Basket with fir cones Paustovsky's main idea. Music in the story


"Basket with fir cones": Main characters, the main idea, what to write?

    The short story Basket with Fir Cones was written by Konstantin Paustovsky.

    Main characters:

    Dagny Pedersen, forester's daughter

    Edvard Grieg, composer

    Magda, Aunt Dagny

    Nils, Dagny's uncle.

    the main idea This story is that you should always believe in a miracle and it will definitely happen and then meaning will appear in your life, just as it appeared in the life of the girl Dagny when she heard Grieg’s music dedicated to herself.

    Summary:

    In the forest old composer Grieg met the forester's daughter Dagny, who was 8 years old, and helped her bring a basket of fir cones. Grig liked the girl so much that he promised to give her a gift, not now, but in 10 years, when Dagny turns 18.

    Grieg left and spent several months writing the promised music.

    10 years passed, Dagny graduated from school and went to Christiania, to her uncle and aunt. Aunt constantly took Dagny to the theaters, and Dagny was very worried about what she had taken away. One day Aunt Magda decided to take Dagny to a concert and there the girl suddenly heard her name. Back rows asked to repeat it and she was convinced that this was exactly the gift that was promised to her an old man ten years ago.

    The magical music reminded Dagny of her native forest and herself, a little girl. She realized that life is worth living for the sake of beauty and that she loves this life.

    An unexpected meeting in the forest between the composer Grieg and the Norwegian girl Dagny, who was collecting fir cones, ended with an agreement - Grieg will give it to the girl for her 18th birthday. unusual gift. When the girl asked why she had to wait so long, the composer replied that the gift would be unusual and such gifts were not given to children. He decided to write a musical composition for her.

    Bergen. House of the composer Grieg. Memories of his meeting with Dagny are a source of inspiration for the composer. The girl becomes a muse for him, a guide to the world of dreams, to that world of youth gone forever, when he was young and happy:

    Many years later. Dagny has become slim beautiful girl, her father sent her to his sister, a theater dressmaker. Dagny now has the opportunity to visit theatrical performances. One day she went to the first concert in her life symphonic music. During the concert, the compere suddenly announced:

    While the music was playing, Dagny was overwhelmed with feelings: she remembered her home, the forest, the mountains, the sea... For a long time then she wandered through the deserted streets until she came out completely devastated to the seashore and whispered:

    Uncle Nils, who was watching the girl, uttered a phrase, which, in my opinion, is the main idea of ​​this story:

    A story called Basket with Fir Cones was written by Konstantin Paustovsky. The main characters of the story are: Dagny Pedersen ( main character, daughter of forester Hagerup Pedersen), Edvard Grieg (composer), Magda (Aunt Dagny), Nils (Uncle Dagny, Magda's husband). Fairy-tale setting, little girl Dagny walks through an unusual beautiful forest and meets the composer Edward. They have a good-natured conversation, and in the end the composer Edward has only good impressions from communicating with an unfamiliar girl. Further, in a fit of emotion, composer Edward dedicates a beautiful musical composition. Of course, the little girl does not appreciate this properly, to which Edvard Grieg replies that this is a gift, and she will appreciate it only in ten years, that is, when she turns eighteen. Years pass, the girl grows up and graduates from school. In honor of graduating from school one day, Dagny goes to her aunt Magda and uncle Nils, and they, in turn, go with her to a concert. At the concert, exactly the same piece of music dedicated to her is played. Dagny is very surprised and remembers those wonderful moments and realizes that this is the most best gift. The main idea this story, in my opinion, is that classical music conveys the feelings, emotions and thoughts in general of one person to another, it makes you think about the smallest values ​​in life.

When Dagny heard the melody, she immediately remembered all the most wonderful moments of her life and the person who did so much for her, expressing her childhood years in music. Have time to enjoy your childhood, and you will understand that living in peace is the best gift from nature!

Dagny walked along the deserted streets. She did not notice that behind her, trying not to catch her eye, was Nils, sent by Magda. He swayed like a drunk and muttered something about the miracle that had happened in their little life.

The darkness of the night still lay over the city. But the northern dawn was already beginning to glow faintly in the windows. Dagny went out to the sea. It was lying in deep sleep, without a single splash.

Dagny clenched her hands and groaned from a feeling of the beauty of this world that was not yet clear to her, but which gripped her entire being.

Listen, life,” Dagny said quietly, “I love you.” And she laughed, looking wide with open eyes to the lights of the ships. They bobbed slowly in the clear gray water.

Nils, standing at a distance, heard her laugh and went home. Now he was calm about Dagny. Now he knew that her life would not be in vain.

Objectives: understand the content of the work, determine the main idea of ​​the text.

- Who wrote this story?

(Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky)

– Groups 1 and 2 prepared a report about the writer. Tell me.

(children's story)

Group 1: Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky (1892–1968).

Since childhood, Kostya dreamed of beautiful distant countries. When the boy told his mother about this, she got scared and said: “You are a dreamer, you will not find a place for yourself in life and you will die under the fence.” Kostya was not offended by his mother. He, myopic and fragile from birth, was firmly convinced that he would become a captain, swim in the waters of all warm seas, and reach the most distant islands.

When his father left the Paustovsky family, Kostya had to earn his living in order to graduate from high school. Tutoring took everything away free time, but could not interfere with his favorite pastime - writing. Paustovsky tried to write poetry and stories. He, a ninth grade student, even managed to publish one of them in an adult literary magazine. Konstantin Georgievich changed many professions: he was a counselor and tram conductor, a sailor, a factory worker, an orderly in the army, a literature teacher, and a journalist.

Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky grew up in Ukraine. The writer dedicated several books to memories of his childhood and youth.

The writer took part in the battles civil war. During times Patriotic War was a war correspondent.

Childhood dreams came true: Konstantin Georgievich traveled a lot, traveled all over the country. The impressions received on these trips found a place in many of his works. Paustovsky wrote about human feelings, about nature, about creativity.

Group 2: Konstantin Paustovsky teaches us to be kind and mentally generous.

Adults and children come to his grave, everyone who loves his works, which he gave to people. From spring to late autumn, bouquets of flowers lie on his grave, and in winter fir branches turn green.

Let’s finish the story about the writer with his wish for us:

“Read, read and read!

– What remarkable person did K.G. Paustovsky write about in his story?

(about composer Edvard Grieg)

– In order to understand and feel Paustovsky’s story more deeply, you need to know Grieg’s work and his life well. The next group of children will talk about what Grieg's creativity consists of.

– I give the floor to the guys of groups 3 and 4.

(children's story about Grieg)

Group 3: Edvard Grieg was born in the city of Bergen. At the age of six, the boy began learning to play the piano from his mother, a talented pianist. She introduced her son to the works of Mozart, Chopin, and Mendelssohn.

I once heard young Grieg play famous violinist and advised him to send the boy to study in Germany. Fifteen-year-old Edward entered the conservatory and four years later successfully graduated from it in composition and piano classes.

Group 4: Grieg's talent as a composer quickly gained recognition from his compatriots, and soon his name became known throughout the world. Grieg traveled a lot, gave concerts in different countries. But every time he strove to return to his homeland, to his modest house on the seashore. Legends and fairy tales, colorful paintings come to life in his music folk life, images of the nature of Norway. It sounds like the surf of the northern sea.

The day Grieg died was declared a day of national mourning. The composer was buried in a rock above the ever-turbulent sea.

– Writer Konstantin Paustovsky and composer Edvard Grieg are two great masters: one with words, the other with music, awaken good feelings in us.

  1. Working on a piece.

We will work according to plan.

  1. Meeting.
  2. In the composer's house.
  3. Dagny is visiting.
  4. At the concert.

Checking homework. Reading by roles.

– Now Luda and Sasha will remind us of the episode of the meeting between the composer and the girl.

Let's remember how the meeting between the composer and Dagny took place, listen carefully to their conversation and try to determine what is most important in the conversation.

What's your name, girl?

DagnyPedersen.

What a disaster! I have nothing to give you. I don’t carry dolls, ribbons, or velvet bunnies in my pocket.

I have my mother's old doll. Once upon a time she closed her eyes. Like this! And now she sleeps with her eyes open.

- Listen, Dagny, I came up with an idea. I'll give you one interesting thing. But not now, but in ten years.

Oh, how long!

You see, I still need to do it.

And what is it?

You'll find out later.

Can you only make five or six toys in your entire life?

No, that's not true. I'll do it maybe in a few days. But such things are not given to small children. I make gifts for adults.

I won't break it. And I won't break it. You'll see.

You are still small and don’t understand much. Learn patience. I'll take you with you and we'll talk about something else.

How did Dagny appear to the composer and to us? ( She is small, but hardworking, dragging home a heavy basket of pine cones. She is trusting: she immediately told the stranger about the house and toys. She is sweet and beautiful: she has big green eyes, like a doll’s, and a quiet voice with embarrassment. She is sensitive: she thinks tenderly about her old grandfather and sympathizes with him. And most importantly she Kind heart, knows how to think and grieve about others.)

Conclusion: -What is the most important thing in a conversation?

Grieg decided: “I will write music, On the title page I will order to print: “Dagni Pedersen - daughter of the forester Hagerup Pedersen, when she turns eighteen years old.”

– Why do you think Grig wanted to give the girl a gift?

