MUSIC
Records of works of classical music sorted by composers
Today, world classical music is simply unthinkable without works by Russian composers, although the domestic composer school appeared only in the 19th century. About each of the famous people can be told infinitely. Prokofiev, for example, ingeniously played chess, Borodin was a professor of chemistry, and Rakhmaninov treated so much to her hands that the shoes put on his spouse. Today is the most interesting facts from the life and creativity of Russian composers.
The emperor demonstratively gone from the premiere of Glinka opera
Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka is considered to be the founder of Russian Russian classical music and the first Russian composer-classic who managed to achieve world glory.
Success to the composer brought his opera "Life for the king" ("Ivan Susanin"). In this musical product, the composer managed to organically combine European opera and symphonic practice with Russian choral art. For the first time, the National Hero appeared, which embodied the best features of a national character.
But the premiere of the second opera of the composer is "Ruslan and Lyudmila" - a number of sensitive griefs brought Glinka. The premiere of the opera took place in the Bolshoi Theater in St. Petersburg on the same day as the premiere of the first opera Glinka - December 9. I didn't like the highest society, the public was squeezed, and the emperor Nicholas I was at all, without waiting for the end of the opera, after the fourth act, it was demonstratively left the hall.
However, the contemporaries noted that Opera wrote this glint more than casually. V.P. Enth of 1894 wrote M. Balakirev: " Full autograph score "Ruslana" never existed. Separate rooms were sent to them to theatrical office for correspondence, from there they did not return and disappeared there" And the Opera Plan, if you believe contemporaries, and at all "instilled" Konstantin Bakhturin " a quarter of an hour under drunk hand" Nevertheless, the opera in the first season passed 32 times in St. Petersburg and as much in Paris, whereas, according to the testimony of Ferenz Leaf, the "Wilhelm Tool" Opera Joakino Rossini in his first Paris season was given only 16 times.
It is known that Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka was weak health. This, however, did not interfere with him to travel, besides, the composer knew geography perfectly. He freely owned six foreign languages, among which was the Persian.
Prokofiev came up with a special kind of chess
Sergey Sergeevich Prokofiev is a conductor, a pianist and one of the largest Russian composers of the twentieth century. He is considered to be Russian music welcome: he composed from 5 years old, in 9 he wrote two operas, and at the age of 13 he became a student at the St. Petersburg Conservatory.
Leaving their homeland in 1918, in 1936 he returned to the USSR. But already in 1948, the Polyburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) issued a resolution accusing Prokofiev and other musicians in the "formalism", and their music was declared "harmful." The first spouse of the composer, Spaniard by origin, was exiled to the camp where he spent three years. After that, the composer lived almost idle at the cottage. There, he created such bright works like Ballets "Cinderella", "Romeo and Juliet", the Opera "Tale of the Real Man" and "War and Peace", wrote piano concerts and music for the films "Ivan Grozny" and "Alexander Nevsky".
The passion of Prokofiev was chess. He not only loved to play in them, but he enriched this game with his own ideas, offering the so-called "ninter" chess - a board with a field 24x24, on which the nine sets of figures play right away. It is known that once Prokofiev played a chess game with the ex-world champion in Chess E.Laster and was able to reduce her to a draw.
Sergey Prokofiev died in one day with Stalin. Relatives were very problematic to organize a funeral, since all Moscow was blocked by police posts.
Scriabin - Creator of Lights
Alexander Nikolaevich Scriabin showed musical abilities since childhood. After the end of the Cadet Corps, he entered the Moscow Conservatory, after the end of which was completely given to music. Its deeply poetic and original creativity was innovative even against the background of new trends in music related to changes in political system and public life at the beginning of the 20th century.
Alexander Nikolaevich Scriabin.
So, in the score written by him the symphonic poem "Prometheus", Scriabin turned on the party for light. But the premiere was due to technical problems without light effects.
Cambridge honored the Tchaikovsky title of Doctor of Music without a security defense
Petr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is one of the brightest figures of world classical music and a composer who managed to raise Russian musical art to unprecedented heights.
