Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, né le 22 septembre 1875 à Senoji Varėna (district de Varėna, sud de la Lituanie) et mort le le 10 avril 1911 à Pustelnik (arrondissement de Marki près de Varsovie, en Pologne), est un compositeur et peintre lituanien. Né la même année que Maurice Ravel, Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis étudie entre 1894 et 1899 en classes de piano et de composition au Conservatoire de Varsovie. À partir de 1901, il poursuit sa formation en classe de composition avec Carl Reinecke au Conservatoire de Leipzig (Allemagne), ville où il enrichit sa culture générale (qui sera très universelle puisqu'il s'intéressa également, jusqu'à la fin de sa vie, à l'astrologie, la chimie, l'histoire, la philosophie...). Puis il revient à Varsovie et y intègre en 1904 l'École des Beaux-Arts, désirant également se consacrer à la peinture. Suivent plusieurs années - agrémentées de voyages en Allemagne et en Autriche durant lesquels il parfait son éducation artistique - où il mène conjointement une double carrière de compositeur et de peintre (avant que cette dernière ne prenne plutôt le dessus). Il dirige un temps un chœur lituanien établi à Varsovie et pour lequel il écrit plusieurs œuvres chorales a cappella (notamment des harmonisations de chants populaires). En 1907, il s'installe à Vilnius, la capitale de la Lituanie, dont il sera un des chantres de l'identité nationale. En 1908, il est de passage à Saint-Pétersbourg (Russie) où il rencontre notamment Serge Diaghilev et Vassily Kandinsky. Mais il connaît des diffic...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Chapters: César Cui, Vladimir Shukhov, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, Eduard Totleben, Georg Wilhelm de Gennin, Matus Bisnovat, Ivan Grave, Vladimir Simonov, Mikhail Vorobyev. Excerpt:Gannibal speaking with Alexander Suvorov . Major-General Abram Petrovich Gannibal , also Hannibal or Ganibal or Ibrahim Hannibal or Abram Petrov , (1696 14 May 1781) was brought to Russia as a gift for Peter the Great and became major-general , military engineer and governor of Reval . He is perhaps best known today as the great-grandfather of Alexander Pushkin , who wrote an unfinished novel about him, Peter the Great's Negro . Early life His origins are uncertain. Early writings about Gannibal suggest he was born in 1696 in a village called "Lagon," in present day Eritrea, located "on the northern side of the Mareb River ..." (which serves as much of the modern border between Ethiopia and Eritrea). On an 1810 map of Henry Salt Logo appears (the area corresponds to today's region Loggo Sarda, which had its own rulers, and which is inhabited by Christian Tigrinnya and Muslim Saho; others claim it to correspond to nearby Loggo Chewa further west in Eritrea) As the other sons were brought to their father with their hands trussed up with a rope, he enjoyed freedom of the youngest son swimming in his father's fountains" (Pushkin's notes to Eugene Onegin ). The research (1996) of Dieudonné Gnammankou suggests he may actually have been from what is now the Sultanate of Logone-Birni on the Logone River , in Cameroon , south of Lake Chad . In an official document that Gannibal submitted in 1742 to Empress Elizabeth , while petitioning for the rank of nobility and a coat of arms , he asked for the right to use a family crest emblazoned with an elephant and the mysterious word "FVMMO" (means homeland in Kotoko ).

Pëtr Il'ich Chaikovskiy IPA: ); often Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky in English; May 7, 1840 November 6, 1893 ) was a Russian composer of the Romantic era. His wide ranging output includes symphonies, operas, ballets, instrumental and chamber music and songs. He wrote some of the most popular concert and theatrical music in the classical repertoire, including the ballets Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker, the 1812 Overture, his First Piano Concerto, his last three numbered symphonies, and the opera Eugene Onegin. Born into a middle-class family, Tchaikovsky was educated for a career as a civil servant, despite his obvious musical precocity. He pursued a musical career against the wishes of his family, entering the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in 1862 and graduating in 1865. This formal, Western-oriented training set him apart from the contemporary nationalistic movement embodied by the influential group of young Russian composers known as The Five, with whom Tchaikovsky's professional relationship was mixed. Although he enjoyed many popular successes, Tchaikovsky was never emotionally secure, and his life was punctuated by personal crises and periods of depression. Contributory factors were his suppressed homosexuality and fear of exposure, his disastrous marriage, and the sudden c...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=24503 ... Read more

Excerpt:Operas by César Cui Angelo ( in Cyrillic ; And elo in transliteration) is an opera in four acts by César Cui , composed during 1871-1875, with a libretto by Viktor Burenin based on Victor Hugo 's prose play, Angelo, tyran de Padoue . This same play formed the basis of Saverio Mercadante 's Il giuramento of 1837, Amilcare Ponchielli 's La Gioconda , which premiered in the same year as Cui's opera (1876), and Alfred Bruneau 's Angelo, tyran de Padoue of 1928. Performance history Angelo was premiered on 1 February 1876 in Saint Petersburg at the Mariinsky Theatre . The conductor was Eduard Nápravník . Apparently it did not survive that particular season, and was removed from the repertory. A new production of Angelo was staged twenty-five years after the original premiere in 1901 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, with Feodor Chaliapin in the role of Galeofa. The Mariinsky staged Angelo again in 1910. Roles Setting: Padua , 1549. Synopsis Act 1 In Tisbe's illuminated garden, masked guests entertain themselves. After they disperse, Rodolfo and the conspirators in the grotto complain about Angelo. The guests come back. Galeofa knows who Rodolfo is, and will help him to meet Catarina, his paramour, that night. Tisbe enters. She is in love with Rodolfo, and would kill any rival for his love. In an aside, he admits to loving only Catarina, and leaves. Galeofa reappears, and gives Tisbe a bottle of poison and a bottle of sleeping potion. He tells her that Rodolfo will be meeting another woman that... ... Read more
