And Gavrilin Biography

An apple in my hands is music, its juice is human pain, faith, hope, love, good. And I give it to people, and I want a meal for a musical feast to be universal, fraternal, without chosen and a glutton. And so that musical food for all our people would be simple, healthy and useful. ” These were the aspirations of the composer Valery Gavrilin. Valery Alexandrovich is from Vologda.

He always called Vologda, he carried his home, and loved her love to her until his death. The fate of the Russian woman will become one of the main topics in the work of Gavrilin. The composer’s father died near Leningrad during the war, and his mother, a fiery communist, was accused of denunciation. Rehabilitates it only in the year. All this time Valera will spend in an orphanage.

But the composer did not regret this period. The guys conduct the household, take care of the cattle, plant the garden and, as Gavrilin himself recalled, educate the spirit of partnership in themselves. The orphanage even has its own choir, a folk orchestra and piano. There Valera is immersed in the world of music. A commission from Leningrad arrives at the final exams in Vologda, who selected gifted children for study - the fate of Gavrilin was decided.

The talented boy is accepted at the Leningrad Conservatory first in the Clarnet class, but the young man really wants to play the piano. Alas, it does not come out. But when the composer department opens, Valery immediately goes there. At the end of the ninth grade, Gavrilin already has its own piano works and romances. In the conservatory, the young author is fond of folklore, travels on expeditions in which he studies a folk song.

An indisputable masterpiece - “Russian notebook” - Gavrilin will present as a diploma graduate school. Shostakovich will tell the young man that it would be worthwhile to end his career, and start with her, means to doom himself to a difficult fate. Gavrilin was not afraid.

Gavrilin wrote: “One of the goals of our composer art is the knowledge of the world.

Why is this our knowledge is not always interesting to listeners? Why is it so confusing and unclear in expression? Why is it expressed in such a dense, impassable, impassable form? But he did not make these genres easier, but created something new that musicologists would call the song-symphonic genre. The whole life of Gavrilin is a physical sensation of duty to his people. His anxiety and shock became the composer’s pain.

He always searched for ways to the heart of a simple person, so that he could reach the bright and beautiful. I live without taking care of food, warmth, light, clothes - my people are doing everything for me, generously allows me to be an overlap. I am the debtor to my Russia, and maybe the debtor is negligent. But my people are kind and condescending to me, hoping for my conscience.

And I want my best to answer the love of Russia with love worthy of it. ” Text: Nikita Kurochko.
