I remember the waltz sound lovely
Late spring night
It was sung by an unknown voice,
And the song was wonderful.

Yes, it was a charming, languid waltz,
Yes, that was a marvelous waltz!

Now it's winter, and the same ate
Covered in darkness, standing
And under the window blizzards are noisy,
And the sounds of the waltz do not sound ...

Where is this waltz, old, languid,
Where is this marvelous waltz?!

Romances are rightfully called love songs, because. it is love that is the reason for the creation of many of them. Music and texts remain, but the names of the creators are often forgotten and the romance becomes "folk". The famous and very melodic romance "I remember the lovely sound of the waltz" has just such a fate, for a long time the name of its author was unknown a wide range listeners and performers. But still it exists, and it was the only musical and poetic work of Nikolai Afanasyevich Listov, and the reason for this was a happy love story.

Nikolai Listov was from Pskov, from a wealthy noble family, and received a good education. Various sources have different information about youthful years: it is only known that he was a student of the law faculty of either St. Petersburg or Riga University. During his studies, he was passionately fond of the theater and took part in amateur performances. In 1898, Listov was expelled from the university for participating in student unrest, and he returned home to Pskov, where he successfully plays in the local theater, often playing roles in which he has to sing along the way.

But an unexpected meeting on one of secular balls She crossed everything out: in 1904, a young actress Alexandra Medvedev appeared on the stage of the People's Theater, and it was she who attracted the attention of Nikolai Listov. He meets her and falls passionately in love. The actress reciprocates, the lovers decide to get married. But Listov's parents opposed: their son, a nobleman, a handsome man and a provincial actress - a terrible shame for their family! It was necessary to make a choice between love and money. Nikolai Listov chooses love and becomes an actor in the provincial theater and the husband of Alexandra Medvedeva.

The meeting with Alexandra Medvedeva inspired Listov to create a wonderful romance - "I remember the waltz, the sound is lovely" (the artist himself composed both the music and the words). It was written years later, in memory of the meeting at the ball. Nikolai Listov wrote only one romance, but that was enough for his name to be forever immortalized in the memory of lovers of Russian romance.


ABOUT future fate Nikolai Listov managed to find out on the website of Muslim Magomayev: "... in 1983 Grigory Polyachek, who created a museum in St. Petersburg variety art, managed to document the authorship of Nikolai Listov. Polyachek's father worked as a make-up artist at the Pskov Theater in the 1920s. His memoirs served as the basis for an article published in the journal " Music life", which refers to the creation of Lisztov's romance. After 1917, Listov devoted a lot of time to public work, staged performances, and for some time served as director of the Pskov drama theater them. A. S. Pushkin.

They are covered in darkness,
And under the window blizzards are noisy,
And the sounds of the waltz do not sound ...

Where is this old, languid waltz,
Where is this marvelous waltz!
