Модест Петрович Мусоргский - Gnomus - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Gnomus (lat. Gnome). Minor Minor. A Christmas tree toy was drawn on the not preserved sketch of the gaman, depicting twin tongs (“Nutcracker”) in the form of a dwarf on crooked legs. Initially, the motionless figure of the gnome at Mussorgsky comes to life. The dynamic play conveys the rhythm and twists of the melody of the streaming gnome with the fractured rhythm and the turns of the melody, the listener “observes” how he rushes from place to place and freezes. The chosen tonality of Minor Minor is a rather gloomy, but unstable harmony and short forswalls at the ends of the phrases give music a “toy” shade, pushing the tragic to the sphere of fairy tale.

In the middle part, expressing a more deep characteristic of the character, a dwarf, one of the interpretations, as if stopping and begins to reflect (tense “swing” of bass) or simply tries to relax, from time to time, as if frightening, suspecting the danger (repetition of broken phrases from the first part) . Each attempt at a calm stop ends with a scarecrow-lane passage. Finally - the dwarf never found rest - the middle part goes into a loud (fortissimo) climax - a chromatically descending line that tragically sound and conveying suffering and despair.

Then the theme of the first part returns (at some distance), and in the end it is “blown away” by a quick passage, taking the impressions of the gnome with it.

(Promenade), La-Bemol Major-Intermedia sounds, already in other registers and with a new harmony, quietly and thoughtfully, creating a transition to the next picture.
