Однажды слеза сказала улыбке :

" Завидую твоей радости "

Улыбка ответила :

" Ошибаешься Я - маска твоей боли ! "

One day a tear said to a smile:

"I envy your joy"

The smile replied:

"You're wrong I am the mask of your pain!"

OTD in Music History: Important Russian “nationalist” composer Modest Mussorgsky (1839 – 1881) is born into a wealthy and land-owning Russian family. Mussorgsky began receiving piano lessons from his mother (a trained pianist) at the age of six. He progressed rapidly, and, at the age of ten, he and his brother were taken to Saint Petersburg to continue their studies (which included music) at an elite school. Mussorgsky's parents had also planned the move to Saint Petersburg so that both their sons would renew a longstanding family tradition of military service. Accordingly, Mussorgsky was duly enrolled in the Cadet School of the Guards at the age of 13. Unfortunately, the school was a brutal environment – and it probably instilled in young Mussorgsky the drinking habits which would ultimately lead him down to the path to terminal alcoholism. (According to another former student, the Head of the Academy at that time "was proud when a cadet returned from leave drunk with champagne.”) Mussorgsky’s considerable skills as a pianist made him popular with his fellow-cadets, however, and he spent many evenings playing popular dances interspersed with his own improvisations. In October 1856, the 17-year-old Mussorgsky met the 22-year-old physician Alexander Borodin (1833 - 1887) while both men were serving at a military hospital. Even more portentous was Mussorgsky’s introduction just a few months later to Alexander Dargomyzhsky (1813 - 1869) – who at the time was the most important Russian composer after Mikhail Glinka (1804 - 1857). Dargomyzhsky was so impressed with Mussorgsky's pianism that he invited Mussorgsky to attend his soirées, and it was there that Mussorgsky met Cesar Cui (1835 – 1918) and Mily Balakirev (1837 – 1910) – and, through Balakirev, Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844 - 1908). Thus the core constituency of the historically important Russian “nationalist” school of composers known as “The Mighty Five” was formed… PICTURED: A c. 1920s real photo postcard showing the middle-aged Mussorgsky, with a very solid mullet.

For those not tapped into Australian politics, King Charles is in Australia to conduct his "historic first tour to the commonwealth realm" i.e visting countries that King Charles is supposedly a monarch to.

Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe had requested an audience with King Charles for weeks prior to this visit, she wrote countless letters to speak to him. Unlike other commonwealth nations and other former Brisitish colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never formed. Their land was never ceded to the British Crown. After being denied and ignored, Lidia Thorpe, draped in a traditional possum skin cloak, stormed in the Great Hall during the reception for Charles at Parliament House in the capital shouting the following:

I literally can't even look at these photos without getting goosebumps.
