Organizing time: direct students' attention to the lesson. A fragment of “Ballad” playsg – moll" Greetings!

State the topic and purpose of the lesson.

Teacher: Guys, what composer do you think you walked into class listening to?

Students: To the music of the Polish composer F. Chopin.

Teacher: Today in the lesson we will continue our acquaintance with the musical work of this composer. The topic of our lesson is called: “The Mighty Kingdom of F. Chopin.” Its goal is to penetrate into the poetic musical language and content of the works of this brilliant Polish composer.

Posting biographical information.

Teacher: Take a closer look at the portrait of this man. What do you think he was like in life?

Students: Good, he has a thoughtful look. I think he was an intelligent, sensitive man.

Teacher: One cannot help but be surprised at the depth and softness that pervades the composer’s face and his aristocratic hands. He came from a wonderful noble family and was educated in Warsaw. Knowing

the culture and customs of folk Poland, deeply felt the intonations of the Masurians and Kujawiaks, the Obereks and Polonaises, who so often delighted his heart in dear Szafarna, a suburb of Warsaw.

Teacher: Guys, let us now remember the Polish folk song “Lark”, its sound character, sound science, mode, content. Listen Who is this song about?

Listening to the song – “Lark” (Polish folk song).

Students: This song is about native nature. It sings about a lark, a bird of meadows, fields, a plowman, a cornfield.

Teacher: How is the song performed?

Students: Slow tempo, drawn-out, smooth, lyrical, a little sad.

Teacher: Words words! But how to express the charm of Chopin's most poetic waltzes, full of amazing dreaminess, the subtlest expressiveness of those sweet dreams and tender feelings characteristic of Chopin - a romantic who has an amazing ability to see only the best in human life.

Listening – “Waltz in A minor” and “Waltz in E flat major” by Chopin. Two waltzes sound.

Teacher: Tell me, what is more here, aristocratic sophistication or fiery animation?

Students: Here different feelings are expressed and you can imagine different experiences and pictures of nature.

The first waltz is subtle and poetic, and the second is very – very shiny. One can imagine that they are dancing to the music of one waltz in a salon, and the waltz written in a minor key is very lyrical.

Teacher: Yes, Chopin was always different. No wonder Svyatoslav Richter wrote: “Masculine, feminine, mysterious, devilish, incomprehensible, tragic Chopin.”

Do all composers quickly become famous?

Students: No, I know that Bach's life was very difficult and real recognition came to him after his death.

Teacher: But F. Chopin was dearly loved during his lifetime. Already his first works were received enthusiastically. The great contemporary, romantic Schumann said: “If a contemporary like Mozart were born in our time, he would write concertos more like Chopin’s than Mozart’s.”

Listening – “Waltz in C sharp minor” and “Waltz in E major” by F. Chopin.

Teacher: What does it mean to write like Chopin, what is the uniqueness of this genius, who, in the words of Baratynsky, is “inimitable and great in his own greatness”?

Students: Write dreamily, subtly, poetically. Write as if everything is fine in life, there is a lot of beauty around you that you need to be able to see and hear.

Teacher: I have always thought that the most amazing property of music is to poeticize reality, thoughts, feelings, experiences of a person, his noble motives. But there is another facet of Fryderyk Chopin's work: he introduced the Beethovenian spirit into the concert hall.

Chopin's music - These are cannons covered with flowers. Acutely angry, full of vital tension and emotional intensity, the pages of his ballads and sonatas can be considered as a lively and reverent response to the events of Polish reality in the 30s. He was deeply shocked by the slavery of his homeland. In this sense, his “Ballad in G Minor” is highly characteristic.

Listening to the coda of “Ballads” g – moll ».

Teacher: Guys, tell me, what kind of music is this? What did you hear in it?

Students: This music is courageous, angry, full of vitality and struggle. The music is revolutionary, fast-paced, calling for struggle.

