The magic beauty of the Russian winter in music, poetry and painting.

the Theme of nature is an eternal theme in the work of poets, artists and musicians. Man - part of nature, it is peculiar to reflect on the relationship with nature he is. The theme of nature was manifested in the verses of poets, in paintings, in music. We are not always able to see and hear the beauty of mother nature. And artists often help us, teach us to look and listen to the world. Many artists, poets and composers loved the winter for its magical beauty, clean, clear sparkling colors. Only the most attentive listener of music will open its fairy-gates. Listen to the wonderful sounds of music - and you will hear: the slight breeze, the quiet rustle of falling snowflakes or ringing drops... Moreover, they not only convey their own mood, feelings in a work of art, but also convey to the viewer or listener the sounds, colors, scents, beauty and harmony.

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin about winter.

Here the North, scolding clouds,

Breathed, howled-and here itself
there Is a fairy winter.
Came crumbled; tufts
Hung on the boughs of oaks;
Formed a wavy carpet
among the fields, around the hills;
Brega, with a motionless river
Leveled plump shroud;
Flashed a cold. We are glad
Mischief mother winter.

"Лыжники" B. Kustodiev

***

Tidier fashion flooring,

Shine a river ice wearing.

Boys joyful people

Skates resoundingly the ice cut;

On red legs goose heavy,

having Decided to sail through the heart of the waters,

Stepping carefully on the ice,

Slips and falls@the semicolon funny Flashes,

winds of the first snow,

the Stars fell on the shore.

Winter in all its glory, peasant children breathing patterns of the frozen con beg on the street. Barely-еле warm fire at home kamelek, women and girls in domestic work, spin, embroider, prepare food, accompanying every action with folk music. This piece, the composer conjures up a lyrical mood, I want to dream, falling asleep by the fire and dropping the book. Nostalgia for the summer of sounds in a warm and open sound, dreamy and sentimental melodies. Variations of passages of short and rapid motifs create subtle musical allegory, gradually calming down as the warmth melts the snow, brought from the street and lying on the firewood, cord of wood, how to dissolve the dream that you think before you sleep.
