And you, friends, no matter how you sit down, / Still are not fit to be musicians
From the fable “Quartet” (1811) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844).
Contemporaries believed; that this fable was written as a satirical response to the reform of the State Council, which by the will of Emperor Alexander I was divided in 1810 into 4 departments. They were led by N. S. Mordvinov (Monkey), P. V. Zavadovsky (Donkey), P. V. Lopukhin (Goat) and A. A. Arakcheev (Bear). Thus, A. S. Pushkin’s Lyceum classmate M. A. Korf wrote in his “Memoirs”: “It is known that we owe the long debate about how to seat them and even several subsequent transplants to Krylov’s witty fable “Quartet.”
About a poorly working team in which things are not going well because there is no unity, agreement, professionalism, competence, or a clear understanding of each person’s own and common task (ironically).

The fable “Quartet” by Krylov will tell how four animals tried to form a musical quartet, but they did not succeed due to lack of talent.

Read the text of the fable:

Naughty Monkey,

Yes, clubfooted Mishka

We decided to play a Quartet.

We got sheet music, bass, viola, two violins

And they sat down on the meadow under the sticky trees, -

Captivate the world with your art.

They hit the bows, they fight, but there’s no point.

“Stop, brothers, stop! - Monkey shouts.-

Wait!

How should the music go? That's not how you sit.

You and the bass, Mishenka, sit opposite the viola,

I, the prima, will sit opposite the second;

Then the music will be different:

Our forest and mountains will dance!”

We settled down and began the Quartet;

He’s still not getting along.

“Wait, I found a secret! -

The Donkey shouts, “We’ll probably get along,”

If we sit next to each other."

They obeyed the Donkey: they sat down decorously in a row;

And yet the Quartet is not going well.

Now they're getting even more intense than ever

Who and how to sit.

The Nightingale happened to fly to their noise.

Here everyone asks him to resolve their doubts:

“Perhaps,” they say, “take patience for an hour,

To put our Quartet in order:

And we have notes, and we have instruments,

Just tell us how to sit down!” -

“To be a musician, you need skill

And your ears are gentler, -

The Nightingale answers them, -

And you, friends, no matter how you sit down,

You’re still not fit to be musicians.”

Moral of the fable Quartet:

The moral of the story is that if you don’t have the ability to do something, then you shouldn’t start it. It often happens that a person finds himself out of place, but at the same time attributes failures in his activities to external reasons. It often turns out that someone who should be a musician works in politics; and the one who should take the place of a worker turns out to be a doctor, and so on. The fabulist condemns such people using the allegory of the four animals, who were not helped by rearranging their places to become musicians. In the person of Nightingale, Krylov reminds that to do business “you need skill.” When it is gone, all that remains is useless attempts to seem to be something you really are not.

The Naughty Monkey, the Donkey, the Goat and the clumsy Bear
We decided to play a Quartet.
We got sheet music, bass, viola, two violins
And they sat down on the meadow under the sticky trees -
Captivate the world with your art.
They hit the bows, they fight, but there’s no point.
“Stop, brothers, stop!” Monkey shouts. “Wait!”
How should the music go? That's not how you sit.
You and the bass, Mishenka, sit opposite the viola,
I, the prima, will sit opposite the second;
Then the music will be different:
Our forest and mountains will dance!"
We settled down and began the Quartet;
He's still not getting along.
“Wait, I found a secret,”
The Donkey shouts, “We’ll probably get along,”
Let's sit next to each other."
They listened to the Donkey: they sat down decorously in a row,
And yet the Quartet is not going well.
Now they're getting even more intense than ever
And disputes about who should sit and how.
The Nightingale happened to fly to their noise.
Here everyone asks him to resolve their doubts:
“Perhaps,” they say, “take patience for an hour,
To put our Quartet in order:
And we have notes, and we have instruments;
Just tell us how to sit down!" -
"To be a musician, you need skill
And your ears are gentler, -
The Nightingale answers them. -
And you, friends, no matter how you sit down,
Everyone is not fit to be a musician."

Moral of the fable "Quartet"

To be a musician you need skill - this morality and wisdom are true not only for music or other creativity.

To achieve success in any endeavor, you must have certain abilities and innate talent.

No external data - beautiful clothes, jewelry, expensive instruments and technical tricks will not save you if you do not know how to compose music, play various musical instruments, as well as build houses, sew, knit, etc.

And most importantly, natural talent is not the only thing that is a condition for success, and it is not true that some people believe that they don’t need anything else besides talent.

In fact, in order to create something extraordinary, to be the best and achieve success, you need to continuously work on yourself and put in all your strength and diligence.

Analysis/moral of the fable “Quartet” by Krylov

Ivan Andreevich Krylov placed the “Quartet” on the pages of his “New Fables”.

The fable was written in 1811. Its author turned 42 at this time and continues to work at the Imperial Public Library. His fame as a fabulist by that time was already indisputable. The meter is iambic in different feet with an intricate rhyme scheme, with a predominance of adjacent ones. It can be called a political satire, although the moral of this fable is eternal and is not related to the immediate context. It is believed that the reason for the creation of the work was the reform of the State Council, which led to the division into four departments. The members of the Council did not immediately master the new principle of work; only as a result of disputes they built a hierarchy that finally satisfied everyone. Another version, much closer to the activities of I. Krylov himself, is the opening of the “Conversation of Lovers of the Russian Word” society, which usually met in the house of G. Derzhavin. There were also grievances within its ranks over the distribution of seats. There are five heroes, the most colorful of them are, perhaps, the Monkey (the prankster) and the Donkey. Actually, the rest of the quartet members were never given a chance to speak. The nightingale here is an edifying character, an exponent of the author’s position. The title refers to an ensemble of 4 musicians. “Clubfooted Bear”: a folklore epithet and quite an anthroponym (calendar, human name in an animal). “They started to play”: the impulse was spontaneous. It was decided to play based on inspiration. Well-known musical instruments reveal themselves in the enumerative gradation: bass, viola, violin. The concert was meant to be without entrance tickets, and subsequently a tour was also possible. So, they “fight”, but to no avail. It turns out that desire and effort alone are not enough. You also need to sit correctly. Naturally, Monkey was the first to guess about this. The address “brothers” is another touch to humanize the heroes. The refrain is “stop.” She modestly calls herself “prima” (the main one), transplants “Mishenka” and herself. “The forest and mountains will dance!”: the monkey’s optimism develops not just into personification, but into shameless hyperbole. “It’s not going well”: there is no harmonious sound (here there is also an outdated form of the verb). Then it dawned on Donkey. He puts everyone in a row. Again the refrain “no way”. A verbal altercation began. The Nightingale appeared at the noise. The animals ask him to become a judge in the dispute. Nightingale graciously agrees. And here is his verdict: you need your skill and gentler ears. That is, he did not simply deny them skills and experience, but specifically abilities. This means that the ensemble was doomed from the very beginning. It turns out that seating will not make them musicians. In the finale there is also a warning not to mind your own business, and to soberly evaluate your talents.

In I. Krylov’s “Quartet,” the writer’s contemporaries saw a satire on the topic of the day.
