Mussorgsky's visit to the exhibition was the impetus for the creation of a musical walk through an imaginary exhibition gallery. The result was a series of musical pictures that only partly resemble the works seen; in the main, the plays were the result of the free flight of the composer's musical fantasy.

Conventional wisdom says that the effect of bad books is akin to radiation: a person does not notice how he becomes infected with bad taste when reading them. But if on the book road a child comes across works from this review, you can be sure that the child is reliably and for a long time vaccinated against the bad influence of bad books. This review includes the works of the classics of the 19th-20th (first half) centuries.

1) A.S. Pushkin "Tales"(4-10 years old)

From the age of 4, the baby can be introduced to these immortal fairy tales. Of the seven fairy tales written by Pushkin, only five are included in many collections:
The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of his glorious and mighty son Prince Gvidon Saltanovich and
beautiful swan princess
The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Bogatyrs
The Tale of the Golden Cockerel
The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish
The tale of the priest and his worker Balda

2)L.N. Tolstoy "Children"(6-12 years old)

Between writing the world-famous novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy spent several years fascinated by a large educational project for which he created the ABC, considering at that time that this was the main work of his life. This "ABC" assumed not only teaching to read and write, but also included a large layer of instructive stories and fairy tales for children. In them, Tolstoy succeeded, without moralizing, in conveying to children thoughts about good and evil, about truth and lies, about justice and love.

3) A.P. Chekhov "Kashtanka"(6-10 years old)

Chekhov's stories will always be referred to. They are unusually easy to read, because the skill of the writer is unsurpassed. He writes briefly but succinctly. Laughs cheerfully, but with a touch of sadness. It teaches not just to feel, but to feel nobly, causing either a smile or tears of compassion. And he does not invent anything, reproducing stories from life itself. His words sound quiet, but fall into the very soul. He does not read morality, does not scold, does not punish for atrocities. He understands that victory can only be achieved through laughter, good example and sympathy. Light and Touching story Kashtanka leaves no reader indifferent. It is very important to read in childhood just such works written by an intelligent, attentive and kind writer.

4) D.N. Mamin-Sibiryak "Alyonushka's Tales"(5-9 years old)

Dmitry Narkisovich Mamin-Sibiryak, a Russian prose writer and playwright, became a writer of fairy tales quite by accident - he began to write them for his little daughter Alena, and then got carried away. The result was the book Alyonushka's Tales, which appeared in 1897, which included ten of the most interesting, in the author's opinion, fairy tales. “This is my favorite book - it was written by love itself, and therefore it will survive everything else,” wrote Mamin Sibiryak.
In these tales, all the characters come to life and speak humanly: animals, birds, fish, insects, plants and even toys, for example, Komar Komarovich, Shaggy Bear, Brave Hare, Sparrow Vorobeich and Ruff Yershovich. Talking about the funny adventures of animals and toys, the author skillfully combines the fascinating content of fairy tales and morality, trying to teach his readers honesty, modesty and hard work.

5) I.A. Krylov "Fables"(6-12 years old)

Krylov's fables have been familiar to us since childhood - even before they were asked to learn them by heart at school, we often heard expressions that had become popular, not even suspecting that they were from Krylov's fables: “And Vaska listens and eats”, “Sing, little light , do not be ashamed”, “And things are still there”, “Did you sing all the time? This is the case: so come on, dance!”, “And you, friends, no matter how you sit down, you’re not good at musicians.” Quotes from the fables of the great Russian fabulist so organically entered our lives and our language that they became part of our culture.

6) P.P. Ershov "Humpbacked Horse"(4-8 years old)

"The Little Humpbacked Horse" was and still remains among the most beloved fairy tales, like Pushkin's fairy tales, for its melodiousness, for the beauty of poetic speech, where fairy tale narration is intertwined with magic, with folk dialect, with sayings.

7) A.I. Kuprin Stories "Elephant and other stories about animals", "Wonderful Doctor", "White Poodle"(9-12 years old)

Real, strong, vital works for children, not just touching, but turning the soul, written in a beautiful literary language.

