The Glinka Museum, or the Central Museum of Musical Culture, demonstrates huge collection instruments of all eras and peoples, the number of exhibits of which approaches a thousand. From historical rarities to modern sound extraction devices can be seen in this extensive collection. Main building museum association built specifically for this repository, the basis of which was made up of exhibits collected by enthusiasts from the Moscow Conservatory since its founding in 1866.

The lobby of the Glinka Museum greets visitors with a bust of the great composer, music and text quotes from the author of the Patriotic Song, which for some time was the Russian anthem. The notes of this work are accompanied by an unofficial text, which, together with the music, claimed the status state symbol back in tsarist times.

Here visitors get acquainted with announcements of events, leave outerwear, purchase entrance tickets to the permanent exhibition or thematic exhibitions. Main permanent exhibition located on the 2nd floor, temporary shows on a variety of topics are organized on the 3rd floor.

The lobby houses one of the notable exhibits, a recent acquisition of the Glinka Museum - a European orchestra. This mechanical instrument recreates the sound instrumental orchestra, such devices have been used in a number of European countries as musical accompaniment dance events.

Musical instruments located on the front side of a kind of orchestra produce their characteristic sounds, while accordions even demonstrate the movements of bellows. In Russia, such instruments were not widespread, which makes getting to know the orchestra more interesting for our lovers of musical wonders.

The second floor, which houses the main exhibition of the Glinka Museum, begins with a spacious hall where various exhibitions dedicated to musical culture are held. The main decoration of the room is a picturesque stained glass window, which is much larger in size from the outside of the building.

A massive staircase leads to the 3rd floor for visiting thematic temporary exhibitions. The composition of several bells recalls the role of church bells both in the life of the Russian people and in Glinka’s musical passions.

Also in the hall there is an organ made by the German master Ladegast, which was owned since 1868 by a descendant of the Khludov merchant family, the only surviving product of this master. Donated to the Moscow Conservatory and going through several more owners, the instrument was practically ruined.

The difficult restoration of the organ's interior was carried out in 1998 by Vilnius organ builders under the leadership of Guchas. Now this instrument is positioned as the oldest organ in Russia that has remained functional, and it is actually used during organ concerts organized by the Glinka Museum.

The permanent exhibition of the Glinka Museum, telling about the history of the origin and wide variety of musical instruments of the peoples of the world, is located in five halls on the second floor. Different colors The colors of the background of the display cases clearly separate them from each other. The division of the halls representing the most ancient known instruments is made on a geographical basis. A separate hall is allocated to European exhibits, divided by country; the remaining continents are divided inside another hall, with expositions of individual countries highlighted.

Further halls present instruments that differ in their belonging to wind or symphonic instruments, percussion and keyboards. Mechanical and electronic are highlighted musical instruments, devices for recording sound and playing it back from various media.

Vintage European musical instruments

How correct this choice of the principle of demonstrating musical instruments is is for professionals to understand, but the differences in the method of sound extraction seem more fundamental and obvious than national and state ones. After all, the shape of the pipe, no matter how great the differences, is still recognizable.

The drum or other percussion instruments cannot be confused with anything else. And finding out information about the place of origin of the exhibit, its attribution to a certain type of musical instrument and other details is still carried out by most visitors according to the explanatory inscriptions.

Russian folk musical instruments are collected in the Glinka Museum in a large assortment and variety of species. Here are the instruments of other peoples inhabiting national republics within the Russian Federation. Percussion instruments are widely represented - after all, they use the simplest but most varied method of producing sounds, from simple collisions of objects, for which even wooden spoons are used, to rattles of various designs and designs.

Naturally, our ancestors had horns made of cow horns and pipes made of wood. Craftsmen could extract sounds even from a saw blade and a scythe blade, but this is rather in the realm of musical eccentricity. The main stringed instrument of the Russian people is the gusli, used in Rus' since time immemorial. The balalaika is also a plucked string instrument; despite the simplicity of the device, virtuosos perform any melodies on them. Finally, the Russian accordion has been the main folk instrument for a long time

Stringed instruments different nations visually similar, but the progenitor of all stringed instruments, the Scythian harp, differs from its other relatives. It does not yet have a resonating body and neck, but common feature is a method of producing sounds by plucking strings with your fingers.

Plucked stringed instruments developed from the ancient lyre and harp to the lute, domra, mandolin, balalaika and guitar, which has retained the greatest popularity to this day. Harpsichords, pianos and grand pianos are also related to plucked string instruments that impact the strings, for which keys with a drive system were invented.

In the updated exhibition, the European section has been replenished with instruments of Belarusians and Ukrainians, Moldovans and the Baltic peoples. As before, instruments from the Mediterranean and Scandinavian countries, Central and of Eastern Europe. String instruments are displayed both plucked and bowed, with in different forms resonating body and bow structure. The simplest xylophones represent a group of percussion instruments.

There are several variations of bagpipes that are generally considered Scottish and Irish traditional instruments. This is true, but a similar device with air bellows and tubes with reed formation of sounds was also used by other peoples. These are the French musette, the Portuguese gaita, the duda and the dudeisac of Eastern Europe.

