Abstract: The article examines I. S. Turgenev’s late translations for the music albums of Pauline Viardot. The authors analyse the vocal album of Pauline Viardot from 1874. For the first time, the article provides a linguacultural analysis of the translations of poems from this album (from German into Russian and from Russian into German), and attributes the authorship of the translations belonging to Turgenev. The authors of the article consider another aspect of the co-creation of Turgenev with Pauline Viardot, which remained virtually unexplored until now, i. e., the creation of the music albums of “Tuscan Songs” (“Canti popolari Toscani”), the texts of which were collected, processed and published by Giuseppe Tigri. The authors of the article examine the musical and poetic content of “Tuscan Songs,” and provide a series of evidence that the translations of the songs (with the exception of “Florentine Serenade”) belong to the Russian writer. The most convincing argument pointing to the authorship of Turgenev’s translations are the manuscripts of three Tuscan songs, in which the Russian text was written in Turgenev’s hand.
