RACHMANINOV: EKOLU LANAKILA MALUNA OE

     Ua hewa paha ka nui o mākou. Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe naʻauao kahiko: "He kanaka ke lalau." ʻO ka mea pōʻino, aia kekahi mau hoʻoholo hewa koʻikoʻi a i ʻole nā ​​​​hana e hōʻeha i ko mākou ola holoʻokoʻa. ʻO mākou iho ke koho i ke ala e hahai ai: ka mea paʻakikī e alakaʻi iā mākou i kahi moeʻuhane, kahi pahuhopu maikaʻi, a i ʻole, hāʻawi mākou i ka makemake i ka nani a me ka maʻalahi.  he ala e huli pinepine ai he wahahee,  hopena make.

     ʻAʻole i ʻae ʻia kekahi keikikāne akamai loa, koʻu hoalauna, i loko o ka hui hoʻohālike mokulele no kona palaualelo. Ma mua o ka lanakila ʻana i kēia pōʻino, ua koho ʻo ia i ka ʻāpana kaʻa kaʻa, i ʻoluʻolu ma nā ʻano āpau, a ua lilo ʻo ia i poʻokela. Ma hope o nā makahiki he nui, ua loaʻa iā ia nā mana makemakika phenomenal, a ʻo nā mokulele kona kāhea ʻana. Hiki i kekahi ke mihi wale ʻaʻole i koi ʻia kāna talena. E lele ana paha nā ʻano mokulele hou i ka lewa i kēia manawa? Ua lanakila naʻe ka palaualelo.

     ʻO kekahi laʻana. ʻO kahi kaikamahine, koʻu hoa papa, me ka IQ o kahi kanaka akamai loa, mahalo i kona akamai a me kona kūpaʻa, he ala maikaʻi loa i ka wā e hiki mai ana. ʻO kona kupuna kāne a me kona makuakāne he mau diploma ʻoihana. Ua wehe ʻia nā puka i ke Kuhina o ko nā ʻāina ʻē a me ka United Nations Security Council. Malia paha ua lilo ia i mea koʻikoʻi i ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻonāwaliwali ʻana i ka palekana o ka honua a ua iho i lalo i ka moʻolelo o ka diplomacy honua. Akā ʻaʻole hiki i kēia kaikamahine ke lanakila i kona manaʻo ponoʻī, ʻaʻole i hoʻomohala i ka hiki ke loaʻa i kahi hoʻoholo kuʻikahi, a me ka ʻole o kēia, hiki ʻole ke diplomacy. Ua nalowale ka honua i kahi mea hoʻomalu maluhia akamai.

     He aha ka pili o ke mele me ia? – ninau mai oe. A, malia paha, ma hope o ka noʻonoʻo iki ʻana, e ʻike ʻoe i ka pane pololei iā ʻoe iho: Ua ulu nā mea hoʻokani pila mai nā keikikāne a me nā kaikamahine liʻiliʻi. ʻO ia hoʻi, ua hana hewa lākou i kekahi manawa. He mea nui kekahi mea. Me he mea lā ua aʻo lākou e lanakila i nā pale o nā hewa, e uhaʻi i ka pā i hana ʻia i nā pōhaku lepo o ka palaualelo, ka hoʻolohe ʻole, ka huhū, ka haʻaheo, ka wahaheʻe a me ka ʻino.

     Hiki i nā mea hoʻokani pila kaulana ke lilo i kumu hoʻohālike no mākou e ka poʻe ʻōpio o ka hoʻoponopono kūpono i kā mākou mau hewa a me ka hiki ʻole ke hana hou. Malia paha he hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi o kēia ke ola o kahi kanaka naʻauao, ikaika, mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov. Ua hiki iā ia ke hoʻokō i ʻekolu mau hana i kona ola, ʻekolu lanakila ma luna ona, ma luna o kāna mau hewa: i ka wā kamaliʻi, ʻōpio a i ka wā makua. Ua pio nā poʻo ʻekolu o ka deragona iā ia…  A i kēia manawa ua kūpono nā mea a pau.

