Brief information about some famous musical compositions

Ludwig van Beethoven. Symphony No. 5
Perhaps the most famous of all symphonies is Beethoven's classic. If you like this symphony, try listening to the other 8 symphonies composed by Beethoven.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "Marriage of Figaro"
Perhaps the pinnacle of Mozart's work in opera, based on Beaumarchais's comedy "Crazy Day or The Marriage of Figaro", a magnificent cocktail of wonderful music and comic situations.

Ludwig van Beethoven. "Moonlight Sonata"
In the summer of 1801, the brilliant work of L.B. was published. Beethoven, who was destined to become famous throughout the world. The title of this work, “Moonlight Sonata,” is known to absolutely everyone, from old to young. But initially, the work had the title “Almost a Fantasy,” which the author dedicated to his young student, his beloved Juliet Guicciardi. And the name by which it is known to this day was invented by the music critic and poet Ludwig Relstab after the death of L.V. Beethoven. This work is one of the composer's most famous musical works.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "Turkish March"
This work is the third movement of Sonata No. 11, it was born in 1783. Initially it was called “Turkish Rondo” and was very popular among Austrian musicians, who later renamed it. The name “Turkish March” was assigned to the work also because it is in tune with the Turkish Janissary orchestras, for which the sound of percussion is very characteristic, which can be seen in the “Turkish March” by V.A. Mozart.

Franz Schubert. "Ave Maria"
The composer himself wrote this work for the poem “The Virgin of the Lake” by W. Scott, or rather for its fragment, and did not intend to write such a deeply religious composition for the Church. Some time after the appearance of the work, an unknown musician, inspired by the prayer “Ave Maria,” set its text to the music of the brilliant F. Schubert.

Frederic Chopin. "Fantasy-impromptu"
F. Chopin, the genius of the Romantic period, dedicated this work to his friend. And it was he, Julian Fontana, who disobeyed the author’s instructions and published it in 1855, six years after the composer’s death. F. Chopin believed that his work was similar to the impromptu of I. Moscheles, a student of Beethoven, a famous composer and pianist, which was the reason for the refusal to publish “Fantasia-Impromptus”. However, no one has ever considered this brilliant work to be plagiarism, except the author himself.

Johann Strauss (junior). "On the beautiful blue Danube" (The Blue Danube)
This elegant waltz has become the unofficial anthem of Austria (where Mozart is “our everything”), gracefully capturing the beauty of the big city of Vienna.

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. "Flight of the Bumblebee"
The composer of this work was a fan of Russian folklore - he was interested in fairy tales. This led to the creation of the opera “The Tale of Tsar Saltan” based on the story by A.S. Pushkin. Part of this opera is the interlude “Flight of the Bumblebee”. Masterfully, incredibly vividly and brilliantly, N.A. imitated the flight sounds of this insect in the work. Rimsky-Korsakov.

Niccolo Paganini. "Caprice No. 24"
Initially, the author composed all his caprices solely to improve and hone his violin playing skills. Ultimately, they brought a lot of new and previously unknown things to violin music. And the 24th caprice - the last of the caprices composed by N. Paganini, carries a rapid tarantella with folk intonations, and is also recognized as one of the works ever created for the violin, which has no equal in complexity.

Sergei Vasilyevich Rahmaninov. "Vocalise, Opus 34, No. 14"
This work concludes the composer’s 34th opus, which combines fourteen songs written for voice with piano accompaniment. Vocalise, as expected, does not contain words, but is performed on one vowel sound. S.V. Rachmaninov dedicated it to Antonina Nezhdanova, an opera singer. Very often this work is performed on the violin or cello accompanied by piano accompaniment.

Claude Debussy. "Moonlight"
This work was written by the composer under the impression of the lines of a poem by the French poet Paul Verlaine. The title very clearly conveys the softness and touchingness of the melody, which affects the soul of the listener. This popular work by the brilliant composer C. Debussy is heard in 120 films of different generations.

Gioachino Rossini "The Barber of Seville"
A wonderful comic opera from the great Italian composer. Rossini used the famous overture from this opera in two of his other operas.

Richard Wagner. "Siegfried Idyll"
A symphonic piece created as a birthday gift for his wife and named after his newborn son, who was named after the hero of the opera Siegfried. The main theme of this play is taken from the opera "Siegfried" from the cycle "Ring of the Nibelung".

