Abstract
The article is dedicated to the legendary pianist Maria Veniaminovna Yudina (1899–1970). Interest in her work does not fade away. And today, many musicians and researchers again turn to her personality, creativity, analyze her unique performing skills, and study her pedagogical activity. Nevertheless, despite this interest and rather extensive literature, the problem of the spiritual world of M. V. Yudina, who was formed from early childhood under the influence of the family, the atmosphere of the Silver Age, and also thanks to communication with friends, including philosophers, writers, poets, such as M. M. Bakhtin, A. F. Losev, P. A. Florensky, Z. N. Gippius, D. S. Merezhkovsky, B. L. Pasternak, A. Bely, K. D. Balmont, Vyach. Ivanov and many others. The authors pay special attention to the spiritual and moral values (kindness, love for people, mercy, mutual assistance), which M.V. Yudina always followed. It was difficult for the outstanding pianist to maintain her Christian beliefs and values in this atmosphere and follow them daily until 1970. As a result, her whole life became a real spiritual, aesthetic and social feat.