8) V.G.Korolenko "Children of the Underground" (12+)

"Children of the Underground" is a story about an unexpected friendship between the son of a judge and a homeless boy. A short but very sincere relationship not only left an indelible mark on the barchuk's soul, but also softened the harsh temper of his father.

9) V.M. Garshin "Frog Traveler"(2-5 years)

The cautionary tale of the quick-witted but boastful frog on ducks and its successful landing will delight children, you can be sure!

10) V.F. Odoevsky "Moroz Ivanovich" (3-6 years old), "Town in a Snuffbox" (6-10 years old)

The fairy tale "Moroz Ivanovich" is rightfully considered one of the best works of V. Odoevsky. Despite the fact that the fairy tale was created almost 200 years ago, it is still loved by young readers. According to the plot and characters, this is a variation on the theme of Russian folk tale"Frost".

Odoevsky strove to ensure that the children liked his fairy tale and interested them. The very idea of ​​it can be explained by this desire. Who didn’t want to know what was inside the toy that struck us?! So Misha wanted to look inside the musical snuffbox - to find out how it works. Unbeknownst to himself, under the melodic ringing of bells, the boy fell asleep, and he dreamed of a revived musical town ... Like any good fairy tale, Odoevsky's fairy tale has a happy ending: when he woke up, Misha saw that he had not broken the snuffbox. But he guessed that the bells ring because the hammers hit them, and the hammers move because the roller moves, and the roller turns because there is a princess spring. She pushes the roller. And how much movement! The bells ring, the sun rises and sets, the stars sparkle in the sky! Together with Misha, you learned how a snuffbox works, but the charm of fiction has not disappeared. Exact knowledge does not interfere with poetry. The charm will disappear only when you break the spring. But who wants it? Remember how Misha was delighted that the spring was intact? This is the idea: a person should protect everything beautiful. You also need to take care of things if you want to prolong the pleasure of using them, admiring them.

11) Anthony Pogorelsky "Black Hen, or Underground Inhabitants"(7-10 years old)

This wonderful fairy tale by Antony Pogorelsky is almost 200 years old, but it still remains one of the best works of Russian literature for children.
…What little boy doesn't dream of adventure? So Alyosha, a young pupil of a St. Petersburg boarding school, also hopes to meet something magical and amazing. And then one day he saves a black chicken named Chernushka from the cook's knife. Alyosha has no idea that this chicken is not simple. In fact, Chernushka is a powerful minister in a magical underground kingdom. And now the real ones are waiting for Alyosha magical adventures. But will they be as he expects? ..

12) N.G. Garin-Mikhailovsky "Childhood Themes"(8-12 years old)

Published for the first time more than a century ago (1892), the autobiographical story "Tyoma's Childhood" is still close to the young reader. What is the secret? Why modern child empathizes with the joys and worries, dreams and disappointments, small achievements and discoveries of the high school student Tyoma as passionately as with his own? It's all about the sincerity and truthfulness of this work. As I wrote myself

13) M.M. Zoshchenko Stories for children(6-10 years old)

What is a good children's book? This is a book that you read to a child 5, 10, 15 times and he does not get bored. These are the kind of books these stories are! "Lyolya and Minka" is already a classic! These stories of the famous writer-humorist about little children - naughty, pranksters and inventors. Young readers will be happy to laugh at the funny adventures of their peers. But the main thing in the stories is, of course, not pranks and pranks, but the touching friendship of the guys, mutual assistance, compassion and sincere love for their loved ones.

14) Sasha Cherny "Fox Mickey's Diary"(6-10 years old)

Fox Mickey's Diary is one of the best children's books by the remarkable Russian poet, prose writer and journalist Sasha Cherny (1880–1932).

Conscious parents care about harmonious development your baby. Of course, for this you will have to make a lot of effort, give the little one all your love and spend countless hours.

We will tell you why it is so important to organize the correct musical education of a child from childhood and why it is worth listening to classical music.

