in this extensive assembly. The main building of the museum association is built specifically for this repository, the basis of which was the exhibits collected by enthusiasts from the Moscow Conservatory from the date of its foundation in 1866.
The lobby of the Museum of Glinka meets visitors by the Bust of the Great Composer, the tank and text quotes of the author of the patriotic song, for some time the former Russian anthem. The notes of this work are accompanied by informal text, which together with music claimed the status of a state symbol in the royal time.
Here, visitors get acquainted with the announcements of events, leave upper clothes, acquire entrance tickets to a permanent exhibition or thematic exhibitions. The main constant exposition is located on the 2nd floor, on the 3rd, temporary shows are organized on a variety of topics.
One of the remarkable exhibits is placed in the lobby, the recent acquisition of the Glinka Museum is European orchestrion. This mechanical tool recreates the sound of the instrumental orchestra, such devices were used in a number of European countries as musical accompaniment of dance events.
Musical instruments located on the front side of a peculiar orchestra are publishing characteristic sounds for them, accordions at the same time even demonstrate the movements of the fur. In Russia, such distribution tools did not have, the more interesting acquaintance with orchestrionon for our lovers of musical wonder.
The second floor, which enlists the main exposition of the Museum of Glinka, begins the spacious Hall, where various exhibitions dedicated to musical culture are held. The main decoration of the room is a picturesque color stained glass window, which is much larger on the outside of the building.
The massive staircase leads to the 3rd floor for visiting thematic temporary exposures. A composition of several bells resembles the role of a church ring as in the life of the Russian people and in the musical preferences of Glinka.
Also in the lobby is installed organ of the work of the German master of Laelegast, who since 1868 the descendant of the merchant kind of Khludovy, since 1868, the only preserved product of this master. Presented by the Moscow Conservatory and replaced several other owners, the tool was practically ruined.
The difficult restoration of the insides of the body was held in 1998 by Vilnius authority masters under the leadership of Guchassa. Now this tool is positioned as the oldest body in Russia, which has retained performance, and it is really used with organized by the Mrinka of organ concerts.
The permanent exposition of the Glinka Museum, telling about the history of origin and the wide variety of musical instruments of the peoples of the world, is located in five rooms of the second floor. Different colors of the background of the window of the showcases are clearly separated from each other. The division of halls representing the most ancient of the well-known tools is produced by geographical principle. A separate hall is allocated to European exhibits with division by country, the remaining continents are divided within another hall with the allocation of exposure of individual countries.
Then the halls represent the tools that differ in accessories to the brass or symphonic, shock and keyboard. Mechanical and electronic musical instruments are allocated, devices for recording sound and playback from various media.
Vintage European musical instruments
How correctly such a choice of the principle of demonstration of musical instruments is to be able to deal with professionals, but the differences in the method of extracting sound seem more principled and visual, rather than national and state. After all, the shape of the pipe, how much differences are great, it is still recognizable.
You can not confuse the drum or other percussion instruments. And the clarification of information about the place of origin of the exhibit, attributing it to a certain type of musical instruments and other details are still a majority of visitors is carried out by explanatory inscriptions.
Russian folk musical instruments are collected in the Glinka Museum in a large assortment and species diversity. Here, the tools of other peoples inhabiting the national republics as part of the Russian Federation. Impact tools are widely represented - after all, they apply the easiest, but diverse method for extracting sounds, from simple collisions of objects, for which even wooden spoons are used to crack different devices and execution.
Naturally, our ancestors had horns from cow horns and pipes from wood. Could craft removing sounds even from the canvas of a saw and braids blades, but it is rather from the area of \u200b\u200bthe musical eccentric. The main string tool of Russian people - the hussli used in Russia from time immemorial. Also, the string plug is a balalaika, with all the simplicity of the device, the virtuosos is performed on them any melodies. Finally, Russian harmonica is the main folk instrument for a long time
String tools of different peoples are visually similar, but the progenitor of all strings is the Scythian harp from the rest of the conifers. It does not yet have a resonant body and a grid, and a common feature is a way to extract sounds with the help of thumb into the string.
