V. Astafiev should be... About what? (about music).

The introduction could be like this:
The French writer Stendhal said: “Music, when
she is perfect, leads the heart to exactly the same
state,
which
you experience
enjoying
the presence of the beloved being, that is, what she gives,
undoubtedly the brightest happiness possible
not on the ground."
Perhaps such a beginning if you don’t remember the author
quotes or quotes verbatim:
One (French) writer said that music gives
for a person the brightest happiness that is possible is not
earth, but influences the human soul as strongly as
Love".

Commentary on the formulated
source text problem
Discussing the role of music in human life, writer V.
Astafiev speaks about the famous Dome Cathedral, about
sublime, divine sound of the organ, which
makes a person forget about the bad, evil and dividing
people. Music unites everyone gathered in the hall, enlightens
souls (“It is being cleansed, the soul…”, “the whole world is hiding
breath"). The text is built on contrasts: “war,
blood, fratricide...” – “good news”, “music”, “sun”.
The author admires music, its power and beauty (actively
uses comparisons: sounds, “like incense smoke,” metaphors;
interrogative and exclamatory sentences. Astafiev
addresses the Dome Cathedral as if it were alive with the words
gratitude for this spiritual cleansing and enlightenment.

Mental turmoil, the absurdity of a hectic life, petty
passions, everyday worries - all of this remains in
another world...
She is being cleansed, the soul, and... this... our formidable
the world...is ready...to fall to its knees...to fall withered
mouth to the holy spring of goodness...
Everything is changing around.
thank you for the happiness, for the delight and faith in reason
human,... thank you for the miracle of resurrecting faith in
life.
The author believes that music has a huge
strength, it can excite human
soul, change your attitude towards the world around you.
“Mental turmoil, the absurdity of a vain life,
petty passions, everyday worries - all, all of this

The narrator is convinced that only music
will save the world and each of us from
internal decay, will help better
understand yourself.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE AUTHOR'S POSITION?
If the problem of the text is formulated in the form of a question, then the position
the author is the answer to the question. In order to identify the position
author, try to answer the following questions: “What
did the author want to say when creating the text?”, “How does the author evaluate
the specific situation being described, the actions of the characters?”
The position of the author of a journalistic text is usually revealed
quite simple. It is much more difficult to determine the author's
point of view in a literary text. And here it will come to the rescue
good knowledge of visual and expressive means, so
how exactly through their analysis we can determine the relationship
the author to his characters, to the problem.

Viktor Petrovich Astafiev, the author of the story “The Dome Cathedral,” was born in troubled times and swallowed in full all the troubles and misfortunes that fate could have prepared for him. From an early age, life did not spoil him: first his mother died, and Victor could not come to terms with it until the end of his life; later his father brought a new wife into the house, but she could not stand the boy. So he ended up on the street. Later, Viktor Petrovich would write in his biography that he began an independent life suddenly and without any preparation.

Master of literature and hero of his time

The literary life of V.P. Astafiev will be quite eventful, and his works will be loved by all readers, from the smallest to the most serious.

Astafiev’s story “The Dome Cathedral” undoubtedly occupied one of the most honorable places in his literary biography and, even years later, continues to find connoisseurs among the modern generation.

V. Astafiev, “Dome Cathedral”: summary

In a hall crowded with people, organ music sounds, which gives the lyrical hero various associations. He analyzes these sounds, compares them either with the high and ringing sounds of nature, or with the hissing and low peals of thunder. Suddenly, his whole life appears before his eyes - his soul, the earth, and the world. He remembers the war, pain, losses and, amazed by the sound of the organ, is ready to kneel before the greatness of the beautiful.

Despite the fact that the hall is full of people, the lyrical hero continues to feel lonely. Suddenly a thought flashes through his mind: he wants everything to collapse, all executioners, murderers, and music to sound in people’s souls.

He talks about human existence, about death, about the path of life, about the significance of a little person in this big world and understands that the Dome Cathedral is a place where gentle music lives, where all applause and other exclamations are prohibited, that this is a house of peace and tranquility . The lyrical hero bows his soul before the cathedral and thanks it with all his heart.

Analysis of the work “Dome Cathedral”

Now let's take a closer look at the story that Astafiev wrote (“Dome Cathedral”). Analysis and comments on the story can be presented as follows.

From the first lines, the reader observes the author’s admiration for the majestic work of architectural art - the Dome Cathedral. Viktor Petrovich had to visit this cathedral more than once, which he soon fell in love with.
The building of the Dome Cathedral itself, located in Riga, has only partially survived to this day. Made in the Rococo style, the cathedral was built according to the design of foreign sculptors and architects, invited specifically to erect a new structure that would resonate for centuries and remain a wonderful reminder to subsequent generations of bygone times.