Many considered him Western, but he managed to be surprisingly to join the heritage of Shumanan, Beethoven and Mozart with Russian traditions. Tchaikovsky worked almost in all musical genres. He wrote 10 operas, 7 symphony, 3 ballet, 4 suite and 104 romance.
Natives referred to him a military officer career and were categorically against admission to the conservatory. It is known that his native uncle of the future of the great composer with bitterness stated: " Petya, what a shame! Protected jurisprudence!»
The University of Cambridge without protection of the thesis, in absentia, who honored Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's title of Doctor of Music, and the Academy of Fine Arts Paris chose him with his correspondent member.
Roman Korsakov died due to his opera
Nikolai Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov - Famous Conductor, Music Critic, Great Russian Composer and Public Worker. The son of the serf and landowner, he received a good education, drove a lot, and returned to his homeland managed absolutely everywhere: he was an inspector of the overseas of the maritime department, he taught in the St. Petersburg Conservatory, who was a professor who was conducted by symphonic and opera performances, helped the management of court chapel.
One of his favorite those in the work was fabulous works. Operas "Tale of the Tsar Saltan", "Kashing the Immortal", "Tale of the Invisible Grada Cite and the Virgo Fevronia", "Golden Cockerel" fought behind him a nickname storyteller.
The Opera "Golden Cockerel" Roman-Korsakov was written in 1908 through the Tappy of Pushkin. The censorship of progress in this product is a stingy satir on autocrat, and the opera was banned. This was the cause of the infarction of the composer. He died from a repeated attack in the manor of Lubelansk on June 21, 1908.
The first stage of the opera took place after the death of the Great Composer - September 24, 1909 at the Opera Theater of Sergey Zimin in Moscow. The premiere was preceded by an announcement in the Russian Vedomosti newspaper: " The last Opera N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov "Golden Cockerel", who is not accepted for performing imperial scenes, will go in the coming season at the Opera Sinet Theater»
Composer Borodin founded Russian Chemical Society
Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin - Russian composer nugget. He had no professional music teachers, and he achieved everything in music, thanks to the independent mastering of the composition of the composition. His first musical work Borodin wrote at 9 years old. Played on the piano, flute and cello.
The most famous musical work of Borodin is the "Prince Igor" opera, created in the story "Words about the regiment of Igor". The idea of \u200b\u200bwriting this opera Borodina told V.Sasov. Behind the work, Borodin took up with great enthusiasm: he studied the musical and historical and historical time and even visited the vicinity of Putivl. Writing the opera stretched for 18 years. In 1887, Borodin died and not graduating from this musical work. It is known that Borodin himself managed to orchestrate part of the prologue, Rechitative, Aria Yaroslavna, Konchak, Prince Vladimir Galitsky, Yaroslavna's crying, folk choir. We completed the work on the records of Borodin Roman Korsakov and Glazunov.
It is worth noting that the music was not the only passion of Borodin. He was very successfully engaged in medicine and chemistry, receiving 1858 degree of doctor of medicine. Borodin led the chemical laboratory, he was an ordinary professor and academician of the Medical and Surgery Academy, an honorary member of the Russian doctors society and one of the founders of Russian chemical society. The composer of Borodin has more than 40 work in chemistry, and its name was called the chemical reaction of silver carboxylic acid salts with halogens, which he explored first in 1861.
Sergey Rakhmaninov's hands rated in a million dollars
Sergey Vasilyevich Rachmaninov - the largest world composer - left Russia in 1917 and donkey in the United States. Almost 10 years after departure from Russia, he did not write music, a lot touring Europe and America, where he was recognized as the largest conductor and the greatest pianist of the era. At the same time, Rachmaninov, throughout his life, remained a man who seemed to solitude, insecure in himself and wounded. All his life he sincerely worried that he left his homeland. During the Great Patriotic War, Sergey Rakhmaninov gave several charitable concerts, and all the fees were listed in the Red Army Foundation.
Rachmaninov had a unique feature - the largest key coverage of all known pianists. He covered 12 white keys at once, and his left hand took absolutely free chord "to Mi-Barol Salt to Salt". At the same time, he, unlike many concert pianists, was an amazing beauty of his hand without a swollen veins and without knots on the fingers.