Teacher: It reflected the feelings of a Pole - an aristocrat and a revolutionary - a romantic. Fryderyk Chopin himself was forced to leave and live abroad, far from his beloved homeland, Poland, after the national liberation uprising in which he participated was defeated.

Lesson summary.

Teacher: Guys, tell me, what composer’s music was played in our lesson today? What “eternal” problems does F. Chopin’s music address?

Evaluation of the work of the class and individual students.

A musical work by F. Chopin is played.

(Spring Waltz)

There are few composers whose work is considered one of the greatest treasures of world art and at the same time accessible to the widest circles of listeners and enjoys worldwide popularity. The brilliant Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin occupies an exceptional place even among these most fortunate composers in many respects. Other major composers of the past - Mozart, Beethoven, Glinka, Tchaikovsky - showed themselves in different genres of music, wrote works of large scale - symphonies, operas. Chopin stands on a par with these geniuses, despite the fact that he composed almost exclusively for the piano, and mostly works of small volume - miniatures. He, like no one else, knew how to say a lot in a little, to express great content in forms of a modest scale, and from the piano he extracted such a wealth of colors that it seemed to replace an entire orchestra.

Fryderyk Chopin was born on February 22, 1810 near Warsaw in the town of Zhelazova Wola. Chopin's mother was Polish, his father was French. The family lived on the estate of Count Skarbek, where the father served as a home teacher. Soon after the birth of his son, Nikolai Chopin received a position as a home teacher at the Warsaw Lyceum, and the whole family moved to the capital. Little Fryderyk grew up surrounded by music. His father played the violin and flute, his mother played the piano and sang. The boy's musical talent manifested itself very early. Already at the age of five, Chopin confidently performed pieces he had learned under the guidance of his older sister Ludwika. Soon, the famous Czech musician Wojciech Zivny, famous in Warsaw, became his teacher; it was he who instilled in his student a love of the music of the classics, especially J. S. Bach. The little pianist's first performance took place in Warsaw when he was seven years old. The concert was a success, and the whole of Warsaw soon learned Chopin's name. At the same time, one of his first works was published - a polonaise for piano in G minor. The boy's performing talent developed so quickly that by the age of twelve, Chopin was on par with the best Polish pianists. Chopin was distinguished by physical fragility and refined aristocracy, self-esteem and self-control. He was restrained, ironic, impeccably mannered and always aroused admiration among his contemporaries for his exquisite simplicity and nobility. Zhivyny himself refused to study with the young virtuoso, declaring that he could teach him nothing more.

The boy's musical studies did not come at the expense of his general education. Chopin was distinguished, despite his poor health, by his great work ethic. Already as a child, Fryderyk was fluent in German and French, was interested in the history of Poland, and read a lot of fiction. He drew well, and was especially good at caricatures. His talent for mimicry was so brilliant that he could have become a stage actor. He attended opera performances with great interest. The performance of the famous violinist Niccolo Paganini made an indelible impression on the impressionable young man. However, the most profound impressions of Chopin's childhood and youth were associated with Polish folk music. Chopin listened to it with enthusiasm during country walks, on the estates of his lyceum comrades. These impressions became one of the most important foundations of his work. For the formation of Chopin as an artist, the entire social and cultural atmosphere of Warsaw in the 20s of the 19th century was of great importance - the era when, after the shocks of the Napoleonic wars, Poland was preparing to resume the struggle for independence.

In 1826, after graduating from the Lyceum, Chopin entered the Warsaw Higher Music School. Here his classes were led by the experienced teacher and composer Jozef Elsner. Among his notes there is a description given to the young musician: “Amazing abilities. Musical genius." By this time, Chopin had already been recognized as the best pianist in Poland. His talent as a composer also reached maturity. This is evidenced by two concertos for piano and orchestra, composed in 1829 - 1830. These concertos are still heard today and are favorite works of pianists from all over the world.

