Russian civilization


Varlamov Alexander Egorovich - Varlamov, Alexander Egorovich - the famous Russian composer-amateur.

He also else loved music and singing, especially church, and early began to play a violin for hearing (Russian songs).

For the ten years, Varlamov entered the singers in the court singer chapel.

In 1819, Varlamov was appointed regent of the Court Russian Church in the Hague, where the sister of Emperor Alexander I lived, Anna Pavlovna, who was in marriage with the Kronprint Netherlands.

Above the theory of the musical composition of Varlamov, apparently, did not work at all and remained with those scarce knowledge that could be made from Capella, in those days at all that did not take care of the general development of their pets.

In The Hague and Brussels then there was a wonderful French opera, with the artists of which Varlamov brought acquaintance.

Perhaps hence he made his acquaintance with the art of singing, who gave him the opportunity to become later a good teacher of vocal art.

Listening to the "Sevilian Villanika" Rossini, Varlamov came to a special delight of skillful use in the final of 2 acts of the Russian song "What a garden was to be slaughtered", which is the Italian maestro, according to Varlamov, "well, masterfully breathed to Polish."

Having a lot of dating, especially among musicians and music lovers, Varlamov, probably then compiled a habit of a random and scattered life, which prevented him later to work out how his composer's talent follows.

In 1823, Varlamov returned to Russia.

According to one source, he lived this time in St. Petersburg, according to others, less reliable, in Moscow.

At the end of 1828 or early 1829, Varlamov began to bother about secondary admission to a singing chapel, and two Cheruvim songs were raised to the emperor - the first ideas known to us.

On January 24, 1829, he was defined in a chapel in the number of "big singers", and he was entrusted to teach young singers and learn solo parties with them.

In December 1831, he was dismissed from service in Chapel, in 1832 he took the place of assistant to the chapel of the imperial Moscow theaters, and in 1834 he received the title of composer of music with the same theaters.

By the beginning of 1833, the appearance of nine romances in the press of the collection of nine romances (including one duet and one trio) accompanied by a piano dedicated to the Verstoressky: "Music Album for 1833". By the way, in this collection, the famous romance is printed in this collection, Mother's name, who glorified the name of Varlamov and who became famous and in the West, as a "Russian national song", as well as another popular romance "that dug out, the dress is clear."

In them, as in other rooms of the collection, quite definitely have already affected the advantages and disadvantages of the composer talent of Varlamov: the sincerity of mood, heat and incessia, obvious melodic talent, the desire for the characteristic, expressed in quite a variety of accompanying accompaniers with the audio attempts Painting, National Russian flavor, more lively and bright than the contemporaries and predecessors of Varlamov, and, at the same time, slopeful and low-profile composer equipment, lack of finishing and style decorated, form elementality. To properly assess the historical significance of the first romances of Varlamov, it should be remembered that at that time we had only romances of the Titov brothers, Alyabyev, Versta, and only the first romances of M.I. Glinka. The first romances of Varlamov occupied therefore in the then our vocal literature a prominent place and immediately became popular with all lovers of music and fans of nationality in its more affordable form. Varlamov retained the location of the public and in the future composer's activities that did not represent any noticeable development, but remained approximately on the same, once achieved, low-level technology and creativity.

The merit of Varlamov consisted in popularizing the national genre and in the preparation of the public to perceive in the future more serious works of our national artistic music.

Next to his service was engaged in both the teaching of music, mainly singing, often in aristocratic houses. His lessons and essays were paid well, but, with the scattered way of life of the composer (a very favorite card game, behind which he sat down whole nights), he often had to need money.

Usually in such cases, he was taken to compose (always on the piano, on which he played mediocre, especially poorly reading from the sheet) and immediately sent a hardly finished manuscript to the publisher to turn it into a ring coin.

With this attitude to the case, he could not rise above the level of the gift dilettant.

In 1845, Varlamov again moved to St. Petersburg, where he had to live solely with his composer giving, singing lessons and annual concerts.

Under the influence of an improper lifestyle, sleepless nights behind cards, different grief and deprivation, health staggered, and on October 15, 1848, he died suddenly at the card evening of his acquaintances.

Varlamov left more than 200 romances (including 42 folk Russian songs arranged by him for one vote with piano, 4 of them are 4 small, a small number of essays for 3 votes, three church works for choir (Cheruvim) and three piano plays (march and two Waltz).

The most famous of these works: the romances "Red Sarafan", "Sanding Horse" (both served as themes for the violin fantasy of the veavovetsky "Souvenir de Moscou"), "Travishka", "Solovushko", "What Missed", "Angel", "Song Of Ophelia "," I feel sorry "," no, doctor, no, "Duets" Swimmers "," You don't sing ", etc. Many of them and now (especially in the province) willingly sink in the amateur mugs, but the music of the romance "It did not beat the drum in front of a vague regiment", attached to another text ("You are the victim of fear of fateful"), I even received all-Russian distribution.

Varlamov also owns the first Russian "School of singing" (Moscow, 1840), the first part of which (theoretical) is a remake of the Paris School Andrade, the two remaining (practical) are independent and contain valuable instructions for vocal art, which have not lost their importance and Now.

