Tchaikovsky wedge biography

The school of photography K. Tchaikovsky in Klin “The name of Tchaikovsky is close and dear to the person - it sounds for us as a symbol of greatness and humanistic art of art in his ingenious personality happily combined natural talent with tireless creative energy that made him again and again turn to people, speak with them the language of his music” - this is how Tchaikovsky characterizes Dmitry Dmitrievich Shostakovich.

The language of the music of the great Russian composer is equally understandable and close to people of all nationalities that inhabit Pasha Planet. And it is not surprising that the city of the city of Klin is marked on all tourist routes, that the flow of visitors rushes daily to a small two -story house in which Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky lived and created. By this time, Pyotr Ilyich was already a year by already a famous composer.

Many young musicians were drawn to him, his authority in Russian musical society and the conservatory was very high. The production on the St. Petersburg scene of the operas of the Orleans Virgin, Mazepa and especially Eugene Onegin, who had a brilliant success, aroused increased interest in Tchaikovsky’s work. The concert performances of his symphonic and chamber works, the setting of operas, publishing affairs called for the composer either to St.

Petersburg or Moscow. After leaving the Moscow Conservatory in the year, Tchaikovsky became the Kamenka in Ukraine, where his sister A. Davydov and his family lived. Arriving in Moscow, Peter Ilyich was forced to stay in hotels. The need to be “at least somewhere at home” has matured in the composer for several years. Without owning the capital necessary to buy the estate, Tchaikovsky was looking for the opportunity to rent a suitable room for a long time in such a corner, where everything around would create the conditions necessary for creativity.

It was this need that led Peter Ilyich to the decision to live outside the city. His servant Alexei Sofronov, a native of Klinsky district, hired a house in the village of Maidanov under a wedge, in the estate of Novikova, located near the city. This undoubtedly mattered for the composer: the wedge stands on the railway Moscow - Petersburg, from here on any day you could go to one of the capitals.

And close, and not nearby. In the very first days of arrival in Maidanovo, Tchaikovsky wrote: “What a blessing to be at home!

What bliss to know that no one will come, it will not interfere with classes, or reading, nor walks! Most thoughts, however, arise in me during my daily walks with a notebook in my hand, where all the emerging musical images were introduced, Tchaikovsky made his obligatory two -hour walks, despite the weather. Having grown up in the wilderness of Prikamye, from early childhood, fascinated by the beauty of Russian nature, Pyotr Ilyich wrote: “The day is wonderful, sunny, the snow shines with the myriads of diamonds, and slightly grows.

From my window is a wide view of the Pal! Well, spacious, you breathe with all your chest under this boundless horizon! A letter to N. Maidanovo “Klinsky period” is almost nine years of Tchaikovsky’s life and work. These are the years of achieving the highest heyday of the composer’s skill, the creation of works included in the world musical treasury. Constantine Paustovsky’s warmth and poetically revealed the significance of these clinsky years: “Tchaikovsky loved this Russian land with a shy, silent, but frantic force.” In the village of Maidanovo, the composer settled on February 5.

The estate was located on the high bank of the Sistra River. Behind her are forests, fields. Although February was on, frosts stood, snow lay in a thick layer, and the house was not very warm and comfortable, Tchaikovsky with satisfaction reported to the singer O. Pavlovskaya: “I can’t portray how charming the Russian village, the Russian landscape and this silence were in which I needed everything more.” Silence for creative work!

In the Maidanov, where the composer lived until the end of the year, a new edition of the opera “Kuznets Vakula” “Cherevichki”, the Symphony “Manfred”, the Opera Vacation, the play for the piano “Dumka” life in the village did not scare the composer, were created. Every time of the year had its own special charm for Tchaikovsky. You wait not wait for the post, and with it the first signs of spring.

But what magic is our spring with its suddenness, with its luxurious power! .. With what love do you greet the first green grass! How rejoice in the arrival of rooks, and followed by larks and other overseas birds! Spring, the awakening of life, love, he devoted to the bright musical fairy tale-ballet “Sleeping Beauty”, created in Frolovsky, where Peter Ilyich moved in the year.