Classical music for pregnant women

The child begins to distinguish sounds from the 5th month of pregnancy. One hour of listening to classical music during pregnancy per day will be enough to start introducing the unborn baby to sounds new to him. After birth, babies are able to remember familiar melodies and even fall asleep to them. Emotional balance in children listening to music while still in their mother's tummy has been proven. This effect is most likely due to the fact that listening to classical music during pregnancy, the expectant mother relaxes, rests, and this affects the baby only in a positive way.

Classical music for newborns

It is well known that the musical taste and perception of music in general are formed in babies under the influence of the habits of their parents. What the baby hears every day will most likely be his preference.

Already at three months, classical music for newborns can be arbitrarily complex, because the little one learns information literally on the fly, it is enough for him to hear the melody several times in order to then easily recognize it. Listening to songs one after another, sooner or later one of them will begin to give preference. The melody will be interesting to him. And to get the interest of the child is wonderful. Why? Interest is the main component in the development of the child. Only interest gives rise to the desire for knowledge.

Proper musical education in the neonatal period is giving your child the opportunity to understand and realize the full depth of classical music. It is classical music for children that is indispensable in terms of hearing development and development in general.

How to listen to classical music with children?

For the development of the child, of course, classical music is preferable to plain pop melodies.

Of course, simple children's songs will cause joy and delight in the baby. Little children who do not even know what dance is, having heard any groovy melody, on an intuitive level begin to clap, stomp their feet or dance. Music encourages children to express their emotions.

Classical music is soothing and inspiring. However, it should be listened to in moderation. In pursuit of early development child, do not tire him around the clock listening to all kinds of melodies and educational materials.

For babies, 1-2 melodies a day are enough, then the time for listening to classical music gradually increases.

Our collection of classical music for children features truly golden melodies written by the most talented composers in history. Give your child a chance to experience the greatness and depth of classical music before listening to nursery rhymes with them.

In the Soviet Union, they did not save on children's cinema. Children's films had a decent budget, they were shot by famous directors, and the roles were played by movie stars. We have collected 15 children's films shot in the USSR, which will definitely appeal to modern children of primary school age.

1. Adventures of Pinocchio (1975, director Leonid Nechaev)

Premiere children's musical"The Adventures of Pinocchio" took place on the first program of Central Television on January 1 and 2, 1976.


The members of the artistic council that accepted the picture were extremely dissatisfied: “An ugly picture! How can this be - a cat without a tail, a fox in a dress, Pinocchio mocks an elderly man (meaning Karabas Barabas). The film was saved only by the fact that it was the end of the year, and failure to fulfill the plan was fraught with deprivation of prizes.


Director Nechaev planned to invite Faina Ranevskaya for the role of Turtle Tortila, but she was already in her advanced years and her health was failing. “Lenya, I will play the Turtle with pleasure, but only if the shooting takes place in my stairwell”, Faina Georgievna answered the proposal.

Dmitry Iosifov - the performer of the role of Pinocchio - is the only one of the young artists who connected his fate with cinema.

2. Cinderella (1947, directors - Nadezhda Kosheverova, Mikhail Shapiro)

The filming of Cinderella took place in the summer of 1946. Natural episodes were filmed in Riga and its environs, and interior scenes were filmed in the pavilions of Lenfilm. Especially for the combined shootings, they created models of the palace and the park.


Yanina Zheymo, who starred in the role of Cinderella, was 38 years old during the filming of the film. So that the age was not noticeable, the scenes with her participation were filmed only in the evening. Prince Alexei Konsovsky was 35 years old, and Cinderella's father Vasily Merkuriev was 43 years old.


In 1967, the film Cinderella was restored at Mosfilm. And in 2009, a second restoration took place, after which a color version of the film appeared.

3. Old man Hottabych (1956, director Gennady Kazansky)

Stills from the film."] The football match between the teams "Chisel" and "Puck" was filmed at two stadiums, which were located in different parts of St. Petersburg. The game was filmed at the Svetlana stadium, and the stands at the stadium named after S. M. Kirov.


