At the end of the 10th - early X, he headed the musical part of the Leningrad Satire Theater, Magnitogorsk Drama Theater, the Gorky Theater of Miniatures, and paid the main attention to creative work. The best works of M. Blanger were included in the golden fund of Soviet song culture. The whole large and glorious path of our song is inextricably linked with his work - from its origins to the conquest of world recognition and popular love.

Having begun his creative activity in the 10ths as the author of easy dance music, Blanter soon advanced among the leading masters of the Soviet song, whose work determined the ways of its development. Fashion is not powerful over his melodies, although the composer’s songs are strongly connected in a special way over time. Born by one or another, almost a specific circumstance, Blanter's songs begin to live an independent life, turn into a kind of symbol of time.

But at the same time, he did not immediately find his own topic in Soviet song creativity. This, of course, could not satisfy a demanding composer. The search for an independent path began. This brings him the necessary experience, and at the same time teaches to observe life, enriches with vivid impressions. This happens in the composer’s life a meeting with the genre, which becomes the main, determining in his work.

In the future, he successfully addresses the theater. Three operettas were written, of which the best - “on the shores of the Amur” - went around many scenes of the country. Blangter music to this day decorates many repertoire plays of the best playwrights. But still - the song was given to her by the Blangter all the heat of his soul. By the end of the x, Blanger was becoming one of the leading masters of the Soviet song.

His works quickly gain truly popular fame. The melodies of such songs as “Partisan Zheleznyak”, “Song of Shchors”, “Youth”, “On the road-path of the distant”, “The whole country sings with us”, sound everywhere. The first of them was "goodbye, cities and huts." And followed by dozens of others dedicated to the Soviet soldiers-“in the front of the front-line”, “garden gardens”, “by the well”, “I loved the boy”, “under the stars of the Balkan”.

In the same formidable years, two Blanter songs created by him shortly before the war began to be very popular - “my beloved” and especially the truly legendary “Katyusha”. There are some songs with such an unusual and beautiful fate as this. She was sung on the fronts and in the rear, now and then her text was enriched with new verses that the people made up. The fighters of the Italian resistance made her their anthem, the French patriots sang her as a native.

The name of this song was named a weapon that brought panic fear to the Nazis - well -known guards mortars. This song is now in the ranks. New evidence of its attractiveness, its ability to unite people in the name of high ideals recently brought the World Youth and Students Festival in Moscow. They withstand this test with honor. Why did it happen? The answer is simple: everyone who heard them will easily find it.

The power of the composer’s songs in their sincere lyricism and simplicity. In these words, the composer’s ideological program is the task that he sets for himself. And the vast majority of his songs meets this task to the end. Blanger's songs are invariably worried, because they are written not only for everyone, but for everyone. When you listen to them, you are amazed at the imagery of the composer’s language, as if you see what he writes about.

And this feature undoubtedly relates the work of the blatter with the tradition of Russian folk song: it always contains a clear melodic and visual image. It remains as lyrical, as bright and young in spirit, as modern as many years ago. Blanger writes about work and friendship, about love and happiness in his popular songs “Figant Birds fly”, “Under our banners”, “We are coming from factories and arable land”, “Golden wheat”, “There is no better color”, “distant path, orline flight”.

In the year, Blanter creates a "song about Lenin." The composer invariably worries the theme of the world between the peoples. Back in the year, his “song of unity” was awarded the award at the World Youth and Students Festival in Prague. Subsequently, being in different countries, Blanger creates songs about the friendship of people of different nations. So, after visiting Japan, the song “Tokyo -Moscow” arises, from a trip to Czechoslovakia the composer brings the song “Beauty Prague” but, of course, the main thing in his music is connected with his homeland, with what excites his compatriots.

His permanent co-author-M. He writes to the verses of M. Holodny, V. Gusev, V. Lebedev-Kumach, M. Svetlova, K. Simonova, Ya.Smelyakova, A. Surkov, I. Selvinsky, B. The composer himself once noticed: “I am half the success of my songs at the expense of co-authors. It is easier to write music when you have high -quality literary material. ” And this is natural. Matvey Blanter does not close in the framework of only his art.

It can be found at an interesting symphonic concert, he is a thin connoisseur and expert on chess art, a temperamental football fan.

And all this boiling giftedness of a person is reflected in his life -affirming creativity, perhaps the secret, thanks to which the composer was able to step over the framework of the genre he chose: it is no coincidence that the largest masters of the opera scene - Nadezhda Obukhov, Sergey Lemeshev, Mark Rayisen, Elena Santo, Elena Skorov, was so eagerly addressed to his songs. The current pop stars also turn.

In the year, when Matvey Blanter celebrated his flying, he was awarded the highest honorary title in our country - the title of Hero of Socialist Labor. In this award is not only the recognition of the high merits of one of the founders of the Soviet song, but also a reminder that truly valuable, having the right to a long life, only truly civil, substantial art remains.

From M.'s memoirs, I was seven years old. Mom sent me to a neighbor for something, and there I saw an open piano. He pressed the key of an old, broken tool. And died. From that moment I was subdued by music. With tears, he asked his father to pay off this old piano from the neighbor. Mom patronized my enthusiasm for music, invited a teacher for me. When at the beginning of the war of the fourteenth year to Kursk, a music school was evacuated from Riga, I was accepted there at the piano department.

He was successful, but soon understood that the pianist would not work out of me. By that time, I had quite wide ideas about music. In the spring of the year, he came to Moscow to study at the conservatory, but on the advice of friends he chose the school of the Philharmonic Society, the class of the violin of the famous A. But this time I decided that I could not become a violinist.

And then in the lesson of theory and Solfezhio, looking at my four -headed chorale, Professor N. Pricolovsky asked me, the fourteen -year -old youth, did I try to compose? I remembered this question and allowed myself a luxury to think about compounds. There was a civil war, it was hungry, for rations I began to work as an accompanist in the club of a military unit and received full space for improvisation.

The next step was the Master Theater. The MastFor was located in the Press House - on the present Suvorovsky Boulevard - the hall, as a rule, was filled with writers, poets, artists. Especially successfully N. Foregger theatrical of songs. Somewhere he got for this "album of Western fashion dancing." When the source was exhausted, I had to try to compose myself. The first song was John Gray - Foxtrot, the text to which was written by V.

Then other foxtrots and tango - “Fuji”, “Baghdad”, “stronger than death” appeared in any case, became popular.