Appearing in the era of the classic heyday of the French, German and Italian opera, the Russian opera in the 19th century not only caught up with classic national opera schools, but also ahead of them. Interestingly, Russian composers traditionally chose for their works plots of a purely nature.
"Life for the king" Glinka
Opera "Life for the king" or "Ivan Susanin" talks about the events of 1612 - the Polish campaign of the gentry to Moscow. The author of Libretto became Baron Egor Rosen, however, in Soviet times on ideological reasons, the editorial office of Libretto was assigned to Sergey Gorodetsky. The premiere of the opera took place in the Bolshoi Theater of St. Petersburg in 1836. For a long time, Susanin's party performed Fyodor Shalyapin. After the revolution "Life for the king" left the Soviet scene.

To write a libretto, the composer used the text of the Pushkin's tragedy of the same name and the materials of the Karamzinskaya "Russian State History". The top of the opera was the time of the reign of Boris Godunov in front of the "troubled time." Mussorgsky finished the first edition of the Opera Boris Godunov in 1869, which was represented by theatrical Committee of the Directorate of Imperial Theaters. However, the reviewers rejected the opera, refusing in the formulation due to the lack of a bright female role. Mussorgsky introduced in the Opera "Polish" Act of the Loveline of Marina Mnishek and Falsitria. They also added a monumental scene of a popular uprising, which made the final pain spectacular. Despite all the adjustments, the opera was rejected again. She managed to put only 2 years later in 1874 on the stage of the Mariinsky Theater.

The opera was written by the composer on the order of the Imperial Theater, and for the first time the Tchaikovsky refused to take the order, arguing his refusal to the absence in the plot of "proper substion." Interestingly, in the story of Pushkin, the main character is the name Hermann (with two "n" at the end), and in the opera, a person named Herman becomes the main acting person, but the intentional copyright. In 1892, the opera was first delivered outside Russia in Prague. Next - the first stage in New York in 1910 and the premiere in London in 1915.
"Prince Igor" Borodina
The basis for the libretto was the monument of the ancient Russian literature "Word about the regiment of Igor". The idea of \u200b\u200bthe plot was prompted by Borodin Criton Vladimir Stasov at one of the music evenings at Shostakovich. Opera was created for 18 years, but never was completed by the composer. After the death of Borodin, the work on the work was completed with glazing and Roman korsakov. It is believed that glazing was able to restore the once he heard the superdust of the opera in the author's execution, however, the glazing himself was refuted. Despite the fact that the glazing and Roman Korsakov did most of the work, they insisted that "Prince Igor" is a completely opera Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin. " The premiere of the opera was held at the Mariinsky Theater of St. Petersburg in 1890, after 9 years she saw a foreign viewer in Prague.
Golden Cockerel Roman Corsakov

"Lady McBet Mtsensky County" Shostakovich
The idea of \u200b\u200bthe opera arose from Alexander Dargomyzhsky in 1863. However, the composer doubted her success and examined the work as creative "intelligence", "fun on the" Don Juan "Pushkin." He wrote music to the Pushkin text of the "Stone Guest", without changing any word in it. However, the problems with the heart did not allow the composer to complete the work. He died, asking for the will of his friends Cui and Rimsky-Korsakov to complete the work. For the first time, the opera was represented by the viewer in 1872 on the stage of the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. The overseas prime minister took place only in 1928 in Salzburg. This opera has become one of the "fundamental stones", without its knowledge it is impossible to understand not only Russian classical music, but also the total culture of our country.

V. F. Odoyevsky, ICRAKTIZED OPERA "New Element in Art, and begins in his history a new period - the period of Russian music."Glinka: "To create beauty, you need to be a clean soul"
The second opera is the epic "Ruslan and Lyudmila" (1842), the work on which was carried out against the background of the death of Pushkin and in the severe life of the composer, by virtue of the deep innovative essence of the work, was ambiguously met by the audience and the authorities and brought M. I. Glinka heavy experiences . After that, he traveled a lot, alternately living in Russia and abroad, not stopping composing. In his heritage there were romances, symphonic and chamber work. In the 1990s, the Patriotic Song of Mikhail Glinka was the official anthem of the Russian Federation.

Glazunov and N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov).

A. Rimsky-Korsakov. The beginning of a professional career caused a storm of criticism and misunderstanding of his individual fundamentally anti-grate and extremely modernist style, the paradox is that the rushing of academic canons, the structure of his compositions remained faithful to the classical principles and subsequently became the restraining force of the modernist community skepticism. From the very beginning, Career Prokofiev performed a lot and toured. In 1918 he went to the international tour, including came to the USSR, finally returned to his homeland in 1936.

The hard spread of this opera, arranged in 1936, and repressions of 1937 laid the beginning of the subsequent permanent inner struggle of Shostakovich for the desire to express their views with their means in the conditions of imposing areas of directions in art. In his life, politics and creativity are very closely intertwined, he was praised by power and she geimy, he held high positions and filmed from them, awarded and was on the verge of arrest himself and his loved ones.
