It influences our personalities,outlooks and points of view.When seeing films, different emotions and feelings may arouse inside you: one may be gripped or depressed, interested or bored, feel sympathy or hatred.When you decide to go to the cinema, first of all, you want to distract yourself from daily routine and obtain unforgettable impressions.It depends on a person what film to choose.

СHAIKOVSKY

(1840-1893)

To begin with, it will be relevant to say that there are different aspects of art: cinema, theatre,literature,painting and music. Each educated person must be aware of all of them.

There is no doubt that we get in touch with music more frequently than with any other aspect of art.We can hear music everywhere: sitting on the sofa on TV, listening to the radio,driving a car and even in the café.

It’s common knowledge that there are various kinds of music.Classical music, jazz,rock and pop- music are only some of its kinds.

Today we’ll focus our attention on a very outstanding personality,the representative of Russian classical music- Petro Chaikovsky.

He was born in the Urals. His father was a mining engineer by profession.When in childhood,Chaikovsky liked music, but he didn’t want to connect his life with it.His dream was to become a lawyer. He had already started studying law, when at the age of 21 he made up his mind to get involved in music - he entered the conservatoire at St. Petersburg.After graduating from the conservatoire, he was made a professor at the Moscow Conservatoire.At that time Chaikovsky wrote many pieces of music, as well as taught much.

Petro Chaikovsky wrote music of various kinds- ballets, operas, songs, symphonies and piano concerts.

There is hardly a person who didn’t hear his “ Swan Lake”. This composition is well known among both adults and children.It helps to detach yourself from problems, contributes to good mood.

Almost everybody knows his “ Nutcracker Suite”, “ Dance with the Sugar Plum Fairy”, “Waltz of Flowers”.

Apart from the mentioned compositions, we can call the ballet “ Sleeping Beauty”, the overture “Romeo and Juliet, operas “ Eugene Onegin”, “Mazzeppa”,” The Queen of Spades ” and the symphony “ Pathetique”.

Chaikovsky produced not only gay music, some of his works are sad. But most of his compositions are rather tuneful.

It’s a very suprising fact, that at the beginning of the career, his compositions were failures. And now, Chaikovsky’s music remains extant: it is being played all around the world.Everyone finds his music charming and valuable.