Plug-in string tools developed from ancient lyure and harp to lute, domra, mandolines, balalaiki and guitars, which preserved the greatest popularity to the present. Claviersis, piano and piano are also related to pinch string tools of shock action on the string, for which the keys come up with the drive system.
In an updated exposure, the European section is replenished with the tools of Belarusians and Ukrainians, Moldovan and Baltic peoples. As before, the tools of the countries of the Mediterranean and Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe are widely represented. String tools are exhibited both pinch and bow, with different forms of the resonant body and a bow. The simplest xylophones represent a group of shock tools.
In several modifications are pushing, which usually consider Scottish and Irish traditional tools. This is true, but other peoples used a similar device with air fur and tubes with the tongue formation of sounds. These are the French Muzett, Portuguese Gaita, Duda and Dudomesak of Eastern Europe.
Musical instruments of eastern countries
The countries of the East were the first to invented the bow to extract sounds from stretched strings, historians consider pioneers of the musicians living in the territory of the current Uzbekistan. From here, the bow came to China and India, in the Arab countries and from them to Pyrenees. A shepherd violin of three strings - Rabel, as well as a viola with a large number of strings. The last later were ousted by violins and their larger relatives. Oriental string tools are often characterized by longer griffs, although there are designs and short.
Big variety are distinguished wind and shock tools of eastern peoples. Bamboo trunks were often used for winds, other hollow plants stems. The percussion instruments were also made from tree trunks, hollowing out the core. The selected animal skins tensioned on the frames from various materials were used. In addition to stationary drums, manual drummers like tambourines were popular, sometimes supplemented with pubbeds.
The Japanese peculiarity of national clothing is much more important than the differences between Japanese musical instruments from all others. The percussion instruments of the Japanese were usually located on curly stands, various materials were used for enclosures, even porcelain and other ceramics. Close to traditional forms for other nations have string and wind instruments, and it is difficult to invent something excellent in these areas.
Eastern countries used for the manufacture of musical instruments various materials, from stone, wood and metal to silk, leather and even extended pumpkin shells. Special attention was paid to the external design of their products, their decorative attractiveness.
The painting and carving, traditional for each people, were decorated with musical instruments, precisely on these elements. It is easiest to identify xylophones, drums and other tools from other countries belonging to the culture of other countries.
Ancient treble workshop in the Glinka Museum
The creation of violins and other brook tools was long and is now the work of high complexity. Preparation of wood for different parts and parts of tools required the possession of many technological operations - cutting and drilling, measurements and various methods of connecting parts. The tools and devices necessary for these work are presented on the workbench of the violin wizard in the recreated interior of the workshop for the manufacture of musical instruments.
The masters of a violin business could make a product of any size, from violin and viola to cello and giant double bass. The violin could also be both classic sizes and twice and even four times less.
In the placed room restored in the Museum, you can see all the stages of manufacturing tools, from a wooden board to the finished violin or cello. You can consider all composite parts - the front and rear decoupie and connecting them to the shell, the neck with the subband and the jumper to lay the strings.
Classic Music Tools Museum Glinka
The tools used by modern musicians are represented by visitors of the Glinka Museum in several expositions. Components of symphony and brass orchestras are exhibited, accessories of musical ensembles of various composition. String - bow and keyboards are adjacent to wind, wooden and copper.
One of the museum corners contains genuine treasures - concert harp and collectible piano for home use. The perfectly balanced harp is stable on its small foundation, a resonator from the valuable tree is harmonized with the gilding of the column and cervix, the shape of which is especially despicable and attractive.
Show-windows of the bottom tools are located on the sides of the picturesque fabric depicting the greatest master of the game on the violin of the Genoese Niccolo Paganini. It was this violinist and the composer that developed the game technique for a violin, which remained almost unchanged to the present day.
In addition to the violin, Paganini owned the same impeccably mandolina and guitar. Popular compositions of the Great Artist, written both for violin and guitar. The most popular violinist competition in the world is held in the homeland of Paganini, in the Italian genome.
