Sergei Diaghilev’s first composing experience: To the history of a romance
Abstract
The article highlights a little–studied fact of S. P. Diaghilev’s creative biography relating to the Perm period of his life — his writing of the romance «Do you remember, Maria» based on the poem of A. K. Tolstoy. For the first time, an analysis of an unpublished manuscript of the romance, which is currently the only surviving work of Diaghilev, is presented. The history of the creation of the composition, its figurative content and features of the musical language are considered. Musical examples are given. The author comes to the conclusion that professional education and composing skills played a significant role in Diaghilev’s subsequent activities.
