Воспитательный аспект: осознание значения музыки в жизни человека.

 I.  I think everybody of you saw the Russian film “Only old fellows go to the battle”. And you, perhaps, remember the words of one of the characters of this film who said: ‘Everything is temporal but music is eternal’. (Все преходяще, а музыка вечна).

Включить музыку Л.В. Бетховена (9 симфония). На фоне негромкой музыки рассказать о L. van Beethoven.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), one of the world’s greatest composers, was born in Germany. At the peak of his career, he began to lose his hearing. But it didn’t interfere with his ability to compose. He wrote one of his most powerful compositions – the Ninth Symphony – after he became completely deaf. (включить музыку погромче).

I love you, dear Rus, for ever,

You’re the only land for me.

Your unending secret grief.

Yours are limitless expanses,

Nothing has for you an end.

You for ages tooled the lancies

Of the wisest foreign men.