Upon graduation from the Higher Music School (1829). Chopin, already an established artist, made a trip to Vienna, one of the largest musical centers of that time. His concerts were a huge success. After returning to Warsaw, it became obvious that the further development of his talent required the atmosphere of the largest European capitals and a long concert tour. Chopin could not decide to take this step for a long time. He was tormented by heavy forebodings. It seemed to him that he was leaving his homeland forever. Finally, in the autumn of 1830, Chopin left Warsaw. Friends gave him a silver cup filled with Polish soil as a farewell gift. Chopin was twenty years old. The happy youthful time, full of searches, hopes, successes, is over. Chopin's premonitions did not deceive him. He parted with his homeland forever.

Remembering the good reception he received in Vienna, Chopin decided to begin his concerts there. But, despite all his efforts, he was never able to give an independent concert, and publishers agreed to publish his works only for free. Unexpectedly, alarming news came from home. An uprising against the Russian autocracy, organized by Polish patriots, began in Warsaw. Chopin decided to interrupt his concert trip and return to Poland, but his family and friends stopped him from taking this step. With bitterness, the composer submitted and headed to Paris. From that moment on, he was haunted by anxious thoughts about the fate of his homeland and loved ones. On the way, Chopin was overtaken by the news of the defeat of the uprising. The strong shock from this news served as an impetus for the creation of brilliant tragic works, primarily the etude in C minor (Op. 10) - the so-called “revolutionary”. The prelude in D minor, created at the same time and later included in the notebook of preludes under No. 24, is also full of sublimely tragic pathos.

In the autumn of 1831, Chopin arrived in Paris, where he lived until the end of his life. But France did not become the composer’s second homeland. Both in his affections and in his work, Chopin remains a Pole. The theme of love for the people and homeland, so characteristic of romanticism, can be traced throughout all his works. Chopin is a romantic composer, whose music was influenced by Polish musical culture and the creative work of predecessor composers. Various types of Polish rural and urban dances are reflected in fiery mazurkas, solemn polonaises, brilliant, expressive waltzes, brilliant preludes and nocturnes - examples of musical lyricism.

Chopin's Mazurkas are dance pieces that combine the features of three ancient folk dances: the Masurian, Kujawiak and Oberek, common in various regions of Poland. The Mazurka was especially near and dear to the composer, since his youth was spent in Kujawy and Mazovia, the birthplace of this dance. Such lyrical melodies include the Mazurka in A minor (Op. 68 No. 2). The sad, thoughtful melody smoothly turns into a playful village dance. And how much greatness and jubilation is heard from the first notes of the Polonaise in A major. After all, it is also based on the Polish national dance, which over time received the French name “polonaise”. Once upon a time, the polonaise was a festive ceremonial procession. In the old days, only knight warriors took part in it. Having emerged among the people, the polonaise finally took shape in the circles of the Polish nobility and became firmly established in ballroom music. In the 19th century, the ball opened, as a rule, with a polonaise. The first pair was the host with the most respected guest. The works of a dance nature also include Chopin's waltzes. Among Chopin's seventeen waltzes, the C-sharp minor waltz is very popular. Gentle and poetic at the beginning, it amazes with its brilliance and virtuosity in the second theme, creating the impression of whirling movement, lightness, and flight.

