Abstract

Письма А. Н. Серова к председателю Русского музыкального общества А. А. Кирееву, подготовленные к публикации заведующей Отделом рукописей Ленинградской консерватории А. С. Ляпуновой, раскрывают обстоятельства взаимоотношений композитора с Обществом и различными музыкантами: Даргомыжским, Балакиревым, Рубинштейном, Стасовым и др. В текстах писем содержится информация о составленных Серовым программах сезона 1870–1871 гг. (а также, частично, и 1869–1870). Предисловие («Заметка») Ляпуновой воссоздает контекст и устанавливает причины обращений композитора к адресату: не будучи привлечен к участию в Русском музыкальном обществе, Серов заявляет о своем отрицательном отношении к нему. Критике подвергались также концертные программы и их исполнение — в репертуаре концертов русской музыке отводилось слишком мало места. Привлечение Серова к составлению новых программ грядущих сезонов означала конец «десятилетней вражде», «полное примирение и сотрудничество враждующих сторон». The famous domestic source scientist and textologist Anastasia Sergeevna Lyapu nova, Head of the Manuscript Department of the Leningrad Conservatory, prepared for publication letters by Alexander N. Serov to the chairman of the Russian Musical Society Alexander A. Kireev. The publication of the letters was accompanied by a detailed scientific commentary by Lyapunova. The letters present intriguing insights into the composer's inter actions with society and various members of the musical community, including musicians Dargomyzhsky, Balakirev, Rubinstein, Stasov and others. The texts of the letters contain information regarding the programmes compiled by Serov for the 1870–71 season (in part, also for the 1869–1870 season). In the preface (“Note”), Anastasia S. Lyapunova elucidates the context and rationale behind the composer's appeals to the addressee. Despite his lack of involvement in the Russian Musical Society, Serov makes his disapproval of the addressee known. Furthermore, the concert programmes and their performance were also subjected to criticism. It was argued that insufficient space was allocated in the repertoire of concerts to Russian music. However, Serov's involvement in the compilation of new programmes for the forthcoming seasons signified the conclusion of a decade-long feud, resulting in com plete reconciliation and collaboration between the previously estranged parties.
