  • Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakow (Geb. Tichwin, 18. März 1844 – Gest. St. Petersburg, 21. Juni 1908) Majskaja Notsch («Die Mainacht»
    Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakow (geb. Tichwin, 18. März 1844 – gest. St. Petersburg, 21. Juni 1908) Majskaja notsch («Die Mainacht») Komische Oper in drei Akten (1878/79) Libretto des Komponisten nach der gleichnamigen Erzählung Gogols Vorwort Für den jungen Rimsky-Korsakow war der Monat Dezember 1871 eine Zeit voller Zauber. Zum einen verlobte er sich mit der schönen und intelligenten Nadeshda Purgold, einer vorzüglichen Pianistin, die damals Rimsky-Korsakow an rein musikalischen Fähigkeiten weit übertraf. Am Abend des Heiratsantrags lasen sich die beiden Liebenden gegenseitig aus der Sammlung der Volkserzählungen Wetschera na chutore blis Dikanki («Abende auf dem Vorwerk bei Dikanka», 1831/32) vor, wobei sie bald auf die Erzählung „Mainacht, oder Die Ertrunkene“ stießen. Von der Schönheit des neuartigen Schreibstils und der vielschichtigen volkstümlichen Kulisse entzückt, regte Nadeshda den Komponisten am gleichen Abend an, eine Oper über die Erzählung zu schreiben. Auch nach der Hochzeit im Jahre 1872 wiederholte sie immer wieder ihre Anregung, die schließlich dazu führte, daß 1878 Rimsky-Korsakow 1878 mit der Arbeit an seiner zweiten Oper Die Mainacht begann. Bei der Gogolschen Sammlung handelt es sich um ein Frühwerk, das im Ton und Inhalt von seinen späteren satirischen Meisterwerken Revisor (1836) und den Toten Seelen (1842) noch weit entfernt war. Nichtsdestotrotz fand das Werk bei der russischen literarischen Intelligenz sofort Anklang – und noch mehr bei den damaligen russischen Komponisten. Die Erzählungen dienten als Vorlagen zu einer Vielzahl russischer Opernpartituren des 19. Jahrhunderts, darunter vor allem die unvollendete komische Oper Mussorgskis Der Jahrmarkt von Sorotschinzy (1876-81) sowie Tschaikowskys Oper Der Schmied Wakula (1876), die später auch in einer überarbeiteten Fassung als Die Pantöffelchen (1887) erschien.

  • Architecture As Frozen Music: Italy and Russia in the Context of Cultural Relations in the 18Th -19Th Centuries
    Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts - Volume 4, Issue 2 – Pages 123-132 Architecture as Frozen Music: Italy and Russia in the Context of Cultural Relations in the 18th -19th Centuries By Tatiana Samsonova This article deals with the two kinds of art, architecture and music, in their stylistic mutual influence on the historical background of St. Petersburgʼs founding and developing as the new capital of the Russian Empire in the early 18th century. The author highlights the importance of Italian architects and musicians in the formation of modern culture in Russia and shows how the main features of Baroque and Classicism are reflected both in the architecture and music thanks to the influence of the Italian masters. For the first time the issue of the "Russian bel canto" formation resulted from the Italian maestros working in Russia in 18–19 centuries is revealed. Russian-Italian relations originated in the 18th century and covered various cultural phenomena. Their impact is vividly seen in architecture and music in St. Petersburg, which was founded in 1703 by the Russian Emperor Peter the Great whose strong desire was to turn Russia into Europe. As the famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin wrote in his "The Bronze Horseman" (1834), "the Emperor cut a Europe window." For St. Petersburg construction as a new Russian capital outstanding Italian architects were invited. The first Italian architect, who came to St. Petersburg, was Domenico Trezzini (1670- 1734), a famous European urban designer and engineer. In the period of 1703- 1716 he was the only architect working in St. Petersburg and the Head of City Development Office.

  • Igor Stravinsky
    A PORTRAIT Igor Stravinsky 1882–1971 Igor Stravinsky: A Portrait Preface Among the carefully adapted transcriptions of conversations between the veteran Stravinsky and Robert Craft, there is one especially telling passage. Referring to his 1920 ballet Pulcinella, the composer recalls the reaction to his arrangements of Pergolesi and other eighteenth-century musicians: People who had never heard of, or cared about, the originals cried ‘sacrilege’: ‘The classics are ours. Leave the classics alone.’ To them all my answer was and is the same: You ‘respect’, but I love. A great genius’s love for all his models is what lies at the heart of Stravinsky’s creativity. (It is worth noting that although he was apt to put inverted commas around the word ‘heart’, Stravinsky leaves the word ‘love’ to stand unqualified in the above quotation.) He made everything he touched become his own, whether it was the lush nationalist influence of his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov, or the extreme refinement of Anton Webern, whose music he discovered so late in life. No theme was deemed too cheap or outlandish a subject for transformation, and his inspiration was wide-ranging. Prokofiev thought him a disgraceful thief for pilfering other ballet composers’ ideas in Apollo, but Stravinsky’s genuine admiration for composers as unlikely as Gounod and Delibes was unlimited. Hungarian and Greek folk music, the antics of the music hall 4 Igor Stravinsky: A Portrait entertainer Little Tich, and the jazz trumpeting of Shorty Rogers: all these were grist to his creative mill. As the awed conductors who welcomed the eighty-year-old Stravinsky back to Russia so eloquently wrote at the time, the only figure with whom he could be compared was Picasso.