But let's return to Paris. At that time, it was the center of all world culture and art. Many outstanding writers, artists, and pianists lived and worked there. It is enough to name the names of Hugo, Heine, Berlioz, Liszt, Bellini. Chopin “conquered” Paris first as a pianist. He immediately amazed the audience with his original and unusual performance; according to the recollections of his contemporaries, it was surprisingly spiritual, poetic and elegant. Chopin the performer was inseparable from Chopin the composer. And spoiled Paris, which was difficult to surprise with virtuosity, bowed to the charm of Slavic melodies and incomparable poetry that exuded the sounds of his music. According to Liszt, Chopin’s music and playing evoked “a feeling of admiration, awe, timidity that seizes the heart near supernatural beings, near those whom you cannot decipher, understand, embrace.” When performing in concerts, Chopin mostly performed his own compositions: concertos for piano and orchestra, mazurkas, nocturnes, etudes, variations on a theme from Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni. It was about these variations that the outstanding German composer and critic Robert Schumann wrote: “Hats off, gentlemen, before you is a genius.” Chopin's music, as well as his concert performances, aroused universal admiration. Only music publishers waited. They did not refuse to publish Chopin, but, as in Vienna, for free. Therefore, the first editions did not bring income to Chopin. He was forced to give music lessons, sometimes for 5-6 hours a day. This work provided him, but took a lot of energy. As Chopin's fame grows, his circle of acquaintances expands. Among his friends are the pianist Liszt, the German poet Heine, the French composer Berlioz, and the artist Delacroix. But no matter how interesting his new friends were, for the sake of a guest from Poland he put all his affairs aside and could spend hours listening to stories about his homeland. Meetings with Polish friends were especially dear to the composer, and because Chopin did not have his own family, his hope of marrying Maria Wodzinska, the daughter of one of the rich Polish nobles, did not come true. Maria's parents did not want to see their daughter married to a musician, albeit a world-famous one, who earned his living by his work. For many years, the famous French writer Aurora Dudevant, who appeared in print under the pseudonym Georges Sand, became his close friend. Over the years, Chopin gave concerts less and less, limiting himself to performing with a small circle of friends. He directed all his attention to creativity. His sonatas, scherzos, nocturnes, preludes, and ballads appear. Along with light, lyrical plays, works full of dramatic depth, and often tragedy, are increasingly coming from his pen. In this regard, it is impossible not to mention four ballads of Chopin. They are a new and bold word in the history of musical art. The genre definition of ballad entered music from folk poetry and fiction. At the beginning of the 19th century, vocal ballads became widespread (for example, the famous ballad of F. Schubert “The Forest King”). Chopin was the first to introduce the ballad genre into instrumental music. Epico - a dramatic tone links Chopin's ballads with Schubert's ballads and other vocal ballads. But Chopin's ballads are large plays, with a broad, symphonic type of development of musical images. These works are rightly considered the direct predecessors of the genre of symphonic poems. And the beautiful lines of Boris Pasternak dedicated to Chopin come to mind; they subtly and accurately convey the image of the majestic doom, so characteristic of Chopin’s melodies:

A blow, another, a passage -

The balls have a milky halo

Chopin's funeral phrase

Floats up like a sick eagle.

But, despite all the hardships, Chopin’s life in Paris was, if not happy, then favorable for creativity. His talent has reached its peak, the publication of works no longer encounters obstacles, taking lessons from him is considered a great honor, and hearing him play is a rare happiness, available only to a select few.

The last years of the composer's life were sad. His father died, a quarrel and break with George Sand left him completely alone. Chopin was never able to recover from these brutal blows. The lung disease that Chopin had suffered from a young age worsened. The composer has written almost nothing for the last two years. To improve his financial situation, he goes to London at the invitation of English friends. Having gathered his last strength, sick, he gives concerts and lessons there. The enthusiastic reception initially pleases him and instills him with cheerfulness. But the damp climate of England quickly had its destructive effect. Chopin gave his last concert in London, which turned out to be the last in his life, in favor of Polish emigrants. On the advice of doctors, he quickly returns to Paris. The composer's last work was the Mazurka in F minor (Op. 68 No. 4). At his request, his sister Ludwika arrived from Poland, in whose arms he died. The composer's funeral was solemn. The best artists of Paris performed the Requiem of their beloved Mozart. Friends brought a cup with his native Polish soil to his grave. Chopin was buried in Paris, and his heart, as he bequeathed, was sent to Warsaw, where it is still carefully preserved in the Church of the Holy Cross.

