Description of the slide:

The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the fact that modern children are less and less interested in the customs and traditions of the Russian people, that people forget about their cultural heritage, their music and musical instruments, without which it was once impossible to imagine the life of Russian people. I consider it necessary to acquaint the children of my class and school with the history of the appearance of the balalaika with the help of my research. The hypothesis has its own characteristics. I made the assumption that if I learn and tell about the balalaika and the history of its development, then the students of my class will learn more about the Russian musical instrument, their horizons in the field of musical art will expand, their interest in the subject “music” will increase at school, and maybe even they will have a desire to learn how to play the balalaika. Problems. I found a lot of interesting information on the topic of the project. But I still don’t know how to process and highlight the main thing. I lacked the necessary knowledge and computer skills to work on the presentation, and therefore had to seek help from the project manager and parents. My interest in Russian folk instruments arose when, during the festive concerts at our school, I noticed that almost all the guys are interested in modern music and choreography. And few people are interested in musical folk art.

Historical information When and by whom the balalaika was invented, there is no exact information. There are different versions about the appearance of the balalaika. Balalaika, like a whistle, a bagpipe, a harp, etc., is revered as one of the oldest musical instruments, which is also evidenced by the Arab historian Ibn-Fatslan, who visited Volga Bulgaria in 921 as an ambassador and saw how the visiting "Russians" buried their prince. According to pagan custom, among other things, they put in the grave of the deceased: “a strong drink, fruits and a musical instrument” - “eine Laute”, translated by Fran, according to A. Kotlyarevsky - “balalaika”, so that, according to pagan belief in the afterlife, he could delight himself in the next world by playing the instrument he loved during his lifetime. There is also such information about the origin of the balalaika that in the 17th century, during the performances of buffoons, they had an unusual instrument. They were made from a dried pumpkin, to which a stick was tied, and instead of two strings, horsehair was stretched. On a stick that served as a neck, nutlets were made from animal veins. Later, the balalaika was “a long two-stringed instrument, had a body about one and a half spans in length (about 27 cm) and one span in width (about 18 cm) and a neck (neck) at least four times longer” (M. Gutry, "Dissertation on Russian antiquities").

Description of the slide:

By the end of the 18th century, the balalaika was firmly gaining wide public recognition and became one of the most popular instruments of the Russian people. Apparently, the compilers of the musical dictionary "Pocket Book for 1795" had sufficient reason to assert that "this instrument is in great use in Russia ... among the common people." The popularity of the balalaika in the second half of the 18th century is also indicated by the fact that among its lovers there were many representatives of the "upper class". All this contributed to the emergence of true masters of balalaika performance from among Russian musicians. Ivan Evstafievich Khandoshkin (1747-1804) should first of all be attributed to the number of such masters. In his person, the balalaika found a perfect performer, an unsurpassed virtuoso. A new life was given to the balalaika by a Russian musician, organizer and leader of the first orchestra of folk instruments in the history of Russia (1888), composer, virtuoso balalaika player Vasily Vasilyevich Andreev.

I had already seen this instrument in the small shops at the windows, but I had never heard it played.

What it is? Balalaika is a Russian folk three-stringed plucked musical instrument, from 600-700 mm (prima balalaika) to 1.7 meters (subcontrabass balalaika) in length, with a triangular slightly curved (also oval in the 18th-19th centuries) wooden case. The balalaika is one of the instruments that have become (along with the accordion and, to a lesser extent, the pity) the musical symbol of the Russian people.

slide 3

History of musical instrument. There is no single point of view on the time of the appearance of the balalaika. Conventionally, it is believed that the balalaika has been spreading since the beginning of the 18th century; in the 1880s, it was improved by V. V. Andreev together with the masters Paserbsky and Nalimov. A family of modernized balalaikas has been created - prima, second, viola, bass, double bass. The balalaika is used as a solo concert, ensemble and orchestral instrument.

slide 4

Etymology The very name of the instrument is already curious, it is typically folk, conveying the character of playing on it with the sound of syllable combinations. The root of the words "balalaika", or, as it was also called, "balabayka", has long attracted the attention of researchers by its kinship with such Russian words as balakat, balabonit, balabolit, joker, which means to chat, empty calls (go back to the common Slavic *bolbol of the same meaning ). All these concepts, complementing each other, convey the essence of the balalaika - an instrument of light, funny, "strumming", not very serious. For the first time, the word "balalaika" is found in written monuments dating back to the reign of Peter I. The first written mention of the balalaika is contained in a document dated June 13, 1688 - "Memory from the Streltsy order to the Little Russian order" (RGADA), which, among other things, reports that in Moscow, in the Streltsy Prikaz, “the townsman Savka Fedorov and the peasant Ivashko Dmitriev were brought, and with them a balalaika was brought so that they rode a chariot horse in a cart to the Yausky Gate, sang songs and played the balalaika in toe and sentry archers who were on guard at the Yausky Gates, scolded.

slide 5

System Before the balalaika was turned into a concert instrument at the end of the 19th century by Vasily Andreev, it did not have a permanent, ubiquitous system. Each performer tuned the instrument according to his own style of performance, the general mood of the pieces played, and local traditions. The system introduced by Andreev (two strings in unison - the note "mi", one - a quart higher - the note "la") was widely used by concert balalaika players and began to be called "academic". There is also a "folk" system - the first string is "la", the second - "mi", the third - "do". With this system, triads are easier to take, its disadvantage is the difficulty of playing on open strings

Slide 7

The fact that the balalaika in the form in which it is now familiar to everyone is a Russian folk instrument is not entirely true. And the version that in the 17th century the balalaika was brought to Russia from the east is completely implausible: the Asian peoples never had similar instruments. The history, however, is confusing. In the annals until the 17th century there is no word "balalaika", there is - "domra". Buffoons played on domra. In 1648 and 1657, by decrees on the prohibition of buffoonery, their "demonic, buzzing vessels" were ordered to be collected and burned throughout Moscow. And when rewriting the annals, even the word "domra" was blacked out and replaced with a "balalaika" from nowhere.

