The musician is honored as speakers and genius. Unusual musical abilities

The cliché about the composer-replacement, which loses the remnants of the mind over a music manuscript is unreasonably and even disappointing for modern musicians. According to James Roads, the popular pianist and the composer, between music, creativity and mentally and mental equilibrium there is a clearly proportional connection that does not harm, but on the contrary, supports the health and mood of creative people.

Etude about prejudice

Crazy composer ... a note for music pulls out music to the manuscript, dropped 7 kilograms, while he composed his last opera. The cold has long been turned into bronchitis for a long time, always suffers from cough, latter and malnutrition. Bubnits something under his nose, shouting at passersby, draws a tonal camp on napkins in cafes and restaurants. Sits for the piano alone, the extended, hungry and looks at the inscription on the wall: "It is not necessary to be crazy to compose music, but so easier"; The inscription, which is written by his own handwriting, his own blood.

This is not just a prejudice - it is a historic and cultural cliché that has become part of the social perception of all artists. But it is as mistakenly as widespread.

Cause Cliche

True lies in the fact that the relationship between madness and creativity is as strong and logical, as well as the causal relationship between the zodiac sign and intelligence.

The fact that the Society decided to tie madness and creativity is very easily explained. As else we, simple mortals, we can explain the incredible creative power of such geniuses as Mozart or Beethoven. Of course, it is easier for us to explain it with some strange mental disorder or psychological ailment. We can't agree that both of these people were absolutely ordinary, otherwise the magic is lost? And what to do with the question: why am I not?

What is madness?

Creativity is an extremely wide concept. Music creation becomes for composers not just work, and passion and love of life, the cause of their existence. Each of the modern composers is ready to swear that the Great Musicians were not crazy.

Excited about? Yes of course. Meal, impoverish, suffering from alcoholism, are concerned, nervous, suffering from depression and grief. But these features are not at all the definition of madness. In fact, from time to time they can characterize each of us.

Of all the great composers today, only Schumani would be hospitalized because of its bipolar disorder. In addition to him, none of the musical geniuses would receive a positive diagnosis of any psychological disorder.

The diagnosis of psychology, in general, the thing is very interesting. We are all a little crazy. A good (or bad) psychologist can make a diagnosis of a disorder to any person. In fact, we know very little about how our own consciousness works. Once the great English poet-romantic KSITs was diagnosed with "mental disorder based on poetry." I would like to think that since that time we have reached new heights in psychology, but in fact a little changed.

What is creativity?

During the creative process of the musician, he absolutely does not care about his psychological state. However, it is necessary for him to think about his own health, as creativity immediately becomes absolutely necessary. In this case, it is important to note that all composers have reached their heights not because, and despite the fact that they were restless, nervous and unbalanced.

Creativity and creative power are a sign of mental stability, and not disorder. Creativity saves people from routine, depression, fears and hopelessness. The opportunity to speak out, pour bustling emotions to music, this is what the composer saves from madness.

Biographical example

Constructive, saving energy of creativity can be demonstrated by the example of the great composer of Johann Sebastian Bach. The author of the greatest musical works was orphaned at the age of 10, lost several brothers and sisters, faced with constant physical and moral violence at school, spent several years next to his relative who hate him. As a teenager, he walked hundreds of kilometers on foot to get to the best musical school. He had 20 children, 11 of which died at an early age. His beloved wife died suddenly when the composer was in a short departure. Having experienced so much grief, anyone would have come crazy, but the Bach remained an absolutely rational, mentally balanced person until the end of his days. And all because his emotions, all their tears and sorry he expressed in music.

He never stopped working for a day. Without music, it would probably be crazy. He was not needed by the encading conclusions of modern studies proving that creativity had a positive effect on both social and emotional and intellectual development. He did not need to read about the fact that creative people have great potential. He just knew it ... I knew and did not stop working on a moment.

Creativity in the modern world

Today we regularly try to find the solution of our problems, justify them with anything, if only we would allow to continue to keep our calm and measured lifestyle. Creativity does not tolerate the dimension, it does not recognize the framework and stereotypes. Creativity lives and creates life. Composers, artists, sculptors and writers do not need to look for oblivion in serials, social networks and expensive resorts. The whole universe lives in their inner world.