Frolovskoye - a lovely corner under the wedge. A secluded manor, a house with ancient furniture, a neglected garden, moving directly into the forest, a wide distance - everything pleased Peter Ilyich, everything was in the heart. He lived in Frolovsky for three years, here he returned from touring trips to Western Europe, crowned with laurels as a composer and as a conductor.Berlin, Leipzig, Hamburg, Prague, Paris, London - Concerts under the direction of Tchaikovsky, concerts in honor of Tchaikovsky, evenings, lunches, street serenades, more and more new acquaintances in the musical world of the West in May Tchaikovsky wrote: “I am completely in love with Frolovskoye, the fifth Symphony, Hamlet Hulture“ Memory of Florence ”were written here.

Pyotr Ilyich even dreamed of buying a sweet Frolovskoye. Tchaikovsky’s work has always been associated with the deepest attitude created by communication with nature. In the fall of the year - the first performance of the opera Eugene Onegin abroad, on the stage of the Prague National Theater. By the beginning of the 10ths, the authority of Tchaikovsky both in Russia and beyond it grew very much, and the composer glory stepped over the ocean.

A concert trip to the United States of America in the year weaved a lot of laurels into its triumph wreath. In these last years, Tchaikovsky is an honorary member of many domestic and foreign musical organizations and societies: the Florentine Academy, the Prague Smolets Conversation, the Amsterdam Musical Society, the corresponding member of the France Institute, the Music Doctor of Cambridge University.

All these trips, meetings, triumphs were not easy for Tchaikovsky. He was depressed by longing for his homeland and the idea that instead of composition he was engaged in "not his own business." Conscious, however, that his foreign performances break prejudice against Russian music and breaking her path to the Western concert pops, that Russian music “travels” in his face, Tchaikovsky believed that he did not have the right to refuse invitations.

But the need for creativity was made more persistently. And it was possible to create only in solitude, without interference. After a year's life in the Maidanov, Tchaikovsky settled in Klin, in a house, then located in one mile from the city, near the barrier. He said to his brother Anatoly: “I hired a house in Klin for the future life from the house a wonderful look and with him the garden is very sufficient.” Wherever Tchaikovsky lived, everywhere he set the hard schedule of the day and steadily followed him.

So life was built in the Klinsky house. On a large stairs, visitors climb the second floor, where the composer’s rooms are located. In the hallway you can get acquainted with Tchaikovsky’s personal things, his clothes, various offers - evidence of love and veneration of his work. Through the hallway we entered the household room of Peter Ilyich. Here everything was preserved as it was with the owner.

Everything stands in the same places, all the local objects touched his hands. The faces of relatives, friends, comrades, students of Peter Ilyich look at us from the walls, telling us about the exceptional heart memory of a great and modest person. All paintings and portraits are hung according to his desire. At the table by the window, many letters are written. The correspondence of Peter Ilyich gives us the opportunity to look into the depths of the depths of the personality of the great artist.

Responding to one correspondent at the time of the widest fame and glory, Tchaikovsky wrote: “It seems to me that I am really gifted with the property of truthfully, sincerely and simply express music, moods and images that the text leads to. In this sense, I am a realist and indigenous Russian person. What is the artistic value, what is the degree of strength of creativity, which is given to me in the destiny - this is different.

I do not have the slightest claim for genius. ” The composer carefully kept the received letters, re -read them. He loved to dive and the past. But the "present" presented its rights, bringing him joy, and chagrin, and glory. The Directorate of Theaters ordered Tchaikovsky more and more new works, concert organizations - their own and foreign ones - persistently invited on tour, musical publishers sought the right to publish his works.

From everywhere there were letters with requests to give an autograph, viewing works, help organize touring in Russia, arrange for work, and help financially. Tchaikovsky called himself a "martyr of the post", but considered it his duty to respond to every letter and help the askers. Correspondence most often allocated afternoon hours. The morning were the most fruitful, creative.

In the summer, the day began in the balcony-background. Here, met by the morning sun, Peter Ilyich drank tea, looked through the mail, and after a little walk he hurried to the desktop. Lunch, then a big walk, in the evening - playing a piano or reading. Tchaikovsky’s library cabinets are filled with books of various content - fiction, natural science, history, philosophy, books in Russian, French, English, Italian and other languages.

He read with a pencil in his hands. On the fields of many books, various instruments have been preserved, as well as sketches, musical sketches of conceived works. Love for Russian literature, Russian writers encouraged Peter Ilyich to acquire their works and in translations into foreign languages. He wrote out various magazines. Having got acquainted with the work of the young Chekhov, Peter Ilyich immediately guessed in him "the future pillar of our literature." Deeply honored the composer of Leo Tolstoy, whom he met in the year.null