     Ua hānauʻiaʻo Sergei i ka makahiki 1873. ma ke kauhale o Semenovo, ka mokuʻo Novgorod, ma kahiʻohana hanohano. ʻAʻole i aʻo piha ʻia ka moʻolelo o ka ʻohana Rachmaninov; he nui na mea pohihihi e waiho nei. Ma hope o ka ho'oholo'ana i kekahi o ia mau mea, hiki iā'oe ke ho'omaopopo i ke kumu, he mea ho'okani pila maika'i loa a he 'ano ikaika, akā na'e, ua kānalua'o ia iā ia iho i kona ola a pau. ʻO kāna mau hoaaloha pili wale nō ʻo ia i ʻae ai: "ʻAʻole wau i manaʻoʻiʻo iaʻu iho."

      Wahi a ka moʻolelo ʻohana o nā Rachmaninovs, ʻelima haneli mau makahiki i hala aku nei, hele mai kahi mamo a ke aliʻi Moldavian ʻo Stephen III ka Nui (1429-1504), ʻo Ivan Vechin, e lawelawe ma Moscow mai ka mokuʻāina ʻo Moldavian. I ka bapetizo ʻana o kāna keiki, hāʻawi ʻo Ivan iā ia i ka inoa bapetizo ʻo Vasily. A ʻo ka inoa ʻelua o ka honua, ua koho lākou i ka inoa ʻo Rakhmanin.  ʻO kēia inoa, mai nā ʻāina Hikina Hikina, ʻo ia hoʻi: "ʻakaʻaha, mālie, aloha." Ma hope koke iho o ka hōʻea ʻana i Moscow, ua nalowale ka "ʻelele" o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Moldova i ka mana a me ke koʻikoʻi i nā maka o Rūsia, ʻoiai ua lilo ʻo Moldova i hilinaʻi iā Turkey no kekahi mau kenekulia.

     ʻO ka moʻolelo mele o ka ʻohana Rachmaninov, hoʻomaka paha me Arkady Alexandrovich, ʻo ia ke kupuna kāne o Sergei. Ua aʻo ʻo ia e pāʻani i ka piano mai ka mea hoʻokani pila Irish ʻo John Field, i hele mai i Rusia. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Arkady Alexandrovich he piano akamai. Ua ʻike pinepine au i kaʻu moʻopuna. Ua ʻae ʻo ia i nā haʻawina mele a Sergei.

     ʻO ka makuakāne o Sergei, ʻo Vasily Arkadyevich (1841-1916), he mea hoʻokani pila. ʻAʻole au i hana nui me kaʻu keiki. I kona wā ʻōpiopio, ua lawelawe ʻo ia ma kahi regiment hussar. Aloha i ka leʻaleʻa. Ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i ke ʻano o ka noʻonoʻo ʻole a me ka palaka.

     ʻO Māmā, ʻo Lyubov Petrovna (nee Butakova), ke kaikamahine a ke alakaʻi o ka Arakcheevsky Cadet Corps, General PI Butakova. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e pāʻani mele me kāna keiki ʻo Seryozha i kona piha ʻana i ʻelima mau makahiki. Ua ʻike koke ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he keiki akamai i ke mele.

      I ka makahiki 1880, i ka makahiki ehiku o Sergei, ua banekorupa kona makuakane. Ua haʻalele ʻia ka ʻohana me ka ʻole o kahi mea e ola ai. Pono e kūʻai ʻia ka waiwai ʻohana. Ua hoʻouna ʻia ke keiki i St. Petersburg e noho me nā ʻohana. I kēia manawa, ua kaʻawale nā ​​mākua. ʻO ke kumu o ka hemo ʻana, ʻo ka palaualelo o ka makua kāne. Pono mākou e hōʻoia me ka minamina no ka loaʻa ʻole o ka ʻohana ikaika o ke keiki.

     I kēlā mau makahiki  Ua wehewehe ʻia ʻo Sergei ma ke ʻano he keikikāne lahilahi a lōʻihi me nā hiʻohiʻona nui a me nā hiʻohiʻona nui a me nā lima lōʻihi. ʻO kēia kāna i hālāwai ai me kāna hoʻāʻo koʻikoʻi mua.

