I feel the music in the wind,
thunderstorms
rustling leaves on the trees,
the sound waves
in the glow of the fire
and still in love. Listen and you will feel it too.
Zhytomyr – is the capital of Volyn province.
There are many Poles here
and it is not surprising,
because from 1569 to 1793 the city belonged to Poland.
Here, in February 19, 1854
in one of the noble families of Zhytomyr was born boy
who was the son of two nations at once,
because in his veins flowed the blood of Polish, and Ukrainian land brought him up.
"My grandfather and grandmother Carol and Anastasia Zarembskyy kind of Chysheykiv-Sokhatska
lived in Street Banna. "My grandfather and grandmother Carol and Anastasia Zarembskyy kind of Chysheykiv-Sokhatska
lived in Street Banna.
Banna – is a small steep street in the old theater
ended ravine.
Last huts huddled on its slopes.
Almost over the ravine was a mansion.
Here grew my grandfather, my father,
me - Yulyush, my sister Mary and brother Anthony "
Yulyush was growing up, surrounded by affection and love of nearests.
Mother sang him different songs, which she knew a lot.
In turn, the nurse,
originally from the village Stanyshivky
changing the mother at the cradle, was singing Ukrainian songs.
His first piano lessons Yulyush received at home.
His mother and sister Maria taught him music.
Soon they played music for four hands, which is extremely pleasant for young talent.
"Warm summer evenings my mother, sister Marina, brother and me go down to the river to boat.
We sailed up to the famous rocks "Chairman Chatsky."
I imagined the hero,
who jumped in the city on a horse beetle, escaping from enemies.
But most of all I loved how my mother played the piano, sang songs of Moniuszko, Chopin, Ukrainian and Polish songs.
In those years in Zhitomir lived a doctor Leon Liatoshynsky, grandfather of Ukrainian Soviet composer.
He was a family friend of Zarembsky
and with Ukrainian and Russian friends
he helped to hide members of the Polish uprising of 1863.
The political aim of the nationwide uprising
was rebuilding the Polish border in 1772.
According to the author of the uprising,
independent Poland was to be a state of three nations -
Polish, Lithuanian and Russian
(Belarusian and Ukrainian),
in which all citizens receive equal rights and freedoms,
farmers - land that process
and landowners - compensation from the state fund for lost peasant duties.
For residents of Volyn province,
which two years ago were peasants,
it was a chance
to regain lost ground and for all get out of the power of the empire,
which during the period of "serfdom" brought Ukrainian people to complete impoverishment and poor,
destroying Ukrainian national culture and language.
"One night the doctor came to father
and locked with him in office.
I heard:
- How do you do?
- All right.
- I place them at Kravchenko.
- There they will be safe.
- Son,
don't you be afraid if you will take part in a concert
for participants in the uprising? "
Women from the society "Lutnya"
held a concert in favor of the Polish insurgents.
Lucius Rutsynska played a concert in D major by Haydn
with Yulyush,
who had great success.
Lucius Rutsinska – is a talented Polish pianist,
who lived at that time in Zhytomyr.
Seeing abilities of the boy, his family addressed her.
She taught, educated, laid the foundation of consummate skill.
In 1867
Juliusz entered the second grade of Zhitomir first school.
Revealed statement indicates excellent results.
Further estimates indicate great interest and ability to languages and drawing.
"- Mum!
- I could write music? As Chopin.
- I can not say, baby.
You need to know a lot,
and study for a long time.
- Professor Nesvadba,
was at concert where you played.
- Then he spoke a lot with me about you.
- He agreed to teach you seriously.
- What do you say to this?
In fourth grade
the progress performance in history and math decreased there were even mark "two".
Probably
Juliusz, who went sixteenth year, became interested in music.
Music brought his thoughts.
In the gymnasium years, he wrote his first song - the song "Vilia"
and "Trees in bloom" to the words A. Mickiewicz.
The Ukrainian melodies
learned in Zhitomir, reflected in many of his works
testified this sympathy for the people
among whom grew up.
After the end of Zhytomyr school
Yulyush Zarembskyy went to Vienna,
and despite the fact that he was there after the start of classes
at the conservatory, was immediately passed on to last the course.
Conservatory
young man graduated with honors.
"- From the publishers of misery.
- I would like to issue a composition at one man,
but he said that,
although being captured by my talent, he couldn't issue my works.
- Here in Vienna
it isn't issued any other things besides dancing, meaningless songs and operettas piano translations of Offenbach and Strauss,
that bring a profit.
- The whole world do anything for personal gain
and nothing for art and ideas.
After completing his studies in Vienna
Zarembskyy passed the exams at the St. Petersburg Conservatory,
received a diploma and the title of free artist
and arrived in Zhytomyr,
where he lived more than a year.
He gave concerts for his compatriots in the biggest city halls.
He played Schubert, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Liszt.
performed own works.
"- You can expect
that a concert scheduled for tomorrow (April 28) in the theater.
Zarembskiy gather many fans of piano game.
In this regard
it is useful to recognize to those
who are not familiar with concert,
recalled that he was born here "
"- wrote the newspaper" Volinskye gubernskiye vedomosti. "
The first independent concert tours:
Kyiv, Odessa.
