A.S. Pushkin, like any poet, experienced the feeling of love very keenly. All his experiences, sensations poured out on a sheet of paper with wonderful verses. In his lyrics you can see all the facets of feelings. The work "I remember a wonderful moment" can be called a textbook example of the poet's love lyrics. Probably, every person can easily recite at least the first quatrain of the famous poem by heart.
In fact, the poem, "I remember a wonderful moment" is a story of one love. The poet in a beautiful form conveyed his feelings about several meetings, in this case about the two most significant ones, managed to touchingly and sublimely convey the image of the heroine.
The poem was written in 1825, and in 1827 it was published in the almanac "Northern Flowers". The publication was handled by a friend of the poet - A. A. Delvig.
In addition, after the publication of the work of A.S. Pushkin began to appear various musical interpretations of the poem. So, in 1839 M.I. Glinka created the romance "I remember a wonderful moment ..." to the verses of A.S. Pushkin. The reason for writing the romance was Glinka's meeting with Anna Kern's daughter, Ekaterina.
To whom is it dedicated?
A poem is dedicated to A.S. Pushkin to the niece of the President of the Academy of Arts Olenin - Anna Kern. For the first time the poet saw Anna in Olenin's house in St. Petersburg. This was in 1819. At that time, Anna Kern was married to a general and did not pay attention to the young graduate of the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. But that same graduate was fascinated by the beauty of the young woman.
The second meeting of the poet with Kern happened in 1825, it was this meeting that served as the impetus for writing the work “I Remember a Wonderful Moment”. Then the poet was in exile in the village of Mikhailovskoye, and Anna arrived at the neighboring Trigorskoye estate. They had a fun and carefree time. Later, Anna Kern and Pushkin had more friendly relations. But those moments of happiness and delight are forever imprinted in the lines of Pushkin's work.
Genre, size, direction
The work belongs to love lyrics. The author reveals the feelings and emotions of the lyrical hero, who remembers the best moments of his life. And they are connected with the image of the beloved.
The genre is a love letter. “... You appeared before me ...” - the hero refers to his “genius of pure beauty”, she became a consolation and happiness for him.
For this work, A.S. Pushkin chooses iambic pentameter and cross type of rhyme. With the help of these means, the feeling of the story is conveyed. It is as if we see and hear the lyrical hero live, who slowly tells his story.
Composition
The ring composition of the work is based on antithesis. The poem is divided into six quatrains.
- The first quatrain tells of the "wonderful moment" when the hero first saw the heroine.
- Then, in contrast, the author draws heavy, gray days without love, when the image of the beloved gradually began to fade from memory.
- But in the finale, the heroine appears to him again. Then in his soul again resurrects "and life, and tears, and love."
Thus, the work is framed by two wonderful meetings of heroes, a moment of charm and insight.
Images and symbols
The lyrical hero in the poem “I remember a wonderful moment ...” is a person whose life changes as soon as an invisible feeling of attraction to a woman appears in his soul. Without this feeling, the hero does not live, he exists. Only a beautiful image of pure beauty can fill his being with meaning.
In the work we meet all kinds of symbols. For example, the image-symbol of a storm, as the personification of everyday adversity, everything that the lyrical hero had to endure. The image-symbol "the darkness of imprisonment" refers us to the real basis of this poem. We understand that this refers to the exile of the poet himself.
And the main symbol is the "genius of pure beauty." It is something incorporeal, beautiful. So, the hero elevates and spiritualizes the image of his beloved. Before us is not a simple earthly woman, but a divine being.
Topics and issues
- The central theme in the poem is love. This feeling helps the hero to live and survive in harsh days for him. In addition, the theme of love is closely related to the theme of creativity. It is the excitement of the heart that awakens inspiration in the poet. The author can create when all-consuming emotions bloom in his soul.
- Also, A. S. Pushkin, like a real psychologist, very accurately describes the state of the hero in different periods of his life. We see how strikingly contrasting are the images of the narrator at the time of the meeting with the "genius of pure beauty" and at the time of his imprisonment in the wilderness. It's like two completely different people.
- In addition, the author touched upon the problem of lack of freedom. He describes not only his physical bondage in exile, but also an inner prison, when a person closes in on himself, fenced off from the world of emotions and bright colors. That is why those days of loneliness and longing became a prison for the poet in every sense.