There is one secret that the wide public does not know or prefers ignore: no need to become a composer or an artist to be a creative person. One of the saddest myths of modernity is the myth that only a small part of people has creativity. As Picasso said: all the children are the greatest painters, the biggest problem of our society is that we interfere with them to remain artists.

Genius, young genius, very young geniuses ... What names do you come to mind? Probably something: yes Vinci, Robertino Loretti ... and Mozart., of course! Where without Mozart?

Little wizard mozzart

Mozart is perhaps one of the most famous young geniuses. After all, in his childhood, all of Europe admired them, he was called a little wizard and invited to speak to the most famous and famous people of the time.

Intelligence - with this, of course, do not argue, but the genius is only 10% of success, and the remaining 90% is work and upbringing. So let's try to see together, as they brought up Mozart and, perhaps, we will find something for the upbringing of our children.

Wolfgang was born in a poor family in the middle of the 18th century. His father was a court organist and a cappermaster in Salzburg. He was a knowledgeable musician and an excellent violinist and organist. Mozzart's mother was a woman beautiful, cheerful and good-natured, and Pope sometimes was strict and adamant - a completely ordinary family, right?

As far as Mother loved to indulge and cherish their children, so the father was strict and demanding. From an early age, he took part in the upbringing of children (ah, how this sometimes lacks modern dads), teaching them to order and commitment. He himself laid the children to sleep and sang lullaby.

According to the testimony of contemporaries, by three years Wolfgang little differed from the rest of the children: he was a lively and fun boy, he often asked if him would like him. The only thing that his musicality was expressed then: he loved all his games to accompany the songs and music.

Meeting with "serious" music

Mozart meeting with the "adult, serious" music began when his five-year-old sister began to learn to play on Clavesis. In the first lesson, Wolfgang was also present, and the lesson made a huge impression on him. After that, the boy was "not to tear off" from the tool. Father tried to show him a little minuet - and the boy immediately repeated him. Then he began to engage with him. What can I say? Carefully treat your babies - especially if something is very interested! What if it wakes up a little genius?

Mozart's father did not want to acquaint Wolfgang too early with the rules of writing music, but it did not prevent the baby to write his first concert at 4 years. Father found him for the boiled tank paper, all the sheets were in the blots and notes, and the boy claimed that he writes a concert for Clavsity and had already finished the first part. When the elder Mozart sorted out in notes and blots, he was amazed: in front of him was a completely correctly written concert, although not fulfilled on difficulty. Output? Do not laugh at the flocks of our babies, even if it is really not famous "sunflowers", but unseeing handicrafts. Otherwise, we risk forever to repeal the interest of the child to draw, writing music, writing poems, etc. etc.

Wolfgang studied very successfully: whatever he was doing, he indulged by the whole soul. He really liked mathematics. True, solving mathematical tasks, the baby could write not only on paper, but also on the walls, benches, on the floor. When the child sat down for the piano, no one dares not to come to him with a joke, but even just speak! At such moments, Wolfgang's face became such a serious and concentrated that many, looking at this prematurely developed talent, feared for his durability.

Early Glory and Baby Pranks

In six years, the journey of Mozarts in Europe began. They moved from the city to the city, conquering different cities and people. The glory of unusual children (Wolfgang and his gifted sister Nannerl) flew to them. They were taken by high-ranking faces and royal people. Unfortunately, very few information remained about whether such an early glory hit the baby's head and did not begin with his "star disease".

Most likely, no, because Wolfgang did not agree to play people who do not understand music. If I managed to persuade him, he played empty, minor things. (Please note: no imposition of the father's will! Leopold gave Wolfgangu the full right to choose where, when and what to play). And at the court in Vienna, he remained faithful to himself: did not agree to play anything serious, until they called the Wagezale, one of the best musicians and composers of that time. And it should be noted another important point: Mozart's genius and his sister's talent brought their parents to considerable funds and fame, but parents remembered that children are, above all, children who should have childhood and, of course, children's Fun and pranks. The famous and serious musician Wolfgang often interrupted his classes to play with a cat or hardened on the rooms on top of his father's cane.

