Russian sounds: The balalaika
When you think of Russian folk music, the balalaika immediately comes to mind. This wonderful triangular shaped string instrument from the 17th century is one of Russia’s national symbols. The early balalaika was a very simple and cheap instrument to make and was very popular with poorer people who were living in the countryside. Many wealthy people looked down on the instrument and considered it more like a toy. However, in time more musicians began to like it and to take it seriously. One 19th century musician by the name of Vasily Vasilievich Andreyev had become interested in the balalaika as a young boy and had learnt to play it. Later, when Andreyev was working as a musician in the salons of Saint Petersburg he began to write music for the balalaika and perform sok) concerts with the instrument He then created an orchestra with balalaikas of different sizes. It was so successful that the musicians performed at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889. With this, the balalaika had found its place in modern music and had become popular even with the upper classes in Russia. It would soon become one of the country’s national instruments and part of Russian identity.