      I ka makahiki 1882, i ka makahiki ʻeiwa, ua hoʻonoho ʻia ʻo Seryozha i ke keʻena ʻōpio o ka Conservatory o St. Petersburg. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻo ka nele o ka nānā koʻikoʻi mai nā pākeke, ke kūʻokoʻa mua, ua alakaʻi kēia mau mea i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua aʻo maikaʻi ʻo ia a haʻalele pinepine i nā papa. Ma nā hoʻokolohua hope loaʻa iaʻu nā māka maikaʻi ʻole ma nā kumuhana he nui. Ua hoʻonele ʻia kāna haʻawina. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻo ia i kāna kālā liʻiliʻi (ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia i kahi dime no ka meaʻai), ʻo ia wale nō ka lawa no ka berena a me ke kī, no nā kumu ʻē aʻe, no ka laʻana, ke kūʻai ʻana i tiketi no ka skating rink.

      Ua ulu ka deragona Serezha i kona poʻo mua.

      Ua hoʻāʻo ka poʻe mākua e hoʻololi i ke kūlana. Ua hoʻoili lākou iā ia i ka makahiki 1885. i Moscow no ke kolu o ka makahiki o ke keʻena ʻōpio o Moscow  conservatory. Ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Sergei i ka papa o Professor NS Zvereva. Uaʻaeʻia e noho ke keikikāne me kaʻohana o ke kauka, akā i hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, i ka pihaʻana o Rachmaninov i kaʻumikumamāono, ua neʻeʻo ia i kona mau hoahānau, nā Satins. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua lilo ʻo Zverev i kanaka ʻino loa, ʻaʻole naʻe, a ua paʻakikī kēia i ka pilina ma waena o lākou a hiki i ka palena.

     ʻO ka manaʻo o ka hoʻololi ʻana i kahi kula e hoʻololi i ka manaʻo o Sergei i kāna mau haʻawina e lilo ia i mea hewa loa inā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i makemake e hoʻololi. 'O Sergei pono'ī ka mea nui i ka 'oia'i'o mai ka palaualelo a me ke kolohe  ma ke kumu o ka nui o na hooikaika ana, ua lilo oia i kanaka hana ikaika, a'o. ʻO wai ka mea i manaʻo i ka manawa e lilo ʻo Rachmaninov i mea koi a koʻikoʻi iā ia iho. I kēia manawa ua ʻike ʻoe ʻaʻole hiki koke mai ka holomua i ka hana ʻana iā ʻoe iho. Pono kākou e hakakā no kēia.

       He nui ka poʻe i ʻike iā Sergei ma mua o kona hoʻololi ʻana  mai St. Petersburg a ma hope iho, kāhāhā lākou i nā loli ʻē aʻe o kāna ʻano. Ua aʻo ʻo ia ʻaʻole e lohi. Hoʻolālā maopopo ʻo ia i kāna hana a hoʻokō pono i nā mea i hoʻolālā ʻia. He mea ʻē iā ia ka ʻoluʻolu a me ka ʻoluʻolu iā ia iho. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, ua manaʻo nui ʻo ia i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hemolele i nā mea āpau. He ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ia a ʻaʻole makemake i ka hoʻokamani.

      ʻO ka hana nui iā ia iho i alakaʻi ʻia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua hāʻawi ʻo Rachmaninov i waho i ka manaʻo o kahi kanaka imperious, integral, kaohi. ʻŌlelo mālie, mālie, mālie. Ua akahele loa ʻo ia.

      Iloko o ka ikaika-makemake, iki hoohenehene superman noho i ka mua Seryozha mai  noho kamaliʻi mamao ʻole. ʻO kona mau hoa pili wale nō i ʻike iā ia penei. ʻO kēlā ʻano pālua a me ke ʻano kūʻē o Rachmaninov i lilo i mea pahū i hiki ke hoʻā i loko ona i kēlā me kēia manawa. A ua hana maoli kēia i kekahi mau makahiki ma hope, ma hope o kona puka ʻana me kahi mekala gula nui mai ka Moscow Conservatory a loaʻa iā ia kahi diploma ma ke ʻano he haku mele a me ka piano. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ma ʻaneʻi ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia nā haʻawina kūleʻa a Rachmaninov a me nā hana ma hope o ke kahua mele e kāna ʻikepili maikaʻi loa: pitch absolute, very subtle, refined, sophisticated.

    I loko o kāna mau makahiki o ke aʻo ʻana ma ka conservatory, ua kākau ʻo ia i kekahi mau hana, ʻo kekahi o ia, "Prelude in C sharp minor," ʻo ia kekahi o kāna mea kaulana loa. I ka makahiki ʻumikūmāiwa, ua haku ʻo Sergei i kāna opera mua "Aleko" (thesis work) ma muli o ka hana a AS Pushkin "Gypsies". Ua makemake nui ʻo PI i ka opera. Tchaikovsky.