- The problem of separation appears before the reader as an inevitable but bitter tragedy. Life circumstances are often the cause of a gap that hurts the nerves, and then hides in the depths of memory. The hero even lost a bright memory of his beloved, because the awareness of the loss was unbearable.
Idea
The main idea of the poem is that a person cannot live fully if his heart is deaf and his soul is asleep. Only by opening up to love, its passions, you can truly feel this life.
The meaning of the work is that just one small event, even insignificant for others, can completely change you, your psychological portrait. And if you change yourself, then your attitude to the world around you also changes. So one moment can change your world, both external and internal. You just need not to miss it, not to lose it in the hustle and bustle of days.
Means of artistic expression
In his poem A.S. Pushkin uses a variety of paths. For example, to more vividly convey the state of the hero, the author uses the following epithets: “wonderful moment”, “hopeless sadness”, “tender voice”, “heavenly features”, “noisy bustle”.
We meet works and comparisons in the text, so already in the first quatrain we see that the appearance of the heroine is compared with a fleeting vision, and she herself is compared with the genius of pure beauty. The metaphor “a rebellious storm dispelled former dreams” emphasizes how time unfortunately takes away from the hero his only consolation - the image of his beloved.
So, beautifully and poetically, A.S. Pushkin was able to tell his love story, unnoticed by many, but dear to him.
Interesting? Save it on your wall!
I remember a wonderful moment: You appeared before me, Like a fleeting vision, Like a genius of pure beauty. In the languor of hopeless sadness In the anxieties of the noisy bustle, A gentle voice sounded to me for a long time And sweet features dreamed. Years passed. A rebellious storm has dispelled former dreams, And I forgot your gentle voice, Your heavenly features. In the wilderness, in the darkness of confinement My days dragged on quietly Without a deity, without inspiration, Without tears, without life, without love. The soul has awakened: And here again you appeared, Like a fleeting vision, Like a genius of pure beauty. And the heart beats in rapture, And for him resurrected again And the deity, and inspiration, And life, and tears, and love.
The poem is addressed to Anna Kern, whom Pushkin met long before his forced seclusion in St. Petersburg in 1819. She made an indelible impression on the poet. The next time Pushkin and Kern saw each other only in 1825, when she was visiting the estate of her aunt Praskovya Osipova; Osipova was a neighbor of Pushkin and a good friend of his. It is believed that the new meeting inspired Pushkin to create an epoch-making poem.
The main theme of the poem is love. Pushkin presents a capacious sketch of his life between the first meeting with the heroine and the present moment, indirectly mentioning the main events that happened to the biographical lyrical hero: a link to the south of the country, a period of bitter disappointment in life, in which works of art were created imbued with feelings of genuine pessimism (“ Demon”, “Desert Sower of Freedom”), depressed mood during the period of a new exile to the Mikhailovskoye family estate. However, suddenly comes the resurrection of the soul, the miracle of the rebirth of life, due to the appearance of the divine image of the muse, which brings with it the former joy of creativity and creation, which opens up to the author in a new perspective. It is at the moment of spiritual awakening that the lyrical hero meets the heroine again: “The awakening has come to the soul: And here you are again ...”.
The image of the heroine is essentially generalized and maximally poeticized; it is significantly different from the image that appears on the pages of Pushkin's letters to Riga and friends, created during the period of forced pastime in Mikhailovsky. At the same time, the equal sign is unjustified, as is the identification of the “genius of pure beauty” with the real biographical Anna Kern. The impossibility of recognizing the narrowly biographical background of the poetic message is indicated by the thematic and compositional similarity with another love poetic text called “To Her”, created by Pushkin in 1817.
It is important to remember the idea of inspiration here. Love for the poet is also valuable in the sense of giving creative inspiration, the desire to create. The title stanza describes the first meeting of the poet and his beloved. Pushkin characterizes this moment with very bright, expressive epithets (“a wonderful moment”, “a fleeting vision”, “a genius of pure beauty”). Love for a poet is a deep, sincere, magical feeling that completely captures him. The next three stanzas of the poem describe the next stage in the life of the poet - his exile. A difficult time in the fate of Pushkin, full of life's trials and experiences. This is the time of "languishing hopeless sadness" in the soul of the poet. Parting with his youthful ideals, the stage of growing up (“Scattered former dreams”). Perhaps the poet also had moments of despair (“Without a deity, without inspiration”) The author’s exile is also mentioned (“In the wilderness, in the darkness of imprisonment ...”). The life of the poet seemed to freeze, lost its meaning. Genre - message.

