Aram Khachaturian was born on June 6 in Kodzhori - the suburbs of Tiflis now Tbilisi in the Armenian family of a bindter. It was enough to walk along the streets and lanes lying away from the center to plunge into the musical atmosphere created by a wide variety of sources ... ”It is also important that in Tbilisi then there was a branch of the Russian Musical Society, as well as a music school and Italian opera theater.

Finally, talented musicians lived here, playing a prominent role in the formation of Georgian and Armenian composer schools.

All this formed the basis of the early musical impressions of Aram Khachaturian. A peculiar multinational intonation “alloy” firmly entered his auditory experience. It was this “alloy” years later that served as the key to the fact that Khachaturian’s music was never limited to the framework of nationality and always appealed to the widest audience. It should be especially noted that Khachaturian himself has always been alien to any manifestation of national limitation.

With deep respect and living interest, he treated the music of different nations. Internationalism is one of the characteristic features, the features of the worldview and the work of Khachaturian. Despite the early manifested musical abilities, Aram Khachaturian first got acquainted with a musical diploma only at the age of 19, when, in the year, having arrived in Moscow, he entered the Gnesins music college in the cell of the cello.

The first published work of Khachaturian - the “dance” for violin and piano - already carries some characteristic features of the composer’s style: improvisation, a variety of variation techniques, as well as imitating the dark effects of widespread in oriental instrumental music, and especially the famous “Khachaturian seconds”, rhythmic Austinato.

The composer himself remarks: “These seconds I have from the sounds of folk instruments repeatedly heard in childhood: Sazandar-Tar, Kemanch and Buben. From eastern music, my addiction to organ points is also coming. ” Gradually, Khachaturian passed from small forms to more detailed, from the “processing” of folk-sand and dance material to its “development”. In the year, a suite for piano was born, the first part of which - Tokkata - gained wide fame and entered the repertoire of many pianists.