During his short life, Chopin created over 200 works. With few exceptions, these are all piano pieces, mostly of small volume, and about half of them are written in dance form, which is associated with the characteristics of folk music. He wrote only a few works for other instruments: a trio for piano, violin and cello, a polonaise op. 3 and duet for piano and cello, a number of songs for voice. But within the confines of his piano work alone, Chopin reached the heights of artistic versatility that other composers achieved by working on many types of instrumental music in different areas of musical art.

Chopin created his own piano style, which combines virtuosity and subtle, deep lyricism. He created new types, a new color of piano sound, a new pedal technique.

Chopin is the greatest master of melody. Its melodic origins are different. His melodies combine the features of national Polish songwriting and the classics of Italian Belsant. The melodies have melodiousness, declamatory quality, and complex instrumental development. And I remember the words of B. Pasternak that “the main means of expression, the language in which Chopin expressed everything he wanted to say, was his melody, the most genuine and powerful of all that we know.”

Chopin was highly valued and loved by all Russian composers - Glinka, Rimsky - Korsakov, Balakirev, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov. It should be noted that the first complete edition of Chopin's works was published in Russia (in 1861). In Russian musical, and especially concert life, Chopin's music, starting from the 30s of the 19th century, occupied a large place. A whole galaxy of pianists, led by A. Rubinstein and M. Balakirev, became famous for performing Chopin's works, laying down the traditions of the Russian style. And in our time, Chopin’s music is popular among performers and listeners. After all, Chopin’s work is a world of extraordinary beauty. Listening to it, you forget that you are listening to just one instrument, the piano. Limitless spaces open before you, full of secrets and adventures. And I really want this new, newly discovered world to never leave you.

A bouquet of flowers, passions incandescent,

I hear, I feel, I see

(as in the reflections of the mirrors of the salons of old Paris - a Slavic look, a shadow of illness) in His mazurkas there is ice and fire,

Lazenok dear May day,

The hot gray stone of Mallorca, and the stone that I carried in my soul, and the cough (every day longer), and the memory of the heart, where I kept the melodies of half-forgotten Poland,

In the mazurkas, it seems, her sadness reigns, and her appearance is gentle, but suddenly - and Poland’s rebellious spirit will sound in a three-beat dance.

In a bouquet of flowers passions are incandescent,

He turned around without any rules.

He left his Genius to the world,

And he bequeathed his heart to Poland.

1. All Chopin’s works are filled with emotions, experiences, and carry deep meaning.

2. Listening to Chopin’s works, you forget that there is only one instrument, the piano. It replaces a whole orchestra.

3. Chopin's music became international, it conquered all of Europe.

4. In Chopin’s life there were many challenges, which the core laid in childhood helped him cope with.

5. Chopin created his own unique piano style, new types and colors of piano sounds, and a new pedal technique.

6. All of Chopin’s work is permeated with great love for the Motherland.

7. Chopin is the greatest master of melody.

Slide No. 7(small pieces): preludes, nocturnes, waltzes, polonaises, mazurkas, sonatas. Every play and dance is a state of mind, even while living in Paris, he wrote Polish music. Almost all the dances written by F. Chopin were Polish, and the Mazurka was his favorite.

Of course, in the modern world, listeners of classical music begin to understand the musical language of F. Chopin. As a sign of love and respect for the work of F. Chopin, St. Petersburg composer Sergei Savenkov uses the melody of the nocturne and writes an amazing song based on the poems of Tatyana Tarasova. The song is popular among children's groups and is often heard on the radio. Slide No. 8

Ruler of piano scenes
Poet of folk melody -
All this is Frederic Chopin.

Listening to the curly music,
I hear the seething splash of waves,
And the splashes of sunny May,
And October glass shine,

And the call of the Fatherland is stern,
And there is room for revolution.
Here the pianist frowned,
Entering “B Flat Minor.”

Ringing a piano chord,
A foam wave plays.
An influx of witchcraft and strange
She absorbs the room into herself.

