There is a fleeting, wondrous moment
during autumn’s early days:
time stands motionless, time’s a crystal,
evenings bathe in brilliant rays.

            Fyodor Tyutchev

Autumn has come, and September ends, and "time stands motionless, time’s a crystal, evenings bathe in brilliant rays". Moreover, we are getting used to the fact that the summer is over, and a real golden autumn is in front of us. The summer heat is being replaced by coolness, rain and fog. The Museum section Musical Records features a phonograph record produced by the Gramplasttrest Plant in Aprelevka in 1939. A romance-tango Autumn performed by Vadim Kozin and the Tango Ensemble conducted by Yakov Haskin is recorded on it.

In 1939, Vadim Alekseevich Kozin wrote a whole series of songs that he called "The Seasons", and the romance-tango "Autumn" became part of the Russian music history. The romance has no theme; it has only one leitmotif - love. Everything else is - life and death, eternity and swift-flowing time, the strokes of fate, faith and doubts, loneliness and disappointment ...

AUTUMN
lyrics by E. Belogorodskaya, music by V. Kozin

Autumn, clear morning,
The sky as if in a fog,
Dal-tones of mother-of-pearl
The sun is cold, distant.
Where our first meeting
Bright, sharp, secret?
One memorable summer evening,
Honey, like random...

Don't go, I beg you,
Words of love a hundred times I'll repeat,
Let fall at the door,
I know it's hard,
And yet "don't go" I say.

Our corner we never close,
When you're in it, then it blooms spring!
Don't go, haven't sung many songs,
Still ringing in guitar each string....