But what made the cathedral a real attraction was the organ, which has incredible acoustic power. Great virtuoso composers wrote their works specifically for this majestic organ and gave concerts there, in the cathedral. Thanks to the assonances and dissonances that V.P. Astafiev skillfully uses at the beginning of the story, the reader can feel himself in his place. The melodies of the organ, compared with the peals of thunder and the roar of waves, with the sounds of a harpsichord and a ringing stream, reach us seemingly through space and time...

The writer tries to compare the sounds of the organ with his thoughts. He understands that all those terrible memories, pain, grief, worldly vanity and endless problems - everything disappeared in an instant. The sound of the organ has such majestic power. This passage affirms the author’s point of view that solitude with high, time-tested music can work miracles and heal spiritual wounds, and this is exactly what Astafiev wanted to say in his work. “The Dome Cathedral” is rightfully one of his deepest philosophical works.

The image of loneliness and the soul in the story

And then, like a bolt from the blue, the hero is struck by a thought: he understands that at this very moment someone may be trying to destroy this cathedral. Endless thoughts swarm in his head, and the soul, healed by the sounds of the organ, is ready to die overnight for this divine melody.

The music stopped sounding, but left an indelible imprint on the soul and heart of the author. He, being impressed, analyzes every sound he hears and cannot help but simply say “thank you.”

The lyrical hero received healing from accumulated problems, grief and the killing bustle of the big city.

Genre of the Dome Cathedral

What else can be said about the story “The Dome Cathedral” (Astafiev)? It is difficult to determine the genre of a work, because it contains designations of several genres. “The Dome Cathedral” is written in the essay genre, reflecting the author’s internal state and impressions of one life event. Viktor Astafiev first published “The Dome Cathedral” in 1971. The story was included in the “Zatesi” cycle.

“Cathedral of the Dome”: essay plan

The Dome Cathedral is a place of music, silence and peace of mind.
An atmosphere filled with music that evokes many associations.
Only the sounds of music can touch the strings of the human soul so subtly and deeply.
Getting rid of burdens, mental heaviness and accumulated negativity under the influence of a wonderful medicine.
Gratitude of the lyrical hero for healing.

In conclusion

It is worth noting that the author undoubtedly has the ability to feel music so much, to be healed under its influence and to convey his inner state to the reader with subtle, gentle words. Victor Astafiev deserves respect as a phenomenon of our time. And everyone should definitely read Viktor Astafiev’s work “The Dome Cathedral”.

(41)3 that’s it, thank you for everything!
Music occupies a special place in the life of every person.
It’s amazing how notes, an instrument and a musician’s talent can have a beneficial effect on a person’s soul, making them rethink what we seem to regard as immutable truths.
This is a special type of art, the power of which could hardly be compared with anything else. So what is the role of music in human life? It is this problem that Viktor Petrovich Astafiev raises in the proposed passage.
The author is in the Riga Dome Church, he is fascinated by the music, which, “like incense smoke,” hovers in the air. Viktor Petrovich notes that at this time, for him, what worries us in everyday life does not exist. All this is there, outside the walls of the church, where these magical motives do not exist.
Rhetorical questions overwhelm him, forcing him to think about the cruelty of man, the futility of wars, blood and fratricide. The hall is full and empty. Antithesis helps to abstract from the human form, because now in the church there is only a “subdued, disembodied soul” and music.
The world, and with it Viktor Petrovich, are ready to “fall to their knees, repent, fall with a withered mouth to the holy spring of goodness.” The author uses an extended metaphor to show how music affects a sinful person.
The author's position is extremely clear. Music has the power to heal people's hearts. Under its influence, a person’s state of mind and his view of the world around him changes. Viktor Petrovich thanks music and its

Book of Zatesi. Author – Astafiev Viktor Petrovich. Contents – Dome Cathedral

The connection was often broken, and we had a lot of work to do. The telephone line was stretched across the park and went into the basement of the master's house, where the company commander arrived and settled with his servants.
According to a very clever procedure that was not established by us, if the connection was broken, we, the already confused and delayed signalmen from the front line, had to correct it under fire, and the company signalmen had to scold us, since we did not do it very quickly.
In turn, company signalmen ran communications to the battalion; battalion - to the regiment, and then I don’t know what was done and how, then the connection was rarely damaged, and the signalmen already called themselves telephone operators, they were well-fed, washed and looked at us, trench shrews, with lordly arrogance.
While running along the communication line, I more than once noticed Abdrashitov digging in the park.