Spreading my shoulders like wings,
Like an angel, weightless and pure,
The whole piano evening soars
Above the hall is a fragile pianist. Vladimir Efremovich Shostak

Slide No. 28 Here in the hall is Chopin himself,

And sweet is the captivity of songs

And is sensitive to the ear

Music long sound.

The piano is like a white spirit

The melody floats

That joy flows into the heart,

It glows with sadness.

The melody floats...

And a light waltz blooms -

Sometimes he cries, sometimes he laughs,

It will ascend to the sky,

It will echo -

Love memory

And the breath of genius.

Chopin's fate was closely intertwined with the fate of his homeland. Recognized as the best pianist in Poland, the composer was supposed to go to Europe for concerts. He sat down: “... I don’t have the strength to set the day of departure; It seems to me that I am leaving to die - and how bitter it must be to die in a foreign land, not in the place where I lived.”

In 1830 - 1831, a national liberation uprising against the power of the Russian Empire began in Poland, Chopin wrote... I curse the hour of my departure... I cannot do as I want... In the living rooms I pretend to be calm, and when I return, I rage on the piano...

Deep thoughts about yourself and your no longer existing Fatherland, your joys and despairs, your delights and dreams, moments of happiness and oppressive sorrow, sunny scenes of love, only occasionally interrupted by quiet and calm pictures of nature - this is where the region and the mighty kingdom of Chopin is, here where he performs the great secrets of art under the name of sonatas, preludes, mazurkas, polonaises, scherzos, etudes...”, wrote V. Stasov.

II. Updating.

Teacher: Today in class we will go to the wonderful world of great geniuses.

III. Subject message.

Teacher: Today in class we continue our acquaintance with the work of the magnificent Polish composer Frederic Chopin.

This year, February 22nd would have been the 206th anniversary of the birth of this great piano genius. Here are the lines the poet Lev Ozerov wrote about the composer:

Students:

Does the waltz glide, does the mazurka rejoice,

Whether the polonaise reigns, I’m right there.

Living rooms in Warsaw, St. Petersburg,

Paris, Vienna, Prague - my route.

And no matter where I was, no matter how worried I was,

Whatever lot the earthly one chooses -

Does the polonaise reign, does the waltz glide

If the mazurka rejoices, you are with me.

With me you are in a sedate movement.

Music flickers, light, dark.

And this is how Chopin intended it,

It doesn't matter whether it was yesterday or long ago.

IV. Setting goals

Teacher: In what century did the great genius Chopin live?

Children: 19th century.

Teacher: Chopin lived and worked in the 19th century. He lived for 39 years. During his short life, he created a large number of piano works that live in our hearts to this day. His works are alive, they make us happy and make us feel inspired, positive, and in a good mood.

Teacher: An example was Waltz No. 7, performed at the beginning of the lesson, performed by pianist Denis Matsuev. And in the choreographic repertoire of the Shumilov School of Arts there is a dance “Waltz with Fans” to this beautiful melody.

Teacher: Chopin composed music that evokes not only positive emotions, but also sad and sorrowful ones.

And when a person is seen off on his last journey, the sounds of Chopin’s famous Funeral March from Sonata No. 2 are heard.

Teacher: Let's listen.

Teacher: What emotions did this Funeral March by Chopin evoke in you?

Children: Children's answers.

Teacher: Look closely at the portrait of this man. What do you think he was like in life?

Children: Good, he has a thoughtful look. I think he was an intelligent, sensitive man.

V. Work on the topic.

(view slides to the music of Nocturne No. 1)

Teacher: Open the Internet and find a biography of Chopin. What can you tell us about the work of Frederic Chopin?

Children: The work of F. Chopin is a huge world of extraordinary beauty. His wonderful, wonderful music, written by a great composer and musician. Sincerity of feelings is what matters!

Teacher: One cannot help but be surprised at the depth and softness with which the composer’s face is imbued. He came from a wonderful noble family and was educated in Warsaw. Knowing the culture and customs of folk Poland, he deeply felt the intonations of Masurians, amulets and polonaises, which so often delighted his heart in dear Szafarna - a suburb of Warsaw.