K. Paustovsky doesn’t tell us directly about this, but you may have already guessed?

Children's suggestions are listened to.

(1. This girl lives in the forest - for Grieg she is the embodiment of nature, she has greenish pupils. 2. Dagny is a girl from the people. And Grieg drew from the people.

  1. And, finally, the girl for Grieg is the personification of youth, a new generation to whom he would like to leave his music.)

– But why did Grieg delay the gift, because you always look forward to gifts? (...I make gifts for adults, you are still small and don’t understand much, learn patience...)

- Of course, material gifts - dolls, toys - are easier to give. Grieg conceived a very complex - spiritual gift - music, so the composer promises it in 10 years.

– Why after 10 years? (because then Dagny will grow up and be able to understand the gift)

Let's work on the second part. – What did we title it? (in the composer's house)

Let's move to the composer's house. Tell us what he was like?

Why did Grieg remove everything from the house? (disturbed, muffled sounds, lived by music, creativity)

How long did Grieg write music for Dagny? (a whole month, winter has begun)

– Mark the words in the text that tell about music listeners. (work in groups)

– What is the mood of the composer at the moment of creativity? (Grieg was inspired and happy, because he was writing and saw a girl with green shining eyes running towards him, gasping with joy. She hugged him by the neck and pressed herself against his gray, unshaven cheek. He devoted himself entirely to work, he created and did great things.)

Do you think Edvard Grieg was happy man? Find words in the text that confirm this.(“ I am an old man, but I gave my life, my work, my talent to the youth. I gave everything away without return. That’s why I may even be happier than you, Dagny.”

  1. Physical education minute

Tell us what has changed in Dagny's life?

What did Dagny become? Read from the text.

A) Vocabulary work

Symphonic music - translated from Greek as "symphony" - a large piece of music for orchestra

How did Dagny behave?

What did she hear in the music? (as the snow melts...) Yes! This was her forest, her homeland! Her mountains, the songs of her horns, the sound of her sea!

What happened when the music stopped? (applause thunders)

What was Dagny thinking about as she left the park? (he died! Why?...)

Today we are finishing work on the story.

What is this story about? (about the beauty of the world and music, reflecting life; about the ability to see beauty in the most ordinary)

– Why did Dagny cry now, listening to Grieg’s music? (These were tears of gratitude. Dagny is sorry that Grieg has already died, and she will not be able to thank him for this wonderful music)

(you have to live by bringing joy to other people)

  1. Conception stage. Writing a syncwine “Music” The music of E. Grieg “Morning” sounds
    Reference record
    (Children's answers)
    Final words from the teacher:
    - Art (painting, theater, literature, music, “the union of magical sounds, feelings and thoughts”) glorifies the beauty of the world, makes our life more beautiful, noble, sublime. When people become familiar with art, they are transformed. In Paustovsky’s story, this happened to Dagny Pedersen, who became the one to whom the Maestro gave a meeting with the Beautiful.
  2. Lesson summary.

What beautiful things did we discover in the story of K. G. Paustovsky? ( We talked about the beauty of nature, oh wonderful people. They have a cute appearance noble deeds, we talked about internal and external beauty person. About a good life (we must believe that it is amazing and beautiful. About spiritual gifts. About music, literature, theater, about types of art that teach us to see beauty.)

We should be grateful to K.G. Paustovsky for giving us such wonderful story about E. Grieg - this kind wizard and great musician. Both of them are masters of their craft. One with words, the other with feelings awakens pure and kind feelings in us. And people of all times are grateful to them for this.

In his work, Konstantin Paustovsky often raises philosophical questions about the meaning of life, about finding one’s place in this world, about the difficulty of choice. The story “Basket with Fir Cones” is no exception. Reading this light, life-affirming work, you understand that the best things in life are given to a person for free.

The main characters of this work, composer Edvard Grieg and the little girl Dagny, the daughter of a forester, meet in the forest. The composer is simply walking, admiring the unique autumn landscape, and the girl collects fir cones. An ordinary conversation, an ordinary autumn. However, everything around seems to be saturated with a fairy tale: amazingly thin aspen leaves that are susceptible to every rustle, fir cones smelling of heavy odorous resin, a fragile and unusually beautiful glass boat...

Grieg is so impressed by his interaction with the little stranger that he decides to dedicate a piece of music to her. Of course, a child is not able to deeply appreciate strength and beauty classical music, so Grieg says that Dagny will receive a gift in ten years, when she turns eighteen. The girl is at a loss, she wants to receive the gift now, but she can only come to terms with it.

When creating a work dedicated to Dagny, the composer thinks with tenderness about his little muse. He knows that she has such an exciting, so bright and wonderful Life, full of discoveries and love. Grieg wishes the girl great and real happiness, and puts all his experiences into music.