Small, with clumsily wrapped windings, he was already covered in clay and plaster, emaciated and completely blackened, and to my lively “salaam alaikum!”, smiling quietly and guiltily, he answered: “Hello!” I asked him if he had eaten.

The goddess above the fountain was repaired by Abdrashitov and the Pole. They covered the wounds on her with unclean plaster, collected the breast, but collected it without the nipple. The goddess became ugly, and even though the bloodless veins appeared on her, she did not cheer up at all. The patched goddess still mournfully bent over the silent fountain, in which the fish were rotting and the slimy lilies were turning black.

The Germans got wind of something about our offensive and watered the front line with everything they had at their disposal.
My partner and I scoured the park, repaired communications and cursed everyone who came to mind.
On a rainy, cloudy morning, our guns struck - artillery barrage began, the ground shook under our feet, the last fruits fell from the trees in the park, and a leaf began to spin overhead.

The platoon commander ordered me to unwind the communications and, with a coil and a telephone, follow them into the attack. I happily rushed along the line to reel in the wires: although it was cozy in the master’s hut and estate, I was still tired - it’s time and honor to know, it’s time to go forward, fooling the German is still far away from Berlin.

The shells rushed over me with multi-voiced screams, purrs and whistles.
The Germans responded rarely and randomly - I was already an experienced soldier and knew: the German infantry was now lying with its nose buried in the ground, and prayed to God that the Russians’ supply of shells would soon run out.
“Let it not end! They’ll be hammering for an hour and ten minutes until they crush you, the villains,” I thought with a feverish elation. During artillery preparation it’s always like this: it’s creepy, it shakes everything inside and at the same time the passions in the soul flare up.
As I was running with a coil around my neck, I stumbled, and my thoughts were cut short: the goddess Venus stood without a head, and her hands were torn off, only her palm remained, with which she covered her shame, and near the fountain covered with earth, Abdrashitov and the Pole were lying, covered white fragments and plaster dust. Both of them were killed. It was before the morning that the Germans, concerned about the silence, launched an artillery attack on the front line and fired a lot of shells into the park.
The Pole, I established, was the first to be wounded - a piece of plaster was not yet dry and crumbling in his fingers. Abdrashitov tried to pull the Pole into the pool, under the fountain, but did not have time to do this - they were covered again, and they both calmed down.

A bucket lay on its side, and a gray plaster dough fell out of it, the broken head of the goddess was lying there, and with one glassless eye it looked into the sky, screaming with a crooked hole punched below the nose. The mutilated, disfigured goddess Venus stood. And at her feet, in a pool of blood, lay two people - a Soviet soldier and a gray-haired Polish citizen, trying to heal the beaten beauty.

House... House... House...
Dome Cathedral, with a cockerel on the spire. Tall, stone, it sounds like over Riga.
The vaults of the cathedral are filled with the singing of the organ. From the sky, from above, there floats a rumble, then thunder, then the gentle voice of lovers, then the call of the vestals, then the roulades of a horn, then the sounds of a harpsichord, then the talk of a rolling stream...
And again, a menacing wave of raging passions demolishes everything, again a roar.
The sounds sway like incense smoke. They are thick and tangible. They are everywhere, and everything is filled with them: the soul, the earth, the world.
Everything froze, stopped.
Mental turmoil, the absurdity of a vain life, petty passions, everyday worries - all, all of this remained in another place, in another world, in another life, distant from me, there, somewhere.
“Maybe everything that happened before was a dream? Wars, blood, fratricide, supermen playing with human destinies in order to establish themselves above the world.
Why do we live so tensely and difficultly on our land? For what? Why?"
House. House. House…
Blagovest. Music. The darkness has disappeared. The sun has risen. Everything is changing around.

There is no cathedral with electric candles, with ancient sculptures, with glass, toys and candies depicting heavenly life. There is a world and I, subdued with awe, ready to kneel before the greatness of beauty.

The hall is full of people, old and young, Russian and non-Russian, party and non-party, evil and good, vicious and bright, tired and enthusiastic, everyone.
And there is no one in the hall!
There is only my humble, disembodied soul, it oozes with incomprehensible pain and tears of quiet delight.
She is being cleansed, my soul, and it seems to me that the whole world is holding its breath, this bubbling, menacing world of ours is thinking, ready to fall to its knees with me, to repent, to fall with its withered mouth to the holy spring of goodness...

And suddenly, like an obsession, like a blow: and yet at this time somewhere they are aiming at this cathedral, at this great music... with guns, bombs, rockets...