Teacher: At what age did Chopin leave Poland?

Children: children's answers

Teacher: At the age of 20, the composer had to leave Poland forever after the national liberation uprising in which he participated was defeated. He lived in Vienna for a short time, after which he moved to Paris. In the French capital, a circle of friends and like-minded people gathered around Chopin, among whom were his closest friend the composer F. Liszt, the artist E. Delacroix, and the writer O. Balzac. Chopin developed a particularly close relationship with the writer Aurora Dudevant, known under the pseudonym Georges Sand. For eight years she was the composer's friend.

Teacher: What greater shock did Chopin experience in his life?

Children: children's answers

Teacher: The end of the musician’s life was overshadowed by lung disease and consumption, but the cause of death was supposed to be cardiac arrest; the composer was worried about the breakdown of his relationship with George Sand.

Teacher: In what country did Chopin die?

Teacher: He is buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery. In his will, Chopin asked to take his heart to his homeland, Poland, which was done. The composer's heart was transported to Warsaw and placed in one of the columns of the Church of the Holy Cross under a memorial plaque with the inscription:

“Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

Teacher: Very often people of art, composers, musicians, poets, artists were forced to leave their homeland for various reasons.

But their work is always imbued with love for the Motherland, folk motifs and their own experiences. Music helped to survive in difficult life situations.

Teacher: Who is familiar with the work of pianist Vladislav Shpilman?

Children: children's answers

Teacher: Polish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman was born in Poland in 1911, into a Jewish family. Graduated from the Frederic Chopin University. After the Nazis came to power, he worked in Poland at Warsaw radio, composing symphonic music and film scores. After Germany occupied Poland in 1939 (September 23, Szpilman played his last live concert on the radio, after which Polish radio stopped working), the Szpilman family found themselves in the Warsaw ghetto. While loading onto the train, one of the Jewish policemen (he knew the Shpilmans) pushed Vladislav out of the crowd, separating him from his family. He never saw his parents, sisters and brother again. Unable to bear it, he soon escaped from the ghetto and wandered among his acquaintances on Polish Radio. He miraculously escaped death several times and almost died from malnutrition.

Teacher: What can you add about the work of V. Shpilman?

Children: children's answers

Teacher: After the end of the war, he again worked on the radio. He wrote memoirs based on his memories of his experiences during the war. They were published under the title "The Death of the City." This book was made into a film in 2002, directed by Roman Polanski (Jewish by birth, born in Paris, raised in Poland), “The Pianist,” starring Adrien Brody, who became the youngest winner of the Oscar for Best Actor. The film won 3 Oscars in total. In 1998, a reissue of the memoirs was published - “The Pianist: The Extraordinary Story of One Man’s Survival in Warsaw 1939-1945.” The publication has been translated into 38 languages.

(viewing an excerpt from the film “The Pianist”)

Teacher: What unites F. Chopin and V. Szpilman?

Students: Love for the Motherland.

Teacher: Chopin's music is always different. From a light waltz and a solemn polonaise to a thoughtful nocturne. It is often used in arrangements by modern performers.

Teacher: The melody is an exact repetition of Waltz No. 7.

Teacher: No wonder Svyatoslav Richter wrote: “Masculine, feminine, mysterious, devilish, incomprehensible, tragic Chopin.” But his love for his homeland remains unchanged. And for us, the Motherland is Russia.

What kind of music occupied a leading place in the work of F. Chopin?

Here in the hall is Chopin himself,

And sweet is the captivity of songs

And is sensitive to the ear

Music long sound.

The piano is like a white spirit

The melody floats

That joy flows into the heart,

It glows with sadness.

The melody floats...

And a light waltz blooms -

Sometimes he cries, sometimes he laughs,

It will ascend to the sky,

It will echo -

Love memory

SELF-ESTEEM