Why is she called that? The name "balalaika", sometimes found in the form "balabaika", is a folk name, probably given to the instrument in imitation of the strumming, "balakan" of the strings during the game. "Balagat", "joke" in the folk dialect means to chat, empty calls. Some attribute the Tatar origin to the word "balalaika". The Tatars have the word "bala" meaning "child". It may have served as the source of the origin of the words "talk", "talk", etc. containing the concept of unreasonable, as if childish chatter.

BALALAIKA

Balalaika is a Russian three-stringed plucked musical instrument, from 600-700 mm (prima balalaika) to 1.7 meters (double bass balalaika) in length, with a triangular slightly curved (also oval in the 18th-19th centuries) wooden case.

The body shape of the balalaika was originally rounded.






One of the first mentions of the balalaika dates back to October 1700 in connection with a fight that took place in the Verkhoturye district. According to the coachmen Pronka and Alexei Bayanov, the courtyard man of the steward of the governor K.P. Kozlova I. Pashkov chased them and "beat them with a balalaika."

(1861 - 1918) - Russian musician, composer, balalaika virtuoso.

Organizer and leader of the first orchestra of Russian folk instruments (1888, since 1896 - Great Russian Orchestra).


Once, while traveling around his estate, a young nobleman Vasily Vasilyevich Andreev heard a balalaika from his yard Antipas. Andreev was struck by the peculiarity of the sound of this instrument, and yet he considered himself an expert on Russian folk instruments. And Vasily Vasilyevich decided to make the most popular instrument out of the balalaika. To begin with, he slowly learned to play himself, then he noticed that the instrument was fraught with enormous possibilities, and decided to improve the balalaika. Andreev went to St. Petersburg to the violin maker Ivanov, for advice and asked him to think about how to improve the sound of the instrument. Ivanov, however, opposed and said that he would not make a balalaika, categorically. Andreev thought about it, then took out an old balalaika, which he bought at the fair for thirty kopecks, and masterfully performed one of the folk songs, of which there are a huge number in Russia. Ivanov could not resist such an onslaught and agreed. The work was long and hard, but still a new balalaika was made. But Vasily Andreev conceived something more than the creation of an improved balalaika. Taking it from the people, he wanted to return it to the people and distribute it. Now all the soldiers serving were given a balalaika, and, leaving the army, the military took the instrument with them.

Balalaika Compiled by: music director of MBDOU kindergarten No. 20, Pavlovo Egorova E.B., 1 qualification category

The history of the origin of the balalaika is rooted in the depths of centuries. There are a large number of documents and information about the origin of the instrument. Many believe that the balalaika was invented in Rus', others think that it came from the folk instrument of the Kirghiz-Kaisaks - dombra. There is another version: perhaps the balalaika was invented during the Tatar rule, or at least borrowed from the Tatars. The Tatar word "balalar" translated into Russian means "children". For the first time, the name "balalaika" is found in written monuments from the time of Peter the Great. In 1715, during the celebration of a comic wedding arranged by order of the king, balalaikas were mentioned among the instruments that appeared in the hands of the dressed participants in the ceremony. Moreover, these instruments were given into the hands of a group of Kalmyks dressed up.

Probably, serfs invented the balalaika to brighten up their existence in submission to a cruel landowner. Gradually, the balalaika spread among peasants and buffoons traveling all over our vast country. Buffoons performed at fairs, entertained people, earned their living and did not even suspect what wonderful instrument they were playing. The fun did not last long, the Tsar and Grand Duke of All Rus' Alexei Mikhailovich issued a decree in which he ordered all the instruments (domras, balalaikas, horns, psaltery, etc.) to be collected and burned, and those people who would not obey and give balalaikas to flog and send to the link. But time passed, the king died and the balalaika again sounded throughout the country, but again not for long. The time of popularity was again replaced by almost complete oblivion until the middle of the 19th century.

So the balalaika was lost, but not quite. Some peasants still played music on the three-string. And, one day, traveling around his estate, a young nobleman Vasily Vasilyevich Andreev heard a balalaika from his yard Antipas. Andreev was struck by the peculiarity of the sound of this instrument, and yet he considered himself an expert on Russian folk instruments. And Vasily Vasilyevich decided to make the most popular instrument out of the balalaika. To begin with, he slowly learned to play himself and noticed that the instrument was fraught with enormous possibilities.

Taking the balalaika from the people, Vasily Vasilyevich wanted to return it to the people and distribute it. Now all the soldiers serving were given a balalaika, and, leaving the army, the military took the instrument with them. Thus, the balalaika again spread throughout Russia and became one of the most popular instruments.

There were ups and downs in the history of the balalaika, but it continues to live and it is not for nothing that all foreigners are the personification of Russian culture.
