The paper takes a fresh look at the history of the world’s
earliest art song, the musical solution of which, along with the lyrics, is
directly related to the Train—Travelling Song by the Russian
composer Mikhail Glinka (1804–1857). Background information, including the
terminological and methodological basis of this study, technological details of
the development of the railway in the early decades of its inception, as well
as several striking examples of works in various genres of art, music, and
fiction that show how the railway has inspired creative individuals over the
decades, precedes and follows composer’s story, a study of which reveals
that Travelling Song is not only the earliest response to the
novelty of the railway in music, but also has roots in a personal romantic and
emotional context. The research is carried out using methods generally accepted
in cultural studies, i.e. working with print and online sources, as well as
features of a creative writing style associated with the practice of art-based
research, which offers a presentation of scientific material about art using
artistic means.