Alexander MAYKAPAR
M.I. Glinka
"I remember a wonderful moment"
Year of creation: 1840. No autograph found. First published by M. Bernard in 1842.
Glinka's romance is an example of that inseparable unity of poetry and music, in which it is almost impossible to imagine Pushkin's poem without the intonation of the composer. The poetic diamond received a worthy musical setting. There is hardly a poet who would not dream of such a frame for his creations.
Chercher la f emme (fr. - look for a woman) - this advice is most welcome if we want to more clearly imagine the birth of a masterpiece. Moreover, it turns out that there are two women involved in its creation, but ... with one last name: Kern - mother Anna Petrovna and daughter Ekaterina Ermolaevna. The first inspired Pushkin to create a poetic masterpiece. The second - Glinka to create a musical masterpiece.
Music of Pushkin. Poem
Yu. Lotman vividly writes about Anna Petrovna Kern in connection with this poem by Pushkin: “A.P. Kern in life was not only beautiful, but also a sweet, kind woman with an unhappy fate. Her true vocation was to be a quiet family life, which she eventually achieved by remarrying after forty years and very happily. But at the moment when she met Pushkin in Trigorskoye, this is a woman who has left her husband and enjoys a rather ambiguous reputation. Pushkin's sincere feeling for A.P. Kern, when it had to be expressed on paper, was characteristically transformed in accordance with the conventional formulas of a love-poetic ritual. Being expressed in verse, it obeyed the laws of romantic lyrics and turned A.P. Kern in "the genius of pure beauty".
The poem is a classic quatrain (quatrain) - classic in the sense that each stanza contains a complete thought.
This poem expresses the concept of Pushkin, according to which the movement forward, that is, development, was conceived by Pushkin as revival:"original, pure days" - "delusions" - "rebirth". Pushkin formulated this idea in different ways in his poetry in the 1920s. And our poem is one of the variations on this theme.
I remember a wonderful moment:
You appeared before me
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.
In the languor of hopeless sadness,
In the anxieties of noisy bustle,
A gentle voice sounded to me for a long time
And dreamed of cute features.
Years passed. Storms gust rebellious
Scattered old dreams
And I forgot your gentle voice
Your heavenly features.
In the wilderness, in the darkness of confinement
My days passed quietly
Without a god, without inspiration,
No tears, no life, no love.
The soul has awakened:
And here you are again
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.
And the heart beats in rapture
And for him they rose again
And deity, and inspiration,
And life, and tears, and love.
Music of Glinka. Romance
In 1826 Glinka met Anna Petrovna. They began a friendship that survived until the death of Glinka. Subsequently, she published "Memoirs of Pushkin, Delvig and Glinka", which tells about many episodes of her friendship with the composer. In the spring of 1839, Glinka fell in love with the daughter of A.P. Kern - Ekaterina Ermolaevna. They intended to get married, but this did not happen. Glinka described the history of his relationship with her in the third part of his Notes. Here is one of the entries (December 1839): “In the winter, mother came and stayed with her sister, then I moved there myself (this was the period of Glinka’s completely deteriorated relationship with his wife Maria Petrovna. - A.M.). E.K. recovered, and I wrote a waltz for the B-dur orchestra for her. Then, I don’t know for what reason, Pushkin’s romance “I remember a wonderful moment.”
Unlike the form of Pushkin's poem - a quatrain with cross rhyme, in Glinka's romance the last line of each stanza is repeated. The laws required it musical forms. The peculiarity of the content side of Pushkin's poem - the completeness of thought in each stanza - Glinka diligently preserved and even strengthened by means of music. It can be argued that the songs of F. Schubert, for example, "Trout", in which the musical accompaniment of the stanzas is strictly consistent with the content of this episode, could serve as an example for him.