Among all the famous musicians
with whom Zarembskyy met,
the authority he sawonly in Franz Liszt;
after the triumph of his concert tour,
he suddenly decided to go to Rome
to take lessons at Liszt.
Juliusz
came to Rome in the autumn of 1874
- without protection or letter of recommendation.
The pass was his talent and repertoire.
He worked. Although it was not easy.
"Liszt agreed to deal with the student.
Opening the soul of genius,
he had no doubt in his future
and showed him the new concept "
"- wrote John Klechinski,
editor of the Warsaw" Echo Music ".
Ukrainian folk themes concern Yulyush earlier
and it is another hypostasis of his work.
He wrote "Galician dancing"
" which devotes to mother;
instrumentation was made and recommended to publishers by Franz Liszt.
"Your etudes are the most significant,
magnificent and masterly,
because in your writings,
bears the stamp of originality "
"- said Maestroin a letter
to a favorite student.
It is not easy to conquer"Capital of the World".
Paris audience is spoiled and demanding.
As, well as the German, English and Italian.
He needed no army To "win" Europe.
The genius and masterly piano player
"take captive" audience by enormous power of his extraordinary talent.
In Paris, his concert
was attended by about five thousand of people.
He was applauded in London,
Rome,
Naples,
Weimar,
Warsaw,
Constantinople.
Rubinstein and Saint-Saens
went to his concert experiences.
Belgian King Leopold II
offered a professorship musician in the Brussels Conservatory.
Zarembskiy's technic of playing the piano
was so perfect
that impressed not only the experienced audience,
but also the most demanding musical authority.
Sometimes he showed real miracles of performance skills.
At the World Exhibition in Paris
in 1878,
he played on two keyboards at the same time,
one of which was quite unusual:
her keys arranged in reverse order.
It was a grand piano company "Mangin."
But still the brightest pages of his performance skills was Chopin.
He played his works in a special way.
No one has been able to so accurately convey the unique spirit of Chopin.
Zarembskyy created this image of a formidable force .
and all the fancy perceived as a tragic poem about the fate of Poland.
Ovation. Baskets of flowers.
Triumphal tour to European capitals noisy,
but miles and miles away, on the banks of black grouse, stood silent cozy city of Zhytomyr,
where everything is expensive and celebration,
because there - the birthplace, home, father and mother.
In January 1,
1879 in Zhytomyr Zarembskyy married
with a pupil of Liszt Janina Wenzel.
Origin German, Ioannina preferred to see Zarembskyy as European cosmopolitan,
and therefore could not accept the fact
that life and work, he feels especially Polish.
She didn't respect the patriotic spirit of her husband,
she resisted his efforts to teach her daughter Wanda to speak Polish,
she refused to go with him to Zhitomir.
They sometimes acted together in concert,
but the affinity between the two has not arisen.
"- Mum,
I offered a lot of time Ioannina get together with Wanda to visit you.
She flatly refuses, inventing various excuses."
The disease
- this cunning, ruthless enemy
- crept up unexpectedly.
Phthisis! At present - tuberculosis.
Clinging to the victim, illness exhausts it.
Sometimes it seems to let go,
finally make the terrible judgment.
It doesn't exist an effective treatment for the disease.
Saving vaccine will be invented only in half a century.
But at that time – the desease is invincible.
And Zarembskyy was doomed.
As Chopin, as Chekhov,
as Lesya Ukrainka.
Fatal tubercle bacillus
takes thousands of lives
and it is not gentle to talents.
After collecting all the power Zarembskyy went on stage.
He played and it seemed - the piano is inspiration!
At Swiss resorts he feeled better,
but he knew it's only temporary relief.
Instrument music sheet called him again,
stave - five lines on which he wrote his new works.
In March 1885
Zarembskyy ends his "swan song" -
"Quintet".
- "Spring is coming ... and coming warm days.
- Trees are already beginning to turn green.
"I rarely leave the house.
After tea I immediately sit down for configuration "
He didn't imagine his life without music.
In September 1885
Zarembskyy returned to Zhitomir.
On the way to the village he decided to wrap Tyutyunykiv (now Chudnovsky district),
where lived his elder sister Maria.
He recalled how as a child he taught them both to play the piano.
Composer captured the cheerful mood.
He wanted to move.
He persuaded his sister to walk in the forest.
The morning turned out fine.
He told his sister about Brussels,
about their plans,
away from home for a considerable distance,
when the sky clouded.
It was raining and they couldn't escape
and still got to the house.
The evening for Julius began coughing,
then bleeding.
They sent for doctors to Chudnov and Zhytomyr,
but it was too late.
The tragedy occurred on September 1, 1885.
By legend the heart of Zarembskiy was buried in the cathedral church of St. Sophia,
and the body –
in the Polish cemetery.
Music experts are unanimous: piano cycle "Roses and Thorns" of Yulyush Zarembskiy -
its top of his career,
creative rise.
"Roses and Thorns"...
Sounds symbolic.
There is something from Mozart,
reminiscent of "Requiem".
Thirst for life
and too early plucked roses.