Musical instruments of eastern countries

Eastern countries were the first to invent bows for extracting sounds from stretched strings, historians consider musicians who lived in what is now Uzbekistan to be the pioneers. From here bows came to China and India, to Arab countries and from them to the Pyrenees. A shepherd's violin with three strings is a rabel, as well as a viol with a large number of strings. The latter were later replaced by violins and their larger relatives. Eastern string instruments often feature longer necks, although there are also designs with short ones.

The wind and percussion instruments of eastern peoples are very diverse. Bamboo trunks and other hollow plant stems were often used for wind instruments. Percussion instruments They were also made from tree trunks by hollowing out the core. Tanned animal skins were also used, stretched over frames made of various materials. In addition to stationary drums, hand drums such as tambourines, sometimes supplemented with bells, were popular.

The Japanese originality of national clothing is much more striking than the differences between Japanese musical instruments and all others. Japanese percussion instruments were usually placed on shaped stands; different materials were used for the bodies, even porcelain and other ceramics. Forms close to traditional for other peoples have strings and wind instruments, and it’s difficult to invent something different in these areas.

Eastern countries were used to make musical instruments various materials, from stone, wood and metal to silk, leather and even hollowed out pumpkin shells. Local craftsmen paid special attention to the external design of their products and their decorative appeal.

Paintings and carvings, traditional for every nation, also decorated musical instruments; it is by these elements that it is easiest to identify xylophones, drums and other instruments from the cultures of other countries.

Ancient violin workshop in the Glinka Museum

Creation of violins and others bowed instruments has been for a long time and is now a work of high complexity. Preparation of wood for various parts and components of tools required the knowledge of many technological operations– cutting and drilling, measurements and various methods of joining parts. The tools and devices necessary for these works are presented on the workbench violin maker in the recreated interior of a musical instrument workshop.

Violin makers could make a product of any size, from a violin and viola to a cello and a giant double bass. The violin could also be either classical sizes or half or even four times smaller.

In the room restored in the Glinka Museum, you can see all the stages of making instruments, from a wooden board to a finished violin or cello. You can examine all the components - the front and back soundboard and the shell connecting them, the neck with the underneck and the bridge for laying the strings.

Classical musical instruments of the Glinka Museum

Instruments used by modern musicians are presented to visitors of the Glinka Museum in several exhibitions. Components of symphony and brass orchestras, accessories of musical ensembles of various compositions are exhibited. Strings - bows and keyboards are adjacent to wind, wood and brass.

One of the museum corners contains genuine treasures - a concert harp and a collectible piano for home use. The perfectly balanced harp is stable on its small base, the resonator made of valuable wood is in harmony with the gilding of the column and neck, the shape of which is especially whimsical and attractive.

Showcases of bowed instruments are located on either side of the painting depicting greatest master playing the violin of the Genoese Niccolo Paganini. It was this violinist and composer who developed the technique of playing the violin, which has remained almost unchanged to this day.

In addition to the violin, Paganini also played the mandolin and guitar impeccably. Popular own compositions great performer, written for both violin and guitar. The world's most popular violin competition is held annually in Paganini's homeland, Genoa, Italy.

A showcase of classical wind instruments shows them in order of increasing size, with varieties displayed first wooden instruments, then - copper. This division has been preserved since ancient times and now does not correspond to reality - the wooden flutes, clarinets, oboes and bassoons included in the group of wooden ones can be made not only from wood. They can be plastic or metal, flutes can even be glass. Classified by musicologists as a wooden saxophone based on its operating principle, which had no ancient analogues, it was always made of metal.

On the other hand, copper instruments were made only from this metal only at the dawn of the development of metallurgy; now copper alloys or silver are used. Group brass instruments includes trumpet, horn, trombone and tuba. Instruments of this series have increasing sizes and complexity of the device. The trombone stands somewhat apart, having a movable slide for smooth changes in pitch.

Almost all wind instruments are included, in addition to brass bands, in symphony orchestras and ensembles. Dixielands and jazz bands they also use them.

The combination of stretched strings and percussion mechanisms controlled by a keyboard is characteristic of concert musical instruments, which include pianos, grand pianos and pianos. Some experts consider the grand piano and pianoforte to be varieties of pianos, differing in the horizontal or vertical arrangement of the strings.

Since the middle of the last century, only grand pianos and upright pianos have been produced, traditional pianos with smaller expressive capabilities due to the shorter length of the strings, they became history. Grand pianos are mainly used in concert activities as an instrument to accompany vocals or on its own, the piano – for home or chamber music playing.

The predecessors of the current ones are also on display at the Glinka Museum. keyboard instruments, both string and reed. String instruments include the percussion clavichord and plucked harpsichord, while reed harmoniums are related to harmonicas, button accordions and accordions. The first instrument with air bellows was the table harmonica of Kirchner, a Czech who worked in Russia. Unlike her and the ones we are used to hand tools, the bellows of the harmonium were powered by foot pedals.