The romance of M. Glinka is constructed in such a way that each stanza, in accordance with its literary content, also has its own musical arrangement. Achieving this was of particular concern to Glinka. There is a special mention of this in the notes of A.P. Kern: “[Glinka] took Pushkin’s poems from me, written by his hand:“ I remember a wonderful moment ... ”, to set them to music, and lost them, God forgive him! He wanted to compose music for these words that fully corresponded to their content, and for this it was necessary to write special music for each stanza, and he fussed about this for a long time.
Listen to the sound of a romance, preferably performed by a singer, for example, S. Lemeshev), who penetrated into it meaning, and not just reproducing notes, and you will feel it: it begins with a story about the past - the hero recalls the appearance of a wondrous image to him; the music of the piano introduction sounds in a high register, quietly, lightly, like a mirage ... In the third verse (the third stanza of the poem), Glinka wonderfully conveys in music the image of “storms, a rebellious impulse”: in the accompaniment, the movement itself becomes agitated, the chords sound like rapid pulse beats (during anyway, that's the way it can be performed), throwing up short scale-like passages like flashes of lightning. In music, this technique goes back to the so-called tirats, which are found in abundance in works depicting struggle, striving, impulse. This stormy episode is replaced in the same verse by an episode in which tiratations are heard already fading away, from afar ("... I forgot your gentle voice").
To convey the mood of “backwoods” and “darkness of confinement”, Glinka also finds a solution that is remarkable in terms of expressiveness: the accompaniment becomes chord-like, no stormy passages, the sound is ascetic and “dull”. After this episode, the reprise of the romance sounds especially bright and enthusiastic (the return of the original musical material is the same Pushkin revival), with the words: “The awakening has come to the soul.” reprise musical Glinka exactly matches poetic reprise. The enthusiastic theme of love culminates in the coda of the romance, which is the last stanza of the poem. Here it sounds passionately and excitedly against the background of an accompaniment that wonderfully conveys the beating of the heart "in rapture."
Goethe and Beethoven
For the last time, A.P. Kern and Glinka met in 1855. “When I entered, he received me with gratitude and that feeling of friendship that imprinted our first acquaintance, never changing in his property. (...) Despite the fear of upsetting him too much, I could not stand it and asked (as if I felt that I would not see him again) that he sing Pushkin's romance "I remember a wonderful moment ...", he performed it with pleasure and took me to delight! (…)
Two years later, and precisely on February 3 (on my name day), he was gone! He was buried in the same church in which Pushkin was buried, and in the same place I cried and prayed for the repose of both!
The idea expressed by Pushkin in this poem was not new. What was new was her ideal poetic expression in Russian literature. But as for the heritage of the world - literary and musical, it is impossible not to recall in connection with this Pushkin's masterpiece another masterpiece - a poem by I.V. Goethe "New love - new life" (1775). In the German classic, the idea of rebirth through love develops the idea that Pushkin expressed in the last stanza (and Glinka - in the code) of his poem - "And the heart beats in rapture ..."
New love - new life
Heart, heart, what happened
What confused your life?
You beat yourself up with a new life,
I do not recognize you.
Everything has passed, than you burned,
What loved and desired
All peace, love for work, -
How did you get into trouble?
Boundless, powerful force
This young beauty
This sweet femininity
You are captivated to the grave.
And is change possible?
How to escape, escape from captivity,
Will, wings to gain?
All paths lead to it.
Ah, look, ah, save, -
Around the cheat, he is not his own,
On a wonderful, thin thread
I dance, barely alive.
To live in captivity, in a magic cage,
To be under the shoe of a coquette, -
How can such a disgrace be removed?
Oh, let it go, love, let it go!
(Translated by V. Levik)
In an era closer to Pushkin and Glinka, this poem was set to music by Beethoven and published in 1810 in the cycle Six Songs for Voice with Piano Accompaniment (op. 75). It is noteworthy that Beethoven dedicated his song, like Glinka his romance, to the woman who inspired him. It was Princess Kinskaya. It is possible that Glinka could have known this song, since Beethoven was his idol. Glinka mentions Beethoven and his works many times in his Notes, and in one of his arguments, referring to 1842, he even speaks of him as “fashionable”, and this word is written on the corresponding page of the Notes in red pencil.
Almost at the same time, Beethoven wrote a piano sonata (op. 81a) - one of his few program compositions. Each part of it has a heading: "Farewell", "Parting", "Return" (otherwise "Date"). This is very close to the theme of Pushkin - Glinka! ..