The son of Varlamov, George, was born in 1825, he spoke in concerts as a singer and wrote a number of romances in the style of his father. About his son, Konstantine, see the daughter of Varlamov, Elena, also performed the singer and composed (romances).

The future composer took place from Voloshi, that is, Moldavian nobles. He was born in Moscow 15 (27) on November 1801 in a poor family of a modest, titular adviser to Egor Ivanovich Varlamov.

Another child Sasha was passionately loved music and singing, especially church, and early began to play a violin for hearing (Russian songs).

In the ten-year-old, the boy was determined by the Father on the Council of Friends, who had evaluated early by his musical gifts, to the St. Petersburg court chapel under the leadership of the famous Bortyansky. At first, Varlamov was preparing for a singer's career, but due to the weakening of the voice abandoned this thought.

In the chapel chapel of Varlamov, he studied music, was singing the choir, and later - the author of a number of spiritual compositions.

Over the years of study, it discovered uncommon pedagogical abilities along with vocal talent (primarily as a choiraster).

Listening to the "Sevilian Merchant" Rossini, Varlamov came to a special delight of skillful use in the final of 2 Act of the Russian song "For what was the garden of the tassel", which the Italian Maestro, according to Varlamov, "Well, masterfully breathed to Polish." Perhaps hence he made his knowledge of vocal art, who gave him the opportunity to become a good teacher of singing.

The beginning of the composer's activities of V. refers by the end of the 30s. The first nine Romances V. were printed in Moscow in 1839 at the Music Publisher of GSERE.

V. announced himself as a teacher, in his "complete school of singing", in three parts published in a gugener in Moscow in 1840. This school is the first and for its time a wonderful vocal management.

Now this edition of the gugener is a bibliographic rarity.

Of the three parts, the first, theoretical part representing the processing of "Nouvelle Methode de Chant et de vocalization" of the Paris Professor Andrade is becoming weaker.

But on the second, practical, made completely independently, replete with many precious comments that have not lost their importance and currently and are overwhelming in the author of a large connoisseur of human voice.

The third part encompass ten exercises for the voice, with the accompaniment of piano, and two Russian songs: "Ah, not alone in the field of the Road" and "Do not wake me with the MOLOD", shifted into three voices.

Varlamov Aleksandr Egorovich (1801-1848) is a very talented author of numerous Russian romances and songs, of which many have gained extreme popularity due to sincerity, melodiousness, accessibility and often Russian folk sewing. B. Born in 1801, died in 1851 brought up in the court singing chapel, under the leadership of the famous Bortenyansky. Preparing first to the career of the singer, but due to the weakening of the voice, he had to abandon this thought. Having received the place of the Psaller in the Netherlands, he stayed for some time abroad, where he kept learning musical art. Returning to Russia, he from 1832 he was a dropmeister at Moscow theaters, and since 1835 settled in St. Petersburg and taught singing in various educational institutions. The beginning of the composer's activities of V. refers by the end of the 30s. The first nine Romances V. were printed in Moscow in 1839 at the Music Publisher of GSERE. Of these, they received particular popularity: "Don't be seed to me, Mother, Red Sarafan" and "What a clear dawn is clear." This series of romances includes: "Understand me", "the shelves are native", "do not make sure", "oh hurts", "Young youth", "Ah you are youth." Many romances were written in V. in the fortieth year; They are printed from different publishers of St. Petersburg and Moscow. The very famous "song of Ophelia", Petaya V. V. Samoilova in the tragedy "Hamlet", was published in 1842 at a gossover in Moscow; "Spanish Serenade" - In 1845, Bernarda, "Find me" - in the same year, Miller, "Magician" (1844, the publication of the store "Music Echo"), "Belieta Sail Lonely" - in 1848 GSEER, etc. Later, all romances, score 223, published Stellovsky in St. Petersburg. in 12 notebooks. B. tried his strength and in the field of spiritual music. It belongs to Heruvim to eight and four voices (GSERE edition, 1844). But the author soon realized that the majestic, which requires a strict excerpt of the church style does not suit the nature of his talent and to his musical technology, not particularly developed; He again switched to their favorite forms of the song and romance. V. announced himself as a teacher, in his "full school of singing", in three parts published in a gugener in Moscow in 1840. This school is the first and for its time a wonderful vocal management. Now this edition of the gugener is a bibliographic rarity. Of the three parts, the first, theoretical part representing the processing of "Nouvelle Methode de Chant et de vocalization" of the Paris Professor Andrade is becoming weaker. But on the second, practical, made completely independently, replete with many precious comments that have not lost their importance and currently and are overwhelming in the author of a large connoisseur of human voice. The third part encompass ten exercises for voice, with the accompaniment of piano, and two Russian songs: "Oh, not one thing in the field of a road" and "Do not wake me with the MOLOD", overlapping for three voices. No composer could have sustained so many editions as V. in 1886 began to go out in Moscow, at Gutheil, a new Common Collection of Works V., published by his heirs.
