In family of Makarov' - the teachers, the son, third under the score, Kostia was born in 1922, so him began to name in family.
The mother from early years played on a piano, and father on a violin. Both they with pedagogical sense nurtured in children love to music and in accordance with mastering, in family there was a duet, trio, quartet, quintet.
Having noted the special musical deposits for a Kostia, after a ending of high school №3 our city, him have defined in a musical school in Rostov-on-Don, where the director was scientist-musician Rakitin.
At the end of 30 years have died the father and soon mother of Kostia. The boy so has liked Rakitin' family, that they have adopted Kostia. From here double surname. Soon Rakitin have moved to Moscow and there Kostia have defined in a conservatory.
Besides common musical abilities, for a Kostia is obvious, from 10-years of age the abilities of the composer were exhibited.
Firstly he wrote small plays, etudes. The skill grew, which one has declared itself in a conservatory. Being the student, Konstantin have written music for an opera "I'm son of the labor people", on a plot of the story by Valentin Kataev. This opera, though and with major subquality work was accepted to setting at Theatre Bolshoy.
However young composer have called on the military service in Red army. But also there Kostia prolonged play and write music. In 1940-th year Konstantin have moved in band of Red army. Here he also carried on finishing an opera. Then it was assumed to setting with the Kiev theatre of an opera and ballet. But the talent of the young composer and this time could not be ratified - the Great Domestic war began. Konstantin has appeared on the Moscow front. On advanced front line, naturally, the talent of the composer has not found application.
Highly intellectual, but not having military derivation Konstantin Makarov-Rakitin was attached to a staff of headquarter of a regiment, on a post of the officer on the special commissions. It was under Yiartsev.
War is war. September 3, 1942 happened so, that in a headquarter this hour has not appeared signallers, and conditions required expedited to supply the message in an adjacent military unit. And here Konstantin Makarov-Rakitin has offered the services. It became awkward for staing in a headquarter.
The chief of staff has reflected. The matter was that the open terrain between units was raked the snipers, and Makarov-Rakitin - the unexperienced soldier, is dangerous! But to transmit it was necessary, and consequently Kostia has received the package and operating instructions.
He has left and has not returned.
Both maiden, and second variant to an opera "The Bride of the soldier", quintet and sonata for a piano, highly have estimated N.Y.Miaskovskiy, G.D. Poljansky, G.Ghelovskiy. D.Shostakovich has named composer Makarov-Rakitin - the musician from the big letter.
In the Moscow conservatory there is memorial board, on which one the gold characters call the produced musicians, given out life for the native land. Among them there is name of shakhtinien - Konstantin Makarov-Rakitin.