This can't be true! It shouldn't be!
And if there is. If we are destined to die, burn, disappear, then let now, let at this moment, fate punish us for all our evil deeds and vices. Since we cannot live freely, together, then at least let our death be free, and our soul depart to another world lighter and lighter.
We all live together. We die separately. It's been like this for centuries. It was like that until this moment.
So let's do it now, let's do it quickly, while there is no fear. Don't turn people into animals before killing them. Let the vaults of the cathedral collapse, and instead of crying about the bloody, criminal path, people will carry into their hearts the music of a genius, and not the bestial roar of a murderer.

Dome Cathedral! Dome Cathedral! Music! What have you done to me? You are still trembling under the arches, still washing the soul, chilling the blood, illuminating everything around with light, knocking on armored breasts and aching hearts, but a man in black is already coming out and bowing from above. A little man, trying to convince him that it was he who performed the miracle. A wizard and a singer, a nonentity and a God, to whom everything is subject: both life and death.

Dome Cathedral. Dome Cathedral.
There's no applause here. Here people cry from the tenderness that stuns them. Everyone cries for their own reasons. But together everyone cries that the beautiful dream is ending, that the magic is short-lived, the deceptively sweet oblivion and endless torment.

Thick morning fog fell on Lake Kubenskoye. You can't see the shores, you can't see the world. I didn’t notice how and when the sun rose. The fogs moved away towards the shores, the lake became wider, the ice on it seemed to float and sway.
And suddenly, above this moving ice, white in the distance and gray near, I saw a temple floating in the air. He, like a light toy made of papier-mâché, swayed and bounced in the sunny haze, and the fogs swayed him on their waves.
This temple floated towards me, light, white, fabulously beautiful. I put down my fishing rod, fascinated.

Behind the fog, a brush of forests appeared like sharp peaks. The distant factory chimney and the roofs of the houses were already visible. And the temple still hovered above the ice, sinking lower and lower, and the sun played in its crown, and it was all illuminated with light, and the haze glowed under it.

Finally, the temple sank onto the ice and became established. I silently pointed at him, thinking that I was dreaming, that I had actually fallen asleep and that a vision had appeared to me out of the fog.
“Save the stone,” my comrade said briefly.
And then I remembered how my friends told me about some kind of Spas Stone. But I thought that a stone was just a stone.
And here is the Spas-stone - a temple! Monastery!
Without taking his eyes off the fishing rod, my friend muttered to me the story of this diva. In honor of the Russian warrior-prince, who fought for the unification of the northern lands, this monument-monastery was erected.

The legend says that the prince, fleeing from his enemies, began to drown in heavy armor and was already going to the bottom, when he suddenly felt a stone under his feet, which saved him. And in honor of this miraculous rescue, stones and earth from the shore were piled onto the underwater ridge.

On boats and across a drawbridge, which was turned over every spring by the breaking ice on the lake, the monks brought an entire island and set up a monastery on it. It was painted by the famous Dionysius.
However, already in our time, in the early thirties, construction began on collective farms and bricks were required. But the monks were excellent builders and created a monolith out of brick.
I had to blow up the monastery. They rushed, but still didn’t take the brick: it turned out to be a pile of ruins, and that’s all.

All that remains of the monastery is one bell tower and a living room, in which nets are now stored and fishermen take shelter from bad weather...

I looked at the sunlit temple. The lake had already completely dissolved, the fogs rose high. In the midst of a huge lake, endlessly shimmering with reflections, there stood a temple on the ice - white, as if crystal, and I still wanted to pinch myself, to make sure that all this was not a dream, not a mirage vision.
It’s breathtaking when you think about what this temple was like before they planted explosives under it!
“Yes,” says the comrade, still gloomily. - It was such that you can’t even describe it in words. A miracle, in a word, a miracle created by human hands and mind.
I look and look at the Spas-stone, forgetting about fishing rods, and about fish, and about everything in the world.

Presentation of “Vision” - (Astafiev)

V. P. Astafiev, “Dome Cathedral”: summary, features of the work and reviews

Viktor Petrovich Astafiev, the author of the story “The Dome Cathedral,” was born in troubled times and swallowed in full all the troubles and misfortunes that fate could have prepared for him.
From an early age, life did not spoil him: first his mother died, and Victor could not come to terms with it until the end of his life; later his father brought a new wife into the house, but she could not stand the boy. So he ended up on the street.
Later, Viktor Petrovich would write in his biography that he began an independent life suddenly and without any preparation.

Master of literature and hero of his time

The literary life of V.P. Astafiev will be quite eventful, and his works will be loved by all readers, from the smallest to the most serious.
Astafiev’s story “The Dome Cathedral” undoubtedly occupied one of the most honorable places in his literary biography and, even years later, continues to find connoisseurs among the modern generation.