What conclusions from the story about the childhood of Mozart? Be careful to your children, respect their interests, be sure to create all the possibilities for the development of hidden talents. And do not forget that childhood in a child is only once in his life, do not hurry to make your baby adults. And even if you do not grow a little genius or big talent, let you be just a happy child!

The presence of musical memory, musical hearing, possession of a rhythm, emotional susceptibility to music is called musical abilities. Almost all people in one degree or another have all these gifts from nature and if desired, they can develop them. Outstanding musical abilities are much less common.

This "set" of the mental properties of an artistic personality can be attributed to the phenomenon of exclusive music: absolute hearing, phenomenal musical memory, an outstanding ability to learn, creative giftedness.

Higher manifestations of musicality

Russian musician K.K. Sarajeva since childhood discovered a unique musical rumor. For Sarajev, all living beings and inadverted items sounded in certain musical colors. For example, one of the artists acquaintances Konstantinovich, was for him: Re-Diez Major, besides, having an orange shade.

Sarajev argued that in Oktawa, it clearly distinguishes 112 dishes and 112 bemoles of each tone. Among all musical instruments, K. Sarajev allocated bells. The brilliant musician created a sound catalog of sound spectra of the bells of Moscow bells and more than 100 interesting compositions of the game on bells.

F. Sheet, S.V. Rakhmaninov, D. Enescu and other ingenious musicians have a phenomenal memory: they could, looking into the tight text, to remember the musical work with fantastic speed and accuracy.

F. Sheet played from Sheet, as M.I recalled. Glinka, several numbers from his handwritten score of the opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila", while retaining all the notes - to the surprise of students (Handwriting Glinka was very indispensable). Help F. List is an extraordinary musical intuition.

Once, at the request of M. Ravel, in front of the picky music publisher D. Eneski brilliantly played by heart a new violin sonata of Ravel. He first saw her for the first time in half an hour before execution.

I.S. Bach, V. Mozart remembered the most complex orchestral works, having heard them just once. World-famous performers were possessed by the Rare Music Memory: I. Gofman, S. Fainberg. L. Oborin, S. Richter, D. Oistrah, which helped them have a huge concert repertoire.

Satellite of musical gifts - a gift of a virtuoso play on musical instruments. The highest technique of owning the instrument, giving unlimited freedom to the performing movements, for musical genius, first of all, is a means that allows it to be deep and inspired to disclose the content of music.

S. Richter plays "Water game" M. Ravel

An example of unusual musical abilities can also serve as a phenomenon of improvisation on specified topics when the musician creates a musical work, without prior preparation, in the process of its execution.

Children - musicians

A distinctive feature of unusual musical abilities is their early manifestation. Gifted children are distinguished by durable and rapid memorization of music, a tendency to musical writing.

Children who have musical talent are already purely intonated by two years, and by 4-5 years they will be learned freely read notes from the sheet and reproduce the tight text expressively and meaningfully. Wunderkinds are inexplicable while science miracle. It happens that artistry and technical perfection, the maturity of the execution of small musicians is better than adult games.

V. Mozart began to play on the key and a violin from the 4th years, composed music. Since 6 years old, he gave concerts in Europe, which performed her and other people's works, read from a sheet with an extraordinary ease, improvised on the given themes. F. Sheet from early childhood surprised students with a virtuoso game on the piano.

Now all over the world there is a flourishing of children's creativity and shorterkinds today quite a few.

A 11-year-old girl - a vocalist from Moscow V. Oganesyan sings complex opera arias, from the age of 4, performs on stage a young Russian pianist V. Kutuzov, a violinist from Berlin A. Kamara began playing the violin from 2 years.

Uzbekistan's young conductor Edward Yudenich went to the scene in 6 years to lead the symphony orchestra. He began classifying the violin on a three-year-old, then mastered the piano. Having phenomenal musical memory, the boy knows the scores of all the works to be conducted. Seven years old, he conducted an orchestra who performed the orchestral poem of the prelude sheet.

Any science about a person somehow faces the eternal discussion - which is more important in the development of the personality: natural qualities or upbringing? Supporters of both opinions tend to reduce this dispute to unambiguous answers, but fortunately, recent studies have shown that the situation is a little different. It turns out that we are fully able to influence the one who we will. T & P translated an excerpt from the new book of the famous business coach of Miles Dauni "Genius in each of us" about the history of these points of view, the secrets of the genius of Mozart and how the human genes react to its external environment.

