• Oh, about everything. Among other things | they are both T very enthusias­tic about the theatre.

• Mm... 11 loathe the theatre.

• And 1 loathe the enthusiasts.

• I loathe | Arthur and Martha.

Teacher. Now, please, try to act the dialogue. Who'd like?

Teacher. Well, thank you. And do you loathe the theatre? Do you loathe music?

P u p i 1. As for me, I don't loath music, 1 enjoy it.

Teacher. That's nice. Here you can see the quotation:

Music is a free art, an open-air art, an art boundless as the wind, the sky, the

sea. Debussy.

How do you consider "music" and "art"? Do they have the same meanings or there is some difference?

Pupil. As for me, I think "art" has more general meaning than "music", it concerns the creativity of man as dis­tinguished from the world of nature.

Teacher. So, it's something artificial. Can we call "art" artificial?

P u p i 1. On no account, "art" goes out from the man's heart and soul, it's a kind of his vision and expressing his thoughts and views.

P u p i 1. To my mind, "art" is making or doing of things that display form, beauty and unusual perception in dif­ferent ways. That's why art includes painting, sculpture, architecture, liter­ature, drama, and music. So "music" is a branch of art.

Pupil. I'd say "music" is a branch of liberal art as distinguished from the sciences because as Debussy said mu­sic is a free open-air art. So music ex­presses liberty of feelings and emo­tions that is boundless as the wind, the sky, the sea. Music grazes a raw place, excites listeners greatly, and makes them thrill.

Pupil. I'd like to add that music is structurally complete and emotionally expressive compositions, harmony, rhythm. And as music reflects life it says that there must be harmony in our life too. And different genres of music tell us about that in different ways as people's tastes differ.

Pupil. Music doesn't allow people to be up in the clouds, to live in a dream world because we have a lot of problems that must be solved as quickly as possi­ble. Music is also a weapon; it fights for light against darkness, for freedom against tyranny, for humanism against barbarity ("Seventh Symphony" by Shostakovich, "Sixth Symphony" by Tchaikovsky). So, I agree with Longfel­low that music is the universal language of mankind, because it helps people to unite, communicate and understand each other.

Pupil. I'd say music helps us to live, supports, encourages and inspires us. It coincides with our mood. For example, in summer we're gay and merry, because of the brightness around us and so, we prefer to listen to the light music, its tunes are happy and easily caught. Then au­tumn comes, the cheerless time when the beauty of nature is about to vanish and fade and the earth is sad and lonely. All that makes our hearts be filled with gloom, but at the same time be filled with poetic inspiration. So we look at every­thing with another eye upon and feel the inclination to listen to the light, classical music as to "Seasons" by Tchaikovsky in his part "Autumn Song".

Then winter comes and it seems that nature is wrapped in mighty sleep and everything is silent and glittering like in fairy tales, serious classical music in­spires us.

And we feel how some big strength is maturing for the new spring.

Звучить фрагмент «Проліски» («Пори року»).

Teacher. You've seen how through music we can follow the changes in na­ture, its state, and its mood, because music can depict and express every de­tail. Listening to it we imagine and see what's going on. So, music turns us to nature and unites us with it.

Pupil. It's not a secret that the calm flowing moonlight over the dark of one winter's evening inspired Beethoven to write his "Moonlight Sonata".

Listening to it we can first hear the dance of spirits upon the lawn, then j breathless, hurrying movement, de­scriptive of flight and uncertainty and \ then vague impulsive terror, which І

carried us away on its rustling wings and left us all in emotion arid wonder.

P u p і 1. As for me I wouldn't say that it's easy for every listener to get a keen sensual delight and pleasure of classical music. I agree that such music creates a special spiritual world for the listener, which immensely enriches his inner life and makes him happy.

Pupil. I'm awfully sorry, but 1 can't find that keen sensual delight in classical music. It's an exclusive art: most people don't understand it and that's why don't like it. It is not a popular art. The very length of most classical music pieces can send any listener to sleep. People want the kind of music to which they can dance or just talk to friends. It should be simple, cheerful and up-to-date.

Pupil. But of course, we must be taught not only to listen but to under­stand it, which is more important. As it is the more we have listened to one and the same music from our childhood, we begin to understand what feelings it contains aiid inspires us, so we'll be able to combine all the feelings into one and feel real happiness.

Teacher. Right you are. What's your opinion?

Pupil. It's difficult to find the way into serious classical music, we must be ready for it that's why more often in our everyday life, and we can hear light and pop music. It's like some people don't like winter because of the cold weather. I prefer a cold winter to a hot muggy summer. And I think that after the ter­rible July we had last year, low temper­atures are kind of refreshing.

Те а с h e r. That's right. And such re­freshing can be the music too. Listen to the extract and say what impression you've got.

Звучить фрагмент рок-музики.

Pupil. It's my music! So as for me I listen to the classical music very rare­ly, I prefer rock all the year round, be­cause it can express all kinds of my mood. I can find in rock a firm support, basis, refuge, something like or suggest­ing a rock as in strength and stability.

Те а с h e r. You're right. Rock is popu­lar especially with the youth. How can you account for the large-scale popu­larity of rock?

Pupil. Rock is popular with the young people because its rhythms are full of vigor and force, just what appeals to the youth, the tunes are easily caught and young people "get tremendous kicks" listening to this kind of music.

Pupil. I'd like to add that the very popularity of this genre speaks in its fa­vor. It attracts masses of young people. Why should we deprive of the joy we obviously 'get from the music? The words of the songs deal with the young­er people's world, their hopes, dreams, disappointments and joys.

Pupil. And, besides, all changes in the life are usually made by young peo­ple and so it is in music too. Young lis­teners search for new rhythjns and new styles, and rock can be called an exper­imental kind of music, different groups are looking for new forms and some­times achieve really. People want the kind of music to which they can dance or just talk to friends. It should be sim­ple, cheerful and up-to-date.

Pupil. I'd say that, of course, tastes differ and everybody is fond of particu­lar genre of music. But let's think music is the background of our life. We can hear not only our favorite music, but other genres of music too, because mu­sic is everywhere: in concert halls, in parks, on TV and radio, at homes, in transport and even in the street. Wfe live and listen to the music.

Teacher. Yes, right you are. Music is really, first of all, the background of our life, it helps us to live, and it makes our mood. Even while walking along the streets, we can attend so-called prom­enade concerts. Now you'll listen to the text about such concerts. Try to under­stand it and be ready to do the tasks.