Hector Berlioz. "Fantastic Symphony" (Symphonie Fantastique)
The greatest contribution of the French composer Hector Berlioz to orchestral music,
"Fantastic Symphony" is a surprisingly colorful and expressive work.

Robert Schumann. "The Poet's Love" (Dichterliebe)
One of the greatest song cycles for piano and voice.
A set of 16 poems by Heinrich Heine, set to music by Schumann, revives in the heart hope and pride in the wonderful ability and destiny of man - to love!

Dmitry Dmitrievich Shostakovich. Symphony No. 10
After Stalin's death in 1953, Shostakovich, after a long period of forced creative restriction, was finally able to freely create an epoch-making work.
The result was one of the great symphonies of the 20th century, in which the composer summed up the era of Stalinism and is believed to have created a unique musical portrait of Stalin.

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Symphony No. 6
Tchaikovsky's final work is a masterpiece of emotional anguish.
It seems that such deep scenes of spiritual life, despair and hopelessness have never been expressed in music with such incomparable talent and beauty.

Johannes Brahms. Concerto for violin and cello and orchestra
In the history of music, not many concertos have been created for violin and cello, and the brightest among them is Brahms’ Double Concerto, which incorporates the best features of his symphonic and chamber works. The concert is full of beautiful melodies and, despite all the outward restraint, is unusually emotional.

Antonio Vivaldi. "Seasons"
One of the most popular works of classical music, known to almost everyone. Four seasons - four violin concertos, each better than the other.

Georges Bizet. "Carmen"
Overture, habanera, Toreador couplets, seguidilla, “Gypsy Dance” - hits in this work follow with such frequency that no other great opera can boast. One can only envy those who have not heard them yet.

Richard Strauss "Don Juan"
This symphonic poem is one of the greatest masterpieces of the composer's entire creative biography. From the pen of Strauss comes a character of astonishing brightness - a portrait of Don Juan. Four horns intone the theme in unison against the backdrop of excitedly tremulous violins, and it sounds like a bold and captivating challenge.

Giuseppe Verdi. "La Traviata"
“Don Giovanni”, “Carmen” and “La Traviata” are one of the three best operas in the world. The charm of La Traviata is impossible to resist, even if you are indifferent to Italian opera: the music is so delightful. A famous love story that is born and dies before our eyes.

Gustav Holst Suite "The Planets"
A monumental musical work dedicated to the planets of the solar system and the gods of the same name.
The suite describes seven planets, the composer missed Earth, and Pluto had not yet been discovered, and now it is no longer a planet.

The main character is the soul. For a person, his position in society, the amount of money is not important, it is important for him to find himself and his place in this life, to find the truth and peace of mind.

The books of Russian literature are united by the features of a writer who has the gift of the great Word, who has completely devoted himself to this art of literature. The best classics saw life not flatly, but multifacetedly. They wrote about life not of random destinies, but of those expressing existence in its most unique manifestations.

Russian classics are so different, with different destinies, but what unites them is that literature is recognized as a school of life, a way of studying and developing Russia.

Russian classical literature was created by the best writers from different parts of Russia. It is very important where the author was born, because this determines his formation as a person, his development, and it also affects his writing skills. Pushkin, Lermontov, Dostoevsky were born in Moscow, Chernyshevsky in Saratov, Shchedrin in Tver. Poltava region in Ukraine is the birthplace of Gogol, Podolsk province - Nekrasov, Taganrog - Chekhov.

The three great classics, Tolstoy, Turgenev and Dostoevsky, were completely different people from each other, had different destinies, complex characters and great talents. They made a huge contribution to the development of literature, writing their best works, which still excite the hearts and souls of readers. Everyone should read these books.

Another important difference between the books of Russian classics is that they ridicule the shortcomings of a person and his way of life. Satire and humor are the main features of the works. However, many critics said that this was all slander. And only true connoisseurs saw how the characters are both comical and tragic at the same time. Such books always touch the soul.

Here you can find the best works of classical literature. You can download books of Russian classics for free or read them online, which is very convenient.

We present to your attention the 100 best books of Russian classics. The full list of books includes the best and most memorable works of Russian writers. This literature is known to everyone and is recognized by critics from all over the world.