Francis Galton (1822-1911) - English researcher, geographer, anthropologist and psychologist, founder of differential psychology and psychometrics, statistics.

Disputes about the priority of one over the other, the relationships and mutual influences of nature and the upbringing on each other began in the middle of the XIX century from Francis Galton. In a simplified form of nature - these are all congenital quality of personality, its genetic heritage, and education is external elements, social and cultural, affecting what the person becomes: how do parents treat him, which and how to teach him at school and university, What he faces in life and how to make up his relationship with others.

The radicals standing on the side of nature and enthusiastic biopsychology claim, for example, that all the features of human behavior, right up to the smallest character traits, there is nothing other than the result of evolution. Nothing strange at this point of view is not, especially if you consider that one of her first and most Yarry chambers, Francis Galton, was a cousin Charles Darwin. On the other side of the barricades there are behaviorists who are convinced that all the actions of a person are determined primarily by its existence in a social environment. One of the most striking and well-known supporters of this idea is an English teacher and philosopher John Locke (1632-1704). Studying personality from her birth, he came to the conclusion that the child's consciousness in the mother's womb is Tabula Rasa, that is, a clean sheet, something virgin and untouched, with time fill in experience. This thought is exactly the opposite of the idea that some knowledge is laid in us from birth - with the nature itself.

Biheviorist method of whip and gingerbread and the desire to please the authorities still remain the main driving forces of management

The idea of \u200b\u200bthe priority of nature dominated the society until the middle of the XX century. To understand why it is enough to imagine the cultural and social atmosphere of that era. The idea that a person himself can influence the one who will become in the future was too revolutionary to be taken with ease. People had to know their place in society, otherwise the workers would refuse to work in the fields and at the factories, the soldiers - to die on the battlefield, servants - respect the rich and power of the property. Even in the second half of the century, the behavior method of the whip and gingerbread and the desire to please the authorities remained - and still remain - the main driving forces of management. Few people seriously take care of creating internal motivation and providing them with growth opportunities.

Rule of ten years

A real breakthrough that has occasionally outlined a deadlock occurred with the advent of the Swedish psychologist Anderson Ericsson and his colleagues entitled as "the role of conscious practices in achieving outstanding results." The study was based on the experience gained by scientists in the work on the project of American University Carnegie - Melon dedicated to the study of memory features. With the help of William Chaise and a certain anonymous ordinary student, Ericsson conducted an experiment on the considerable development of memorial skills. The results have shown that with the correct choice of techniques and sufficient intensity of occupations, the activity is capable of remembering and reproducing up to 80 numbers. Biological characteristics were not associated with this ability. This discovery has become for Ericsson to the beginning of a long - length of 30 years - paths to promote the concept of talent and the conviction of numerous doubters.

Those who previously thought were gifted, turned out to be workers, the main advantage of which was ability to persevere and practically engage

Later - in 1991, already at the University of Florida - he spent, perhaps, the most famous study. The experimental group consisted of students of the violin branch of the Berlin Music Academy. Together with the two colleagues, Ericsson tried to determine which factors become the causes of the highest achievements in art. That was the experiment. Students were divided into three groups in accordance with their qualifications. The first group included the best of the best - violinders who were able to have a unique solo career and worldwide recognition. In the second - students whose abilities allowed them to count on places in the most famous orchestras. Third - potential practice teachers. After a long and meaningful interview, the researchers found what they were looking for: it turned out that the most extraordinary talents for their 20th anniversary had over ten years of gaming practice - on average about 10 thousand hours of exercises and rehearsals. All without exception. The second group could boast 8 thousand hours, the third is only 4 thousand (again on average). Those who previously considered gifted were the hardships, the main advantage of which was the ability to be stubbornly and practically engage in.

Such studies were subsequently undertaken more than once: the experimental groups were compiled from representatives of various spheres of human activity. But the results were unchanged. Thanks to the work of Eriksson, the use of psychologists reliably entered the rule of ten years, or a rule of 10 thousand hours. As British athlette Mohammed Famers said in his interview with BBC, who won two gold medals at the 2012 Olympic Games in London (including 10,000 meters), "The Secret of Success is in stubborn labor and purposefulness."

