He repeatedly honored the awards for musical works, created as for the piano, at the rate of which the composer ended the conservatory, and for strings, quartets, as well as whole orchestras. But nationwide love brought non-academic compositions, and pop songs to which the Creator composed music.
January 22, 2021 was 100 years old from the day, Arno Babajanian was born, about the facts from the personal life and whose biography of 24cm.
1. Unsuccessful date
The official date of birth of the Soviet composer, recorded in the passport - January 22, 1921. But in reality, Arno Babajanyan appeared a day before.Just the father of the future musician in 1924, after the death of the "leader of the world proletariat" Vladimir Lenin, just came to the 21st, preferred the date in the offspring documents to correct. I considered that the birthday of Soviet citizens falling on the annual day, is not the most pleasant surprise for the smaller boy.
2. Gifted
Although the parents of Arno were people, in general, from the art of distant, the boy's father was not bad with flute, as well as folk Armenian musical instruments. And often suited amateur concerts at home.
Apparently, it helped to form a musical hearing of the future composer. And in addition, Babajanian, already at a three-year-old age and pulled the beautiful - the son of ordinary teachers began to play on the facilormony standing houses.
When Arno was still in kindergarten, a man came to the institution, who wanted to listen to children and to identify their probable talent deposits. The man immediately drew attention to Babajanian and advised the boy to try his hand in music. The testing of the Soviet composer and the conductor Aram Khachaturian turned out to be.
3. Mutual love
Throughout the life of Arno Babajanian, he had a hot attachment to Yerevan, which was born. The composer loved so much homeland so much that after moving to the capital of the USSR annually returned home at least for a couple of days. And all his Moscow familiar also persistently advised to vomit in his hometown.It is worth saying that the inhabitants of Yerevan were always distinguished by deep reverence to the creativity of the countryman famous for the whole country. So, conducted in the capital of Armenia, the experiment was able to reveal that among the Yerevan people could hardly find a person who would not know the words "Yerevan Sirun Ahchik," written by Babajanyan for the film "The Song of First Love".
4. Coincidence
One day, at that time, when Arno Babajanyan collaborated with the orchestra under the control of his friend Constantine Orbelyan, rumors went around the city that Nikit Khrushchev himself declared for the rehearsal of the team. In pajamas.
In fact, the culprit of such a gossip was the composer, whose father had appearance, very similar to the Gensek. Arno "grabbed" the father from the house when he was urgently called for a rehearsal. And, having arrived at the place, punished a man to sit in the car, hoping that he would hide quickly.
But so carried away that I forgot about the dad sitting in the car, which decided to remind my son about myself and came to the rehearsal. And in Pajamas, the senior Babajanian was, since Arno was too in a hurry to the old man, taking out of the house, and assured that in the car no one would see clothes.
However, there was enough cases when Babajanian purposefully used the similarity of the parent with Khrushchev to swallow over the surrounding. The composer adored all sorts of draws.
5. Joker
Love for the draws sometimes brought Arno Babajanyan and trouble.Once, along with the director Hechrich Onghany, they decided to play a friend - a young musician, who, as a tool, the leadership of Armenia entrusted a violin, considered the city's property.
Having bought a cheap copy, the jokers have consolidated the original to replace the original, and then "break away" over the victim of the draw in full. When Arno broke the gem string tool in front of the violinist, the young man collapsed into fainting. And Babajanian himself almost followed him, because Oganesyan suddenly shouted that he did not have time to change the real violin on the fake. Fortunately, these words were also a joke.
6. "Big Arno"
On the eve of the century since the birth of a famous composer who wrote music for songs, later performed by Muslim Magomaev, Edita Piehe, Vadim Mouleman and other famous Soviet vocalists, in the Far East, the name "Arno Babajanyan" was assigned to the Transokean Tanker.
The solemn part was held in Vladivostok. The initiative to assign a composer name to the vessel with a displacement of 14.5 thousand tons belongs to the organization "Union of Armenians of Russia" and the Memory Fund of Arno Babajanyan.
7. One in the world
Babajanian lived all his life with one woman - Teresa, to the marriage of the surname of Oganesyan and hearing a promising pianist, who chose the sake of the spouse to abandon the further career to devote all of himself to dedicate the chosen one.
In the fact that death came to Arno for three decades later than it was worth expecting after the production of Babajanian Diagnosis of "Cancer Blood", the merit of not only the famous French doctor, by chance that in the Union. But the wives of the composer.
The woman not only always accompanied her husband's husband, having a medical recruitment at hand, but also tried to surround caress and care, seeking to protect against any unkind news. It is said that it was his beloved wife who gave him the son of Aru, Arno Babajanian and dedicated to the composition "Nocturne", which is considered the most beautiful work of the author.
