Abstract
The article is devoted to a significant date — the 250th anniversary of the birth of the great German composer Ludwig van Beethoven. The author examines some issues of the influence of Beethoven's work on Russian artists in various fields of art. Especially stands out the name of one of the leading representatives of the Soviet musical avant-garde of the XXth century, composer Gavriil Popov, who created "Heroic" and "Pastoral" symphonies, following in the steps of the outstanding German master and entering into a "dialogue at a distance" with him. Furthermore, the indirect parallels between Popov's work and Beethoven's art are considered. The article also touches on the role of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" in the legendary film "Chapaev" by the Vasilyev brothers.
