Excerpt describing Cymbal

Denisov considered it dangerous to attack another time, so as not to alarm the entire column, and therefore he sent forward to Shamshevo the peasant Tikhon Shcherbaty, who was with his party, to capture, if possible, at least one of the French advanced quarterers who were there.

It was an autumn, warm, rainy day. The sky and horizon were the same color of muddy water. Now it seemed like fog fell, then suddenly it began to fall in slanting, heavy rain.
Denisov rode on a thoroughbred, thin horse with toned sides, wearing a cloak and a hat with water flowing from it. He, just like his horse, who was squinting his head and pinching his ears, winced from the slanting rain and looked anxiously ahead. His face, emaciated and overgrown with a thick, short, black beard, seemed angry.
Next to Denisov, also in a burka and papakha, on a well-fed, large bottom, rode a Cossack esaul - an employee of Denisov.
Esaul Lovaisky - the third, also in a burka and papakha, was a long, flat, board-like, white-faced, blond man, with narrow light eyes and a calmly smug expression both in his face and in his stance. Although it was impossible to say what was special about the horse and the rider, at the first glance at the esaul and Denisov it was clear that Denisov was both wet and awkward - that Denisov was the man who sat on the horse; whereas, looking at the esaul, it was clear that he was as comfortable and calm as always, and that he was not a man who sat on a horse, but man and horse together were one creature, increased by double strength.
A little ahead of them walked a thoroughly wet little peasant conductor, in a gray caftan and a white cap.
A little behind, on a thin, thin Kyrgyz horse with a huge tail and mane and with bloody lips, rode a young officer in a blue French overcoat.
A hussar rode next to him, carrying behind him on the back of his horse a boy in a tattered French uniform and a blue cap. The boy held the hussar with his hands, red from the cold, moved his bare feet, trying to warm them, and, raising his eyebrows, looked around him in surprise. It was the French drummer taken in the morning.
Behind, in threes and fours, along a narrow, muddy and worn-out forest road, came the hussars, then the Cossacks, some in a burka, some in a French overcoat, some with a blanket thrown over their heads. The horses, both red and bay, all seemed black from the rain flowing from them. The horses' necks seemed strangely thin from their wet manes. Steam rose from the horses. And the clothes, and the saddles, and the reins - everything was wet, slimy and soggy, just like the earth and the fallen leaves with which the road was laid. People sat hunched over, trying not to move in order to warm up the water that had spilled onto their bodies, and not to let in the new cold water that was leaking under the seats, knees and behind the necks. In the middle of the stretched out Cossacks, two wagons on French horses and harnessed to Cossack saddles rumbled over stumps and branches and rumbled along the water-filled ruts of the road.
Denisov’s horse, avoiding a puddle that was on the road, reached to the side and pushed his knee against a tree.
“Eh, why!” Denisov cried out angrily and, baring his teeth, hit the horse three times with a whip, splashing himself and his comrades with mud. Denisov was out of sorts: both from the rain and from hunger (no one had eaten anything since the morning), and the main thing is that there has still been no news from Dolokhov and the person sent to take the tongue has not returned.
“There will hardly be another case like today where transport will be attacked. It’s too risky to attack on your own, and if you put it off until another day, one of the big partisans will snatch the booty from under your nose,” thought Denisov, constantly looking ahead, thinking of seeing the expected messenger from Dolokhov.
Having arrived at a clearing along which one could see far to the right, Denisov stopped.

| adj. cymbal, oh, oh. K. ringing(also translated: the same as a clanking cymbal; obsolete ironic).

Encyclopedia of Brockhaus and Efron

An ancient oriental percussion musical instrument consisting of a metal plate, in the middle of which a belt or rope was attached to be worn on the right hand. The K. was struck against another K., worn on the left hand, which is why the name of this instrument is used in the plural: cymbals. The Jews called K. tsel t selim, sets. - metsiloth. They were of two types. Large K. were worn on both hands; a pair of small ones were worn on the first and third fingers of one hand and served as metal castanets. K. moved to a modern orchestra called plates (German Bec k en, Schellen, Italian cinelli, piatti, French Cymbales). K. should not be mixed with cymbals (q.v.), a Hungarian string instrument.