     Ua ho'okō 'o Sergei Vasilievich e lilo i ho'okahi o nā mea ho'okani piano maika'i loa ma ka honua, he mea ho'okani akamai a akamai loa. ʻO ka laulā, ka unahi, ka palette o nā waihoʻoluʻu, nā ʻenehana kala, a me nā aka o ko Rachmaninov akamai i ka hana ʻana he palena ʻole maoli. Ua hoihoi ʻo ia i ka poʻe connoisseurs o ke mele piano me kona hiki ke hoʻokō i ka hōʻike kiʻekiʻe loa i nā nuances maʻalahi o ke mele. ʻO kāna pōmaikaʻi nui ʻo ia kāna wehewehe ʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa o ka hana e hana ʻia nei, hiki ke hoʻoikaika ikaika i ka manaʻo o nā kānaka. He mea paʻakikī ke manaʻoʻiʻo i kēia kanaka akamai i hoʻokahi manawa  loaʻa nā māka maikaʻi ʻole ma nā kumuhana mele.

      Aia nō i koʻu wā ʻōpiopio  ua hōʻike ʻo ia i nā mākau maikaʻi loa i ka ʻoihana alakaʻi. ʻO kona ʻano a me ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana me ka mea hoʻokani pila, ua hoʻomāʻewaʻewa a hoʻokalakupua i nā kānaka. I ka makahiki iwakāluakūmāhā, ua kono ʻia ʻo ia e alakaʻi ma Moscow Private Opera o Savva Morozov.

     ʻO wai ka mea i manaʻo e hoʻopau ʻia kāna ʻoihana kūleʻa no ʻehā mau makahiki holoʻokoʻa a e nalowale loa ʻo Rachmaninov i ka hiki ke haku mele i kēia manawa…  Kau hou mai la ke poo weliweli o ka deragona maluna ona.

     Malaki 15, 1897 ka hoʻomaka mua ma St. Petersburg o kāna Mua  symphony (conductor AK Glazunov). He iwakāluakūmāhā mau makahiki o Sergei. 'Ōlelo lākouʻaʻole i lawa ka hana o ka symphony. Eia nō naʻe, me he mea lā ʻo ke kumu o ka hāʻule ʻana ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka "nui" hou, ʻano hou o ka hana ponoʻī. Ua hāʻule ʻo Rachmaninov i ke ʻano maʻamau o ka haʻalele ʻana i nā mele kuʻuna kahiko, e ʻimi ana, i kekahi manawa ma nā kumu kūʻai, no nā ʻano hou o ke kiʻi. I kēlā manawa paʻakikī iā ia, ua nalowale kona manaʻoʻiʻo iā ia iho he mea hoʻoponopono.

     He paʻakikī loa nā hopena o kahi hoʻomaka mua ʻole. No kekahi mau makahiki, ua kaumaha ʻo ia a ua kokoke ʻo ia i ka hōʻeha hopohopo. ʻAʻole ʻike paha ka honua e pili ana i ka mea hoʻokani pila.

     Me ka hoʻoikaika nui o ka makemake, a me ka mahalo i ka ʻōlelo aʻo a kahi loea loea, hiki iā Rachmaninov ke lanakila i ka pilikia. Ua hōʻailona ʻia ka lanakila ma luna o kekahi ma ke kākau ʻana i ka makahiki 1901. ʻElua piano concerto. Ua lanakila ʻia nā hopena pōʻeleʻele o kekahi puʻupuʻu o ka hopena.

      ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia iwakālua i hōʻailona ʻia e ka piʻi kiʻekiʻe loa. I loko o kēia manawa, ua hana ʻo Sergei Vasilyevich i nā hana maikaʻi loa: ka opera "Francesca da Rimini", Piano Concerto No. 3,  Symphonic poem "Island of the Dead", poem "Bells".

    Ua hāʻule ke kolu o ka hoʻāʻo iā Rachmaninov ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana me kona ʻohana mai Rūsia ma hope koke o ke kipi o 1917. Malia paha he mea koʻikoʻi ka hakakā ma waena o ke aupuni hou a me ka poʻe elite kahiko, nā ʻelele o ka papa aliʻi mua i ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ia ʻano paʻakikī. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka wahine a Sergei Vasilyevich mai kahi ʻohana aliʻi kahiko, mai nā Rurikovichs mai, nāna i hāʻawi iā Rūsia i ka galaxy holoʻokoʻa o nā kānaka aliʻi. Ua makemake ʻo Rachmaninov e pale i kona ʻohana mai ka pilikia.