From hurdy-gurdy to synthesizer

The last hall of the Glinka Museum displays several instruments not included in the ensembles and orchestras, ancient means of reproducing recorded sounds. Unique exhibits are presented here, quite rare in the collections of museums and private individuals. Among them, a barrel organ stands out, which many have heard about, but not all visitors have seen.

The design of the instrument is a small organ; air injection and operation of the sound mechanism are ensured by rotating the handle on the body. Organ organs were used by traveling musicians, and their sounds accompanied the performances of farcical circus performers.

The creation of the first sound recording and reproducing devices has a specific pioneer, he was the famous inventor Edison. The phonograph he designed in 1877 provided the recording and playback of sounds with a sharp needle on a roller wrapped in tin foil or wax-coated paper.

Recording on a flat round record was invented by Berliner; sound was reproduced by devices with an external horn - a gramophone. Devices with a horn hidden in the body were produced by the Pathé company, hence the name gramophone. Further progress in sound recording proceeded quickly: magnetic tapes, laser discs, high-quality digital sound recording.

The rare photoelectronic sound synthesizer ANS, named after the initials of the great composer Scriabin, was invented by the Russian Murzin back in the late 30s of the last century, and was manufactured only in 1963. Viewers of Tarkovsky's science fiction films and Gaidai's Diamond Arm may remember the unusual sounds of this device.

The composer created the music on it without writing notes or involving an orchestra. Synthesizers also developed rapidly; with the invention of transistors, they became compact and affordable. Nowadays synthesizers have everything musical groups a variety of genres.

Another notable exhibit of the Glinka Museum was the giant drum kit of the musician and composer, tireless experimenter R. Shafi. Manual control of such a complex complex of drums and drums is clearly impossible,

Shafi invented a unique control pedal, Zmey Gorynych, which, due to the number of tools it can handle, was included in the Guinness Book of Records. There are other interesting exhibits in this section, including personal instruments of famous musicians.

A visit to the Glinka Museum may seem unnecessary after hearing about it, but such an impression is extremely wrong. There is a lot of interesting things here that are difficult to describe in a quick review; there are new interesting forms of working with visitors. Visiting here is educational and interesting for people with any level of interest and understanding of music; after visiting, this interest will definitely increase.

Hermitage - best museum Europe. This is what millions of tourists from all over the world decided, leaving reviews on the international travel portal TripAdvisor. In total, 509 were analyzed cultural institutions peace. Natalya Letnikova tells what the “Russian ten” looks like.

Hermitage

3 million works. 20 kilometers of masterpieces. And the Hermitage began as a private collection of Catherine II of 225 paintings. Only a select few could see him, having received a ticket at the palace office and donned a tailcoat or uniform.

Experts have calculated that if you linger for just a minute at each exhibit in the Hermitage, it will take 8 years without sleep or rest to see everything.

Tretyakov Gallery

The Hermitage not only delights, but also inspires. It was after his visit that Pavel Tretyakov became interested in the idea of his own collection of paintings.

The Tretyakov Gallery is rich in paintings with history. The first “fairytale” subject of Russian painting is “Mermaids” by Ivan Kramskoy, written under the impression of the works of Gogol. And the Tretyakov Gallery’s largest painting, “The Appearance of Christ to the People” - graduate work Alexandra Ivanova, which he wrote for 20 years.

Armouries

It was created specifically for the prince brothers Ivan V and Peter Alekseevich, who were crowned kings together. And of course, a significant part of the museum-treasury is weapons. But also exclusively as a work of art. For example, the gun of Catherine II in the Rococo style.

Floating Museum

Submarine B-413. The place of fun is the city of Kaliningrad. For 20 years the submarine carried out combat service in the Northern Fleet. Visited Cuba and Guinea. And even in peacetime, the crew managed to receive the title “Excellent Ship.”

Retired since 2000. In Russia, by the way, four submarines have become museums, all of them are open to the public. But B-413 is the only one that has been preserved in its original form. Everything on the ship is the same: mechanisms, ammunition, weapons. And museum visitors temporarily become submariners. The crew goes on a virtual scuba dive, conducts a torpedo attack, and copes with an accident in the compartment.

Russian Museum

The world's largest collection of Russian art is the Russian Museum, created by imperial decree at the end of the 19th century. The exhibition, located in 5 palaces of St. Petersburg, includes paintings whose names have long become household names: “The Last Day of Pompeii”, “Barge Haulers on the Volga”, “The Ninth Wave”.

One of the most high-status exhibits is the Orlov diamond, which adorns the scepter of Catherine the Great, purchased for her by Count Orlov, the largest in the Diamond Fund and one of the most expensive in the world. And a diamond was found in India, where it is believed to have been the eye of Buddha.

Museum of Fine Arts named after A. S. Pushkin

The most European in Russia is the A. S. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. In the center of Moscow, in a building reminiscent of an ancient temple, every room is from that era. Italian and Greek “courtyards”, a six-thousand-strong collection of original exhibits Ancient Egypt, collected by the Russian scientist Vladimir Golenishchev during his travels and excavations. The famous treasure of Troy, discovered by Heinrich Schliemann, is also kept in Pushkinsky. The German archaeologist read Homer's Iliad as a child and subsequently found a city covered in legends.
