Abstract
lyrical poetry of Alexei Timofeyev (1812–1883) during the
era of lourishing of the Russian romance song, which inspired
such outstanding composers as Alexander Alyabyev, Alexander
Varlamov and Alexander Dargomyzhsky. The 1830s and 1840s
saw the publication of Timofeyev’s prose works, plays and
poems. The critics of his time frequently responded to his
works negatively, however, his poems that approached the
stylistic features of folk poetry (“Russian Songs”) received
great esteem. In the article the author touches upon some
episodes of Timofeyev’s biography, as well as the issues of the
presence of his lyrical poetry in music history. Brilliant artistic
innovations characterize the songs of Alyabyev, Varlamov and
Dargomyzhsky to the poetry of Timofeyev, which have irmly
entered the concert repertoire. Timofeyev’s poetry enabled the
unfolding of the comical talent of Dargomyzhsky, his poetry is
connected with the “folklorization” of one of Varlamov’s vocal
melodies. It is mainly because of Timofeyev’s songs in the folk
vein having been set to music by Russian composers, his poetic
legacy has achieved a long life.
Keywords: Russian romance song, song traditions of
