Music and Time Annotation << Back Music by D.D. Shostakovich to the film "Cheryomushki" K.Yu. Mikhaylov This article is devoted to Shostakovich’s work on the film "Cheryomushki", which was an adaptation of his musical comedy "Moscow, Cheryomushki". Although the composer has repeatedly “touched” the operetta, this genre is represented in his work by only one example. As is well known, the author had a very critical opinion about his work, but at the same time spoke positively about its film version. The film also gained immense popularity among the audience. The article examines the work of the composer on a kind of "adaptation" of operetta music for the screen, evaluates the final "result". In this regard, some fragments written directly for the film deserve special attention. In contrast to all the rest of the material, which is dominated by an orientation towards genres of everyday life, features of Shostakovich’s stylistics are revealed to a greater extent.
