In the autumn of 1921, Prokofiev wrote his Five Poems of Balmont, op. 35. These songs constitute his last serious contribution to the solo vocal repertoire. An in­ terval of fourteen years elapsed before Prokofiev again turned his attention to this medium. All the subsequent songs are of trifling substance and conform to the dictates of the State. The study of the early songs of Prokofiev is based on the Soviet critical edition of the composer's collected works. All twenty songs are included in Vol. XVII of this edition, which is under the general editorship of Dmitri _ Kabalevsky, Lev Oborin, Konstantin Sakva, and Georgy Khubov, and in which the "errors of previous editions have been unconditionally removed."1 The poetry of Akhmatova is available in the criti­ cal edition of her works recently published by Inter- Language Literary Associates.^ The poetry of Balmont has not yet been published in a critical edition. Indeed, some of the poetry utilized in Is. Prokof'ev, Sobranic Socinenij Tom 17 Vokal'nye socineniia dli.~ oc]nono 1. wi ja ci’nix colosov s forteoiano (Moscow: Izdacel'stvo Musyka, 1966), p. viii. 2 Ann a /bcmatova, Socineni 1a, tom pervyj , with intro­ ductory remarks by Gleb .Struve and Boris Filippov (Munich: Inter-Language Lit.erary Associates, 1965). Tom vtoroj, with introductory remc.rks by Aleksis Rannit and Viktor Frank (Munich: Inter-Language Literary Associates, 1968). 2 Prokofiev's op, 36 can be found only in the editions of the music itself. Otherwise the source has been the ori­ ginal edition of the early poetry of Balmont published by the Scorpion Publishing House,3 The purpose of this study is to investigate both music and poetry. In music the point of departure is the formal structure of each song and the establishment of the overall importance of Prokofiev's early songs and their stylistic values. Also investigated is the influence of other composers as seen in the songs of Prokofiev's early period with a special study of the mysticism and the syn­ thesis in the harmonic structure of Scriabin's music. The relationship of Prokofiev's early songs to the Russian solo vocal repertoire is seen tlirough an historical survey of the literature. Since the poet Balmont plays a parti­ cularly important role in the Prokofiev song literature, we include a study of Balmont settings for solo voice of three contemporaries of Prokofiev: Sergei Rakhmaninov, Nicholas Mlaskovsky, and Igor Stravinsky. In the realm of poetry is a study of the techniques of Balmont and /vkhmatova and their schools of poetry as re­ flected in the verses set by Prokofiev and a study in depth of selected poems. In this investigation we stress the interrelation­ ship of poetry and music with particular emphasis placed upon the influence of the formal structure of the poetry as v;ell as its* emotional and symbolical overtones as seen in the music. Since it is necessary to viev/ the problem in this study in its cultural environment, we have provided a brief survey of activities of Prokofiev’s contemporaries in the sphere of art, the ballot, and the theater. ^Konstantin Dmitrevic Bal'mont, Polnoe Sobranie Stixov (Moscow: Skorpion, 1907-14). Sergei Prokofiev was born in the last decade of the nineteenth century. The cultural activities in.Russia in this period provided the impetus for that last flowering of literature and the arts in the czarist regime, the Silver Age. Notable in this era was a tendency tov;ard a synthesis of all the arts. Painters, poets, musicians, v/riters, and actors worked in close collaboration. Tangible evidence of this was,a synthesis of both ideologies and of art forms. In the effort tov;ard amalgamation in the arbs the names of four men are prominent: Sergei Diaghilev, Kon­ stantin Stanislavsky, Alexander Scriabin, and Igor Stra­ vinsky. Each of these men played important roles in the course of Russian culture and influenced the activities and thinking of Sergei Prokofiev. Their contributions are eminent in the Moscov; Art Theater, the World of Art, the Diaghilev Ballet Russe, the Evenings of Contemnorarv Music, and in the publications of the leading poetic movements. The synthesis of all the arts sought by Scriabin, particularly in such vast works as his Mvstery (left un­ finished at his death), was actually most completely re­ alized by Sergei Diaghilev with his blending of music, painting, and dance in his Russian Ballet company. The syn­ thetic concept that pervades much of this period in Russia had as one of its forbears a concept expressed by Charles Baudelaire', that precursor of symbolism whose influence was keenly felt among the early Russian symbolist poets. In the poem "Correspondences" from his Fleurs du Mal, the French master states: "Les parfums, les couleurs et les sons se répondent." Other creative personalities affiliated with the above noted cultural manifestations and with the synthesis of the arts (all of v/hom were to wield an influence direct or indirect on Sergei Prokofiev) included: 1. In art and the ballet — Benois, Bakst, Fokine, Nijinsky. 2. In the theater — Nemirovich-Danchenko, Meyerhold. 3. In literature — Chekhov, Gorky, Merezhkovsky, Gippius, Bryusov, Balmont, Akhmatova, Blok, Gumilev, Mayakovsky. 4. In music — Rakhmaninov, Medtner, Miaskovsky. The cultural climate in the two final decades of the old regime permitted relatively unhampered creative activities.