Years pass, Dagny turns into a slender beauty with long braids. On the occasion of graduating from school, a girl goes to visit her uncle and aunt, and they decide to take her to a concert. Imagine everyone’s surprise when it sounds indescribable from the stage wonderful music, dedicated to her, the daughter of a forester.

Everything in Dagny’s soul turns upside down, she remembered everything: and the beautiful autumn forest, and a man with laughing eyes who promised to give her an unusual gift. This gift is truly the best thing anyone could ask for because it is more than music, it is a gift of love for life.

Life consists of many large and small events, every minute a person is surrounded by hundreds of things, and how important it is to remember that all this is beautiful, and to love life in all its manifestations. “A Basket of Fir Cones” is a small but impressive story that makes the reader think about true values.

    • A person’s life is so fast-paced and filled with events that sometimes you forget what is most important in life and what is secondary. This is exactly what happens to Nastya, the heroine of Paustovsky’s story “Telegram”. Although the entire plot revolves around her name, we meet Nastya herself in the second half of the story. Nastya was born and raised in the remote village of Zaborye. Apparently, the girl was very bored with her native village and everything connected with it, because she has not come to the village for years. Life is not worth […]
    • How often in life we ​​hurt others without thinking. How much can one save? kind word, one compassionate act. Perhaps it was precisely this idea that Paustovsky wanted to convey to the reader with the story “Warm Bread.” The main character of the story, Filka, nicknamed “You!”, is a boy with a very difficult character. Filka is distrustful, intractable, and rude to everyone, even to his old grandmother. For the time being, he gets away with his rudeness, but only until the boy offends a wounded horse, the favorite of all […]
    • A painful feeling arises after reading the story by K. G. Paustovsky “Telegram”. Not light sadness, quiet sadness and conciliatory harmony with the world, but some kind of heavy dark stone in the soul. It’s as if the feeling of guilt that befell Nastya too late falls to some extent on me as well. At all similar topics are not so characteristic of the well-known Paustovsky, studied at school and loved by young children. We all know an author who respects and appreciates native nature, masters of subtle and touching descriptions [...]
    • Do good - and it will come back to you; do evil - wait for retribution. Everything in life is interconnected. Probably, Paustovsky’s story “Hare’s Paws” is precisely about this: about the interconnection of all living things, about the importance of love and compassion in life. The title of the story is very unusual and immediately makes the reader think about why hare's feet? What's so special about them? Well, I got caught in a forest fire with my scythe and was saved, it’s an everyday thing. Is it really worth writing a whole story about this? It turns out that it’s worth it, because the hare in the story is not a simple one, but [...]
    • A beautiful and kind little “fairy tale” by Konstantin Paustovsky under the cozy homely title “Warm Bread”. Despite the apparent simplicity and uncomplicatedness of the plot, several vernacular, short but colorful descriptions natural phenomena, is a real work of fiction. And it, along with multi-volume novels, makes the reader stop, think, and decide something for himself. What to think about? What exactly to decide? More on this below. Let's go from less to more. The main idea let's leave [...]
    • Ernest Hemingway is a classic of world literature, winner of the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes. Future writer born in 1899 in Oak Park, a privileged suburb of Chicago. His father was a doctor. He tried to instill in his son a love for the world around him. His grandfather also influenced the writer’s worldview. At the age of 12, Ernest received a gift from him - a single-shot shotgun. This is where Hemingway's passion for hunting began. The first stories of the future classic were published in school magazine"Tablet". Also […]
    • Start creative path M. Gorky occurred during a period of crisis in the social and spiritual life of Russia. According to the writer himself, he was pushed to write by the terrible “poor life” and the lack of hope among people. Gorky saw the reason for the current situation primarily in man. Therefore, he decided to offer society a new ideal of a Protestant man, a fighter against slavery and injustice. Gorky knew well the life of the poor, whom society had turned its back on. In his early youth he himself was a “barefoot.” His stories […]
    • The revival of the name of Maxim Gorky after reconsidering the place of his work in Russian literature and renaming everything that bore the name of this writer must definitely happen. It seems that the most famous play from Gorky’s dramatic heritage, “At the Lower Depths,” will play a significant role in this. The genre of drama itself presupposes the relevance of the work in a society where there are many unresolved social problems, where people know what it’s like to spend the night and be homeless. M. Gorky's play “At the Lower Depths” is defined as a socio-philosophical drama. […]

    • It should be noted that the episode of the crews’ collision is divided into two micro-themes. One of them is the appearance of a crowd of onlookers and “helpers” from neighboring village, the other is Chichikov’s thoughts caused by his meeting with a young stranger.