     ʻO ka hoʻomaha ʻana me nā hoaaloha, ke ʻano ʻokoʻa hou, a me ka makemake i ka ʻāina makuahine ua kaumaha ʻo Rachmaninoff. Ua lohi loa ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke ola ma nā ʻāina ʻē. Ua ulu ka hopohopo a me ka hopohopo e pili ana i ka hopena o Russia a me ka hopena o ko lākou ʻohana. ʻO ka hopena, ua alakaʻi nā manaʻo pessimistic i kahi pilikia hoʻomohala lōʻihi. Ua hauʻoli ka nahesa Gorynych!

      No ka aneane ʻumi makahiki ʻaʻole hiki iā Sergei Vasilievich ke haku mele. ʻAʻole i hana ʻia kahi hana nui. Ua loaʻa iā ia ke kālā (a lanakila loa) ma o nā ʻaha mele. 

     Ma ke ʻano he kanaka makua, paʻakikī ke hakakā me aʻu iho. Ua lanakila hou nā mana ʻino iā ia. No ka hō'ai'ē o Rachmaninov, ua hiki iā ia ke ola i nā pilikia no ke kolu o ka manawa a lanakila i nā hopena o ka ha'alele'ana iā Rusia. A i ka hopena, ʻaʻohe mea pili inā he hoʻoholo e neʻe aku  kuhi hewa paha. ʻO ka mea nui, ua lanakila hou ʻo ia!

       Hoʻihoʻi ʻia i ka noʻonoʻo. A ʻoiai ua kākau ʻo ia i ʻeono wale nō mau hana, he mau hana nui lākou a pau o ka papa honua. ʻO kēia ka Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 4, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini for Piano and Orchestra, Symphony No. 3. I ka makahiki 1941 i haku ai i kāna hana nui loa, "Symphonic Dances."

      Malia paha,  ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka lanakila ma luna o kekahi iā Rachmaninov wale nō a me kona makemake. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hele mai ke mele e kōkua iā ia. ʻO ia paha ka mea nāna i hoʻopakele iā ia i loko o nā manawa kaumaha. ʻAʻole pehea ʻoe e hoʻomanaʻo ai i ka hanana pōʻino i ʻike ʻia e Marietta Shaginyan i hana ʻia ma luna o ka moku e piholo ana ʻo Titanic me ka mea hoʻokani pila i make. Piʻolo mālie ka moku i lalo o ka wai. ʻO nā wāhine a me nā keiki wale nō i pakele. ʻAʻole lawa nā wahi ʻē aʻe a pau i loko o nā waʻa a i ʻole nā ​​lole ola. A i kēia manawa weliweli i hoʻomaka ai ke kani! ʻO Beethoven ia… Ua hāmau ka orkestra i ka nalo ʻana o ka moku ma lalo o ka wai… Ua kōkua ke mele i ke ola o ka pōʻino…

        Hāʻawi ke mele i ka manaolana, hoʻohui i nā kānaka i nā manaʻo, nā manaʻo, nā hana. Alakaʻi i ke kaua. Lawe ke mele i ke kanaka mai kahi honua pōʻino ʻole i ka ʻāina moeʻuhane a hauʻoli.

          Malia paha, ʻo ke mele wale nō i hoʻopakele iā Rachmaninov mai nā manaʻo pessimistic i kipa aku iā ia i nā makahiki hope o kona ola: "ʻAʻole wau e ola, ʻaʻole wau i ola, manaʻolana wau a hiki i ke kanahā oʻu, akā ma hope o ke kanahā, hoʻomanaʻo wau ..."

          I kēia mau lā ua noʻonoʻo ʻo ia e pili ana iā Rusia. Ua kūkākūkā ʻo ia no ka hoʻi ʻana i kona ʻāina hānau. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke Kaua Honua II, hāʻawi ʻo ia i kāna kālā i nā pono o ke alo, me ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi mokulele kaua no ka Red Army. Ua hoʻokokoke ʻo Rachmaninov iā Victory e like me kona hiki.