  • Fyodor Sologub - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Fyodor Sologub - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Fyodor Sologub(1 March 1863 – 5 December 1927) Fyodor Sologub was a Russian Symbolist poet, novelist, playwright and essayist. He was the first writer to introduce the morbid, pessimistic elements characteristic of European fin de siècle literature and philosophy into Russian prose. <b>Early Life</b> Sologub was born in St. Petersburg into the family of a poor tailor, Kuzma Afanasyevich Teternikov, who had been a serf in Poltava guberniya, the illegitimate son of a local landowner. His father died of tuberculosis in 1867, and his illiterate mother was forced to become a servant in the home of the aristocratic Agapov family, where Sologub and his younger sister Olga grew up. Seeing how difficult his mother's life was, Sologub was determined to rescue her from it, and after graduating from the St. Petersburg Teachers' Institute in 1882 he took his mother and sister with him to his first teaching post in Kresttsy, where he began his literary career with the 1884 publication in a children's magazine of his poem "The Fox and the Hedgehog" under the name Te-rnikov. Sologub continued writing as he relocated to new jobs in Velikiye Luki (1885) and Vytegra (1889), but felt that he was completely isolated from the literary world and longed to be able to live in the capital again; nevertheless, his decade-long experience with the "frightful world" of backwoods provincial life served him well when he came to write The Petty Demon.

  • Elenco Di Consistenza Del
    ISTITUTO STORICO DELLA RESISTENZA IN TOSCANA ELENCO DI CONSISTENZA DEL FONDO MICHELE CANTARELLA Censimento delle carte al maggio 2010 a cura di Eleonora Giaquinto Nota preliminare La documentazione, divisa in ventuno buste, si presenta tuttora priva di ordinamento organico e numerazione delle carte. Le buste indicate nell’elenco con i numeri provvisori 1-16 contengono carteggio, fotografie e stralci di periodici, manoscritti e inviti, in prevalenza attinenti all’archivio di Michele Cantarella. Parte della documentazione, in alcuni casi non facilmente separabile dal complesso principale, è stata prodotta invece dalla moglie Helene Paquin Cantarella, traduttrice, e si configura come un archivio aggregato. Molto materiale riguarda Gaetano Salvemini, del quale Michele Cantarella curò la bibliografia. Di questa opera si conserva nelle carte di Cantarella grandissima parte del lavoro preparatorio. Sempre di Gaetano Salvemini si conservano qui manoscritti autografi e dattiloscritti delle traduzioni in lingua inglese realizzate per lui da H. Cantarella. Nelle buste provvisoriamente indicate coi numeri 17-21 si conservano invece alcuni periodici e opuscoli a stampa, donati dal produttore all’Istituto e in parte usati per la bibliografia. A causa del poco tempo a disposizione per il presente intervento, non si è potuto procedere al riordino, ma solo alla realizzazione di un censimento del contenuto del fondo. In conseguenza di ciò non è stato possibile naturalmente né spostare alcuna carta, né procedere alla numerazione delle stesse. Quindi i numeri indicati nella descrizione, sia quelli delle buste che quelli dei fascicoli provvisori, già esistenti o formati nel corso dell’intervento, hanno il solo scopo di dare un’idea sommaria della consistenza del fondo nel suo complesso.