In a funny episode, when the old man Hottabych eats popsicle, actor Nikolai Volkov ate glazed curds on both cheeks, not ice cream. I was afraid to catch a cold.


Aleksey Litvinov, who starred in the role of Volk Kostylkov, will buy a camera, a bicycle and a Temp-2 color TV with his first fee. 2400 rubles by Soviet standards was more than a decent amount.

4. The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors (1963, director - Alexander Rowe)

9-year-old students of the 337th Moscow school Olya and Tanya Yukina became real stars after the release of the Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors. To the studio. Bitter letters for them came in bags, and at school the girls were simply not allowed to pass. But they never made it into the big movies.


In 1985, a 20-page comic book based on the plot "Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors" was released.


Georgy Millyar played several roles in "The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors", as well as in several other Rowe's tales - the most important master of ceremonies, the dowager queen and the royal carter.

The film has several differences from the book it was based on. So, in the book there is no scene of an attempted poisoning. In the film, Anidag's proposal to become queen is made by Abaj, and in the book, by Nushrok.

5. Varvara-beauty, long braid (1969, director - Alexander Rou)


Boris Grachevsky, the future creator of Yeralash, worked on the set of the film as an administrator of the film. He even got the role of Chudy-Yuda's hand, which appears from the basin and threatens the king, saying: "Due!"


For Sergei Nikolaev, the role of Tsarevich Andrei "well-fed but ill-mannered" became his debut film role and the most famous of more than fifty screen works.

Cast main character, the daughter of the underwater king, starred Tatyana Klyueva. She began acting in films at the age of 10, and by the beginning of the filming of the film, she already had several roles on her account.

6. New Year's adventures of Masha and Vitya (1975, directors - Gennady Kazansky, Igor Usov)

Premiere of the painting New Year's adventures Masha and Viti" took place on December 25, 1975 on the air of the Central Television of the USSR.


For Mikhail Boyarsky, this film became a “family contract”: Kashchei the Immortal was played by the actor’s uncle, Nikolai Boyarsky, whose famous film roles were Adam Kozlevich in The Golden Calf and a physical education teacher in The Adventures of Electronics.


A year after the release of the film on the screens, the Melodiya company released the disc "Masha and Vitya against the Wild Guitars" with an audio version of the movie fairy tale.

7. Morozko

(1964, director - Alexander Row) "Frost" became the 13th full-length film directed by Alexander Row and turned out to be happy: critics and viewers accepted the film with enthusiasm.


Inna Churikova played Marfushenka while still a student at the Shchukin School. She later recalled: “I really wanted to act, but I didn’t even hope that they would take me. On the samples, we gnawed nuts, I gnawed them very well, not sparing my teeth. This is probably why Alexander Arturovich took me.


Steven Spielberg called the film Frost the forerunner of a number of Hollywood film masterpieces: it was from Rowe's picture that the creators of spectacular special effects that adorned many American blockbusters drew ideas.

Dog Druzhok before the film "Frost" was already filming in "The Tale of Lost Time".

8. Vasilisa the Beautiful (1939, director - Alexander Rou)

In Vasilisa the Beautiful, Georgy Millyar played Baba Yaga for the first time in his career. And he asked for this role himself.


Gorynych's snake, at Rowe's request, was made at the Experimental Toy Factory in Zagorsk, Moscow Region. The toy monster was 5 meters high and 11 meters long. On the shooting of the film, which took place in Yalta, Gorynych was brought dismantled on 4 railway platforms. On the set, 20 people set the snake in motion at once.


Millyar said: I played with an eye to fear. I copied this image entirely from an old Greek woman who lived in the house opposite. She had greasy, gray hairs and a crooked nose. But when they saw me in makeup in the courtyard of the Yalta studio, the children ran away crying. When I realized that, seeing me on the screen, the children were crying, I thought: why am I scaring them so? So that they fear evil and burst into tears from it? And my next Baba-Yagas were ridiculous to disgrace».

9. Attention, turtle!