Musical genius

As an example of the personality of the genius and gifted (that is, such that demonstrates his talent from the earliest childhood, becoming more and more virtuoso without any special training) love to bring Mozart. He did not get up because of the piano, when he was three years old, wrote his first work for five years and went on a tour in Europe, when he was six.

But see how much interesting you can find out by looking at his biography a little more closely. Take for the beginning of his older sister Maria Anna, who was superbly played by Clavesis thanks to the permanent classes with his father. That is, Mozart from the earliest childhood heard music and saw people, constantly practicing for a musical instrument. It is not surprising that one day he began to repeat the sister. The father of Wolfgang Amadeja, Leopold, was a prominent musician, composer and a teacher, and the teacher is very progressive: his methods greatly resemble the JUZUKU method (so it seems not only to me, but also to everyone who is interested in education issues). He took up the musical education of his son at the same moment as he saw his interest, and dedicated to him most of his life - with a stunning result. Nothing amazing, however, there is no result: with such a hoping, Mozart, nothing else remained, except to become a genius. And one more thing: some critics argue that the early works of Mozart are not so good compared with more mature, which he began to write from 17 years, a little more than ten years after the debut.

Ping-pong champion

Matthew LED in his best-selling "Jump" tells a similar story. He became the best in Britain to the Ping Pong Pong in 1995, when he was 24. This story is notable for at least two moments: thousands of hours of training and great luck. Matthew says that when he was eight years old (the family lived then in Reading), the parents bought a table for ping pong and put it in the garage. They themselves never played this game, so there is no talk about any family tradition. They just had a very large garage - compared to neighbors, at least. The first partner Matthew was his elder brother Andrew. They were so fascinated by the game that they did not leave the table with a clock, testing each other, training their skills and inventing new techniques. All these factors, coming down at one time in one place, and gave Matthew the opportunity to train.

"Even without giving yourself a report, we spent thousands and thousands of infinitely happy hours at the table," he writes. Good luck came in the form of a teacher of the local school of Mr. Charters, who was responsible for extracurricular work and, among other things, is incredible, but the fact is for table tennis. And he was one of the best, if not the best, English coach and in this capacity, headed by local ping-pong club, where and called the Sid brothers - to play and train after school, on holidays and weekends. The guys were lucky to be born on Earth rich in talents, so they had a training session not only with local champions, but also with the champions of the country and even the world. Andrew managed to win three national junior titles. Matthew fate prepared something special. It happened that it was at the very time the legendary Chen Xinhua - perhaps the best player in the history of ping-pong - married a woman from Yorkshire and moved to these edges. He has already finished his career, but seeing Matthew, agreed to train him. After this meeting, the young man remained the number one in England for many years, three times became the champion of the Commonwealth and twice - the Olympic champion. According to his own recognition, he was just on the other street, nothing would have happened. We, however, are interested in not so much luck as long as long years of persistent workouts - as the main component of the future success.

Gene and medium

However, you probably have already guessed that in the confrontation of nature and upbringing is not so simple. The first cloud, eclipsed by the rising sun supporters of upbringing, were doubtful in justice the rules of ten years. It turned out that someone is enough 4 thousand hours, and someone lacked 22 thousand. Such examples were gained more and more, and in the end, the exception began to refute the rule. It turned out that if you take two people, one of which has clear abilities to a particular activity, and the other - no, and teach them along the same program, the first will progress much faster than the second. So it's not just in practice.

Further everything is confused even more - up to the point that, at first glance, some theses even contradict each other. Stephen Holm - Swedish athlete, a jumper height - spent many years to the grueling workouts, wanting to bring his technique to perfection. Despite the largest sports for the selected sport, Stephen is a vivid example of the rules of ten years: in 2004, he became the gold medalist of the Olympic Games. So, it is upbringing that is the key to success? So, not so. What, let's say, explain the phenomenon of Donald Thomas, the player of the Basketball team of the University of Lindenwood, who, having no apparent equipment, nor a significant preparation, easily overcame the bar in 2 meters 21 centimeter, and completely unexpected for himself? In the same year, he was invited to the Bahamas team, and in 2007 at the World Championships, he was ahead of Stefan Holma in the battle for first place. The secret of the success of Donald was in the anomalous length of Achillov tendons, so that he jumped as if on the springs: Bundles themselves pushed the body up. His story is an obvious argument in favor of the superiority of nature. Both athlete were the brightest figures of their time reached the top of the sports Olympus. But they traveled there to different paths.