Of course, our list of top 100 books is just a small part that brings together the best works of the great classics. It can be continued for a very long time.

A hundred books that everyone should read in order to understand not only how they used to live, what were the values, traditions, priorities in life, what they were striving for, but to find out in general how our world works, how bright and pure the soul can be and how valuable it is for a person, for the development of his personality.

The top 100 list includes the best and most famous works of Russian classics. The plot of many of them is known from school. However, some books are difficult to understand at a young age and require wisdom that is acquired over the years.

Of course, the list is far from complete; it can be continued endlessly. Reading such literature is a pleasure. She doesn’t just teach something, she radically changes lives, helps us understand simple things that we sometimes don’t even notice.

We hope you liked our list of classic books of Russian literature. You may have already read some of it, and some not. A great reason to make your own personal list of books, your top ones that you would like to read.

Some people think that classical music is too boring and will certainly fall asleep as soon as it is played, while others, on the contrary, get real pleasure from listening to classical works. And for such people there is nothing better than a ticket to a concert of some famous symphony orchestra in order to enjoy this incomparable feeling of live music live. So, our article today is devoted rather to the second category of people. However, even if you consider yourself to be the first, don’t be disappointed right away - try to look at this music in a new way, perhaps it will suit your current mood just right.

List of the most famous works of classical music

1. Ludwig Van Beethoven “Moonlight Sonata”, 1801

This work was first heard by audiences in the summer of 1801. Surely you have at least once heard either the melody itself or its name. However, few people know that the work was originally called “Almost a Fantasy” and was dedicated to Beethoven’s young student. And the name by which the melody is known today was invented by one music critic after the death of the composer himself.

2. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart “Turkish March”, 1783

This is one of the movements of Sonata No. 11. By the way, the name “Turkish March” is also not the original version. Initially the work was called “Turkish Rondo”. However, since it was incredibly popular among Turkish musicians, they later renamed it “Turkish March”. In addition, this name was assigned to it also because it contains a sufficient number of percussion instruments, which is typical for Turkish Janissary orchestras.

3. Franz Schubert “Ave Maria”

As the composer himself admitted, he did not intend to write such a religious composition. This work was originally written for the poem “The Maiden of the Lake” by W. Scott. But later, several years after writing this work, an unknown musician set the Ave Maria prayer to Schubert’s music.

4. Frederic Chopin “Impromptu Fantasy”

This melody was written at the height of the Romantic era. Chopin dedicated it to his friend and was forbidden to publish it anywhere. However, his friend disobeyed Chopin’s instructions and, five years after the great composer’s death, decided to publish his work. The reason for such a strict order regarding the publication of the melody was that the composer himself considered his work too similar to the work of Beethoven’s student. However, no one except the author considered this popular melody to be plagiarism.

5. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov “Flight of the Bumblebee”

The history of the creation of this most brilliant work is quite simple. The composer was an outspoken fan of Russian fairy tales. This feature of his led to the creation of an opera based on the fairy tale by A.S. Pushkin’s “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”, part of which is the most masterly work “The Flight of the Bumblebee”.

6. Niccolo Paganini “Caprice No. 24”

This is the last of the caprices composed by the great violinist. Initially, each of the caprices was composed only to hone the skill of playing the violin. In the future, many music critics considered Caprice No. 24 to be the most difficult of the works to play on the violin, which still has no equal.

7. Claude Debussy “Moonlight”

This work can rightfully be considered one of the most popular today. It has been used to one degree or another in 120 films. This wonderful melody was written by the composer under the impression of a poem by the French poet Paul Verlaine.

To the origins

Initially, music created in the era of Classicism was considered classical. This “classical” period gave a lot to modernity. Great composers were creating at that time, and their works, which had passed through the years, overcame the test of time, survived and earned recognition from several generations at once, were called “classics.”

Classic today

Modern songs, which you can download from us without registration, can also be classified as classics. Currently, the interpretation of this concept has changed somewhat. Classics are not only ancient instrumental compositions and creations of famous maestros of the past, but also many mp3s of living performers.

The main distinguishing feature is the contrast with pop music, which is aimed at the general public. Classics in most cases do not have a wide audience. It is understandable and pleasant only to a select few. Do you want to make sure that you belong to this group of connoisseurs? Then we invite you to listen to the free track directly on our website.
