At the beginning of cinema stood Ukrainian mechanic Yosyp Timchenko together with physicist Mykola Lyubimov, who two years before the discovery of the Lumiere brothers, developed a “snail” – a jumping mechanism.In 1893, films shot using a kinescope were already being shown in Odessa, thus outpacing the Lumières. But Timchenko failed to patent his device. His kinescope is still stored in the storage rooms of the Polytechnic Museum in Moscow. Timchenko was also the author of automatic meteorological, physical and astronomical instruments, for which he received awards at world exhibitions. He participated in the creation of the first model of the Freudenberg automatic telephone exchange.

fragment of "Musical Grammar" by M. Dyletsky.A native of Kyiv, Mykola Dyletsky is called the creator of the Western school of partes music, which gave the world a number of outstanding composers. He wrote the theoretical work “Musical Grammar” — a monument of the Ukrainian Baroque — which was published exactly 350 years ago in Vilna (now Vilnius). In it, Dyletsky explained in detail the technical features of partes singing and composition. And what is important! In this work, he was the first in the world to describe the circle of fifths — as a graphic diagram by which a musician can trace the harmonic connections between all major and minor keys of 12 notes. For composers, this work made it easier to write music. This is really worth paying attention to… The work “The Resurrection Canon” by Mykola Dyletsky. Please listen.