V. Astafiev, “Dome Cathedral”: summary

In a hall crowded with people, organ music sounds, which gives the lyrical hero various associations.
He analyzes these sounds, compares them either with the high and ringing sounds of nature, or with the hissing and low peals of thunder. Suddenly, his whole life appears before his eyes - his soul, the earth, and the world.
He remembers the war, pain, losses and, amazed by the sound of the organ, is ready to kneel before the greatness of the beautiful.

Despite the fact that the hall is full of people, the lyrical hero continues to feel lonely. Suddenly a thought flashes through his mind: he wants everything to collapse, all executioners, murderers, and music to sound in people’s souls.

Analysis of the work “Dome Cathedral”

Now let's take a closer look at the story that Astafiev wrote (“Dome Cathedral”). Analysis and comments on the story can be presented as follows.
From the first lines, the reader observes the author’s admiration for the majestic work of architectural art - the Dome Cathedral. Viktor Petrovich had to visit this cathedral more than once, which he soon fell in love with.
The building of the Dome Cathedral itself, located in the capital of Latvia, Riga, has only partially survived to this day.
Made in the Rococo style, the cathedral was built according to the design of foreign sculptors and architects, invited specifically to erect a new structure that would resonate for centuries and remain a wonderful reminder to subsequent generations of bygone times.

But what made the cathedral a real attraction was the organ, which has incredible acoustic power. Great virtuoso composers wrote their works specifically for this majestic organ and gave concerts there, in the cathedral.

Thanks to the assonances and dissonances that V.P. Astafiev skillfully uses at the beginning of the story, the reader can feel himself in his place.
The melodies of the organ, compared with the peals of thunder and the roar of waves, with the sounds of a harpsichord and a ringing stream, reach us seemingly through space and time...
The writer tries to compare the sounds of the organ with his thoughts. He understands that all those terrible memories, pain, grief, worldly vanity and endless problems - everything disappeared in an instant. The sound of the organ has such majestic power.

“The Dome Cathedral” is rightfully one of his deepest philosophical works.

The image of loneliness and the soul in the story

Loneliness is not a fact, but a state of mind. And if a person is lonely, then even in society he will continue to consider himself that way. Organ music sounds through the lines of the work, and the lyrical hero suddenly realizes that all those people - evil, good, old and young - they have all dissolved. He feels only himself and no one else in the crowded hall...
And then, like a bolt from the blue, the hero is struck by a thought: he understands that at this very moment someone may be trying to destroy this cathedral. Endless thoughts swarm in his head, and the soul, healed by the sounds of the organ, is ready to die overnight for this divine melody.

The music stopped sounding, but left an indelible imprint on the soul and heart of the author. He, being impressed, analyzes every sound he hears and cannot help but simply say “thank you.”

The lyrical hero received healing from accumulated problems, grief and the killing bustle of the big city.

Genre of the Dome Cathedral

“Cathedral of the Dome”: essay plan

The Dome Cathedral is a place of music, silence and peace of mind.

An atmosphere filled with music that evokes many associations.

Only the sounds of music can touch the strings of the human soul so subtly and deeply.

Getting rid of burdens, mental heaviness and accumulated negativity under the influence of a wonderful medicine.

Gratitude of the lyrical hero for healing.

In conclusion

It is worth noting that the author undoubtedly has a subtle mental organization, because not everyone can feel music so much, be healed under its influence and convey their inner state to the reader with subtle, gentle words. Victor Astafiev deserves respect as a phenomenon of our time. And everyone should definitely read Viktor Astafiev’s work “The Dome Cathedral”.

Music occupies a special place in the life of every person. It’s amazing how notes, an instrument and a musician’s talent can have a beneficial effect on a person’s soul, making them rethink what we seem to regard as immutable truths. This is a special type of art, the power of which could hardly be compared with anything else. So what is the role of music in human life? It is this problem that Viktor Petrovich Astafiev raises in the proposed passage.

The author is located in Riga Dome Church, he is fascinated by the music, which, “like incense smoke,” hovers in the air. Viktor Petrovich notes that at this time, for him, what worries us in everyday life does not exist. All this is there, outside the walls of the church, where these magical motives do not exist. Rhetorical questions overwhelm him, making you think about the cruelty of man, the futility of wars, blood and fratricide. The hall is full and empty. Antithesis helps abstract from the human form, because now in the church there is only a “subdued, disembodied soul” and music. The world, and with it Viktor Petrovich, are ready to “fall to their knees, repent, fall with a withered mouth to the holy spring of goodness.” The author uses an extended metaphor to show how music affects a sinful person.