Reading this, you must have, you think that these two fates are a visual example of an old as the world of confrontation "Nature or upbringing", even in some sense its climax. But everything is not quite so. The Union "Or" means that we must choose something one, leave both options we have no right. Those who believe in nature, consider the genes of a kind of project, according to which the personality is built. Supporters of education, on the contrary, deny the existence of any genetic predisposition. But for some reason neither, no other take into account the fact that the genes themselves know how to react to the environment.

This is what they write in one of the articles of the project Enabling Genius Lino Paso Pampilon and Tamara Krury Millyan:

After the end of the man's gene project in 2003, scientists realized that a person has about 20,500 genes (about as much as the mouse) and that genome is only a small component of an evolving personality. A much more important role is played by secondary, epigenetic factors. Epigenetics are associated with chemical changes directly affecting the DNA sequence. In essence, it determines how genes react to a specific environment. Researchers often compare genetics with a piano keyboard: a melody that opens as a result, depends on which keys and how exactly we click. Someone will hear the concert of Mozart, someone - non-stroke gamma who has recently started to learn to play a neighbor.

Flow

I can not finish this chapter without telling you another aspect of the highest achievements, which is currently being investigated extremely active, - the so-called stream. The stream is a special state of the psyche, which is different from the fixed genetic installation by the fact that it can be turned on and off. Many years ago, my wife Joe as a birthday gift paid me a glider management courses. With aircraft, I was a little familiar, because in my childhood I often flew with my father: he was a licensed pilot and consisted of a small amateur club located on the backyards of Dublin airport. For the first time, he rose into the sky at 20 with a little: during the Second World War, he had the piloting "Spitfayra" and "Harricseins" - the machines are legendary and in all respects unusual.

Once he was shot down in heaven over Normandy, and he escaped only a miracle, choosing from the burning aircraft literally at the last moment. The sky was in his blood, and every flight he perceived as an event special and extremely important. I think it was inherited, so a gift from Joe called a whole storm of emotions in me. Flights on glider are very different from flights on airplanes - at least because in case of an error, the pilot has no engine, with which this error could be corrected. Slightly weaken attention - and here the device has already deviated from the desired course and rapidly loses the height. Abspect the stronger - and without a parachute can no longer do. The instructor taught me on the go - right during training flights, opening my mouth only when it really needed, because thanks to the father of the piloting experience I already had. Nevertheless, every time, I hear the voice of the instructor, I was distracted. And now one day - we just worked out a reversal and approach to landing - he suddenly understood it and threw the phrase in the middle: "Yes, *** [damn], just fly!" And I flew. He freed me. Completely gave me control. I was as concentrated as much as possible and at the same time relaxed, became one of the whole with my glider. And entering the turn, practically did not lose heights. This is the state of the stream. The moment when the genius reaches his peak.

The term "stream" was first proposed by the American scientist Mihai Chixentmichei in the book "Stream: Psychology of Optimal Experience", published in 1990, when he headed the Department of Psychology of the University of Chicago. This is how it describes the flow: "Being fully involved in the work for her for her. The ego disappears. Time flies. Each action, movement, thought follows from the previous one, as if playing jazz. All your creature is involved, and you apply your skills at the limit. " It is the use of all his skills at the limit and makes the state of flow so important in achieving the highest results. "

We are able to influence the one we will. Every moment of our life, every act to one degree or another is controlled by consciousness - and the flow here is nothing to do with it, because everyone can enable this mode. In the "genius equation" at least three variables: our genetic heritage surrounding us the environment and the state of the psyche. Two of them we can completely define themselves, so that the excuse like "I am which I am" is nothing more than vulgar sophism.

Freddie Mercury

I am absolutely cold and even indifferent. But in this case, I ask myself where he is - this stormy source of creative energy? I do not understand.