  • From%20Irina%20Reyman%2C%20Ritualized%20Violence
    PHYSICAL INVIOLABILITY AND THE DUEL pUNCH OR STAB: THE RUSSIAN DUELIST’S DILEMMA The Russian duel was a surprisingly and consistently violent affair. I do not imply that Russian duels were more deadly than those in the West (the fatality rate in Russia never approached that in France in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries or in Germany at the end of the nineteenth century).1 I mean rather that conflicts over honor were frequently resolved in unregu lated spontaneous physical confrontations rather than in formal en- counters . Furthermore, those confrontations differed from rencontres in that they involved direct physical contact—hand-to-hand fighting or the use of weapons unrecognized by the dueling ritual, such as walking sticks or whips. The use of standard dueling weapons— swords or pistols—appears to have been optional. In other words, from the introduction of the duel in Russia to its demise, a conflict over honor was as likely (and at times more likely) to result in an im mediate and violent hand-to-hand fight as in a formal duel of honor. This happened so frequently that physical force seems to have been an accepted alternative to the duel. In fact, it would be possible to write (—S A Brief History of Dueling in Russia 97 98 a variant history of dueling in Russia featuring fistfights, slaps in the Everyone present—nobles face, and battering with walking sticks. and commoners, officers and enlisted men, Historians of the Russian women too—had at each other.

    FOLIA ORIENTALIA — BIBLIOTHECA VOL. I — 2018 DOI 10.24425/for.2019.126132 Yousef Sh’hadeh Jagiellonian University [email protected] The Koran in the Poetry of Alexander Pushkin and Ivan Bunin: Inspiration, Citation and Intertextuality Abstract The Koran became an inspiration to the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837), made obvious in many of his works, such as Imitations of the Koran, The Prophet, and In a Secret Cave. Pushkin studied the translation of the Koran carefully and used many verses of its Surahs in his texts. Many of his contemporary poets and followers were influenced by his poetry, like Ivan Bunin (1870–1953), who continued the traditions of Pushkin. Bunin repeated many thoughts from Koranic discourse and placed them in his poems that were full of faith and spirituality. He wrote many of them at the beginning of the 20th century1, before his emigration to France in 1918, for example: Mohammed in Exile, Guiding Signs and For Treason. It has been noted that Bunin was quoting verses from the Koran to create an intertextual relationships between some Surahs and his poems, showing a great enthusiasm to mystical dimension of Islam. We find this aspect in many works, such as The Night of al-Qadr, Tamjid, Black Stone of the Kaaba, Kawthar, The Day of Reckoning and Secret. It can also be said that a spiritual inspiration and rhetoric of Koran were not only attractive to Pushkin and Bunin, but also to a large group of Russian poets and writers, including Gavrila Derzhavin, Mikhail Lermontov, Fyodor Tyutchev, Yakov Polonsky, Lukyan Yakubovich, Konstantin Balmont, and others.

  • RACE and the NEWS Coverage of Martin Luther King Day and Dia De Los Muertos in Two California Dailies
    RACE AND THE NEWS Coverage of Martin Luther King Day and Dia de los Muertos in two California dailies Regina M. Marchi News coverage of multicultural celebrations has been categorized as stereotypical and apolitical*portraying racial minorities in festive, non-threatening ways that appeal to Anglo audiences without challenging the political system that oppresses people of color. Analyzing 10 years of Martin Luther King Day and Day of the Dead celebration coverage in the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, this paper concludes that a significant number of celebration stories discuss serious political issues affecting people of color in ways that contradict the assumptions of racial equality and peaceful coexistence generally associated with multi- cultural projects. Because of the ‘‘sphere of consensus’’ status of these ‘‘soft’’ news stories, non-elite sources and oppositional perspectives are prominent in ways that are not typical of ‘‘hard’’ political news. KEYWORDS multiculturalism; non-elite sources; public rituals; race in the news; racial stereotypes; soft news; sphere of consensus Introduction News coverage of multicultural celebrations is widely considered to be apolitical because of its focus on children, family entertainment, and ‘‘exotic’’ cultural performances that stand out from the everyday conventions of mainstream Anglo Americans. Such news falls within the journalistic realm of the ‘‘sphere of consensus,’’ which Dan Hallin defines as ‘‘the region of motherhood and apple pie: in its bounds lie those social objects not regarded by journalists and by most of the society as controversial’’ (1994, p. 53). Typically accompanied by photos, news on ethnic festivals such as Chinese New Year, Native American pow-wows, or Cinco de Mayo has evolved from relatively rare (pre-1980s)1 to routine fare at newspapers across the United States.

The core part, a frequency database of the corpus, includes annotation at the level of texts, verses, words as well as patterns of words, letters, and stress. The tool allows a user to study certain properties (e. g. rhyming patterns, lexical co-occurrence) taken alone and in their interaction, both in the whole corpus and in subcorpora.