The showcase of classic wind instruments shows them in the order of increasing the size, first the varieties of wooden tools are presented, further - copper. Such a division is saved from ancient times and now does not correspond to reality - a group of wooden flutes, clarinets, goby and gadgets can be manufactured far from wood. They can be plastic and metal, flutes - even glass. Related by musicologists to Wooden on the principle of the Saxophone, which did not have an ancient analogs, was always made of metal.
On the other hand, copper instruments were made only from this metal only at the dawn of the metallurgy development, copper alloys or silver are now used. The copper tool group includes a pipe, horn, trombone and tube. Tools of this series have the increasing dimensions and complexity of the device. A somewhat mansion is a trombone having a movable scene for smooth change in the height of the sound.
Almost all wind instruments include, in addition to the brass bands, in symphony orchestras and ensembles. Dixielands and jazz collectives also use them.
The combination of stretched strings and shock mechanisms controlled by keyboard is characteristic of concert musical instruments to which the piano, piano and piano include. Part of the specialists consider piano and piano by the varieties of piano, characterized by the horizontal or vertical arrangement of the strings.
From the middle of the last century, only pianos and piano, traditional pianos, having less expressive possibilities due to lower strings, went to history. The piano is predominantly used in concert activity as a vocal support tool either independently, piano - for home or chamber musication.
We are demonstrated in the Museum of Glinka and the predecessors of the current keyboard tools, both strings and boring. The string includes a shock keycorder and tweezing harpsory, and the tongue fisharmonium is related to harmonics, bayans and accordions. The first tool with air furs was the desktop harmonica of Kirchner, who worked in Russia of Cech. Unlike her and the usual hand tools, the fur of the Fisharmonic was powered by foot pedals.
From scarmer to synthesizer
The last hall of the Glinka Museum presents several tools that are not included in the clip of the ensembles and orchestras, the ancient means of playing recorded sounds. Here are the unique exhibits, quite rare in the collections of museums and individuals. Among them there is a shaman, which many people are heard about, but not all visitors have seen.
The instrument on the device is a small organ, air discharge and the operation of the sound mechanism is ensured by the rotation of the handle on the housing. Sharmanns were used by stray musicians, their sounds accompanied the performances of the boalan circus artists.
The creation of the first recording and reproducing devices has a specific pioneer, they were the famous Edison inventor. In 1877, the phonograph designed in 1877 provided a record and reproduction of sounds of a sharp needle on the roller, wrapped with tin foil or wax paper covered.
The record on the flat circular plate was invented by Berliner, reproduced the sound with devices with an external vehicle - gramophone. The devices with hidden in the housing of the gun released the company PATE, hence the name of the patefone. Further sound recording was quickly: magnetic ribbons, laser discs, digital sound recording of high quality.
The rare photoelectric sound synthesizer ANS, called at the initials of the great composer Scriabin, invented Russian Murzin in the late 1930s of the last century, and was made only in 1963. The unusual sounds of this device can remember the viewers of the fantastic films of the Tarkovsky and Diamond Hand Guidai.
Music on it created a composer without writing notes and attracting the orchestra. Synthesizers also developed rapidly, with the invention of transistors, they have become compact and affordable. Now synthesizers have all the musical groups of various genres.
Another notable exhibit of the Museum of Glinka was the giant percussion installation of a musician and a composer, a tireless experimentator R. Shafi. Manual control of a similar complex complex of drums and drums is clearly impossible,
Shafi invented a unique pedal of control of the serpent Gorynych, which due to the number of serviced tools got into the Guinness book. There are in this section and other curious exhibits, including personal tools of famous musicians.
A visit to the Glinka Museum may seem optional after a story about him, but such an impression is extremely mistaken. There is a lot of interesting things here, it is difficult to describe in a quick review, there are new interesting forms of work with visitors. To visit it here's informative and interesting to people with any level of interest and understanding of music, after visiting, this interest will definitely increase.
