The Representations of Carnival in Fantasias for Piano and Orchestra by Darius Milhaud and Heitor Villa-Lobos In the 1920s, Frenchman Darius Milhaud (1892–1974) and Brazilian Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887–1959), inspired by the carnival, created works that resemble each other in genre and scoring. These are the fantasias for piano and orchestra: Mômoprecóce by Villa-Lobos and Le Carnaval d'Aix, Op. 83b by Milhaud. The article presents an attempt to analyse the pieces in the context of carnivalesque aesthetics as well as musical representation (as described by Peter Kivy and Lawrence Kramer) and seeks to deeply comprehend the phenomenon’s resonance in the composers’ music.

Texto completoResumen
George Benjamin's rich harmonic imagination was apparent from his earliest published works. A distinctive chordal sensibility is already evident in the 1978 Piano Sonata, with its glittering streams of five- or six-pitch clusters; in the hollow bell-chords punctuating the 1979 orchestral score, Ringed by the Flat Horizon; and in the supreme stasis of the A-minor pedal chord (a six-three triad) unveiled by the icy glissandi lines opening A Mind of Winter (1981). All three pieces share a fascination with degrees of chordal resonance – the interplay of upper partials above a fundamental – and a sensitivity to chords as sound objects. True, Benjamin's style, beginning at least with Antara (1987), has shown signs of a more linear-contrapuntal orientation, and less reliance on what one critic terms ‘purely coloristic phenomena’. Yet one could equally claim some continuity between the refined harmonic world of the early scores and the surprising richness of chordal sonority to be heard in a far more recent arrival, the 1997 duo Viola, Viola.

The relevance of the article conditioned by the modern immediacy of the problem of maintenance of spiritual values, by the necessity of the research of regional features of composer’s schools and specifics of embodiment of spiritual instructions in V. Ptushkin’s compositional, particularly piano creativity, that hasn’t got an exhaustive coverage in modern national musicology. The purpose of the article is to highlight the specifics of the concept of spirituality as the worldview and axiological center of V. Ptushkin’s compositional, particularly piano creativity. The methodology of the article is based on comparative, historical-typological, interpretative method, methods of generalization, stylistic and genre analysis. The results. The article highlights the concept of spirituality, represented as a concentrated reflection of the humanistic orientation of V. Ptushkin’s compositional, particularly piano creativity and a means of affirming spiritual values in a dialogue with the spiritual experience of mankind, appeals to the signs of cultural eras, genre model of the past — requiem, choral, spiritual cantata, concerto grosso, in the reproduction of eternally relevant images and themes — symbols of spirituality, in particular the image of Virgin Mary as the ideal of humanity’s existence and the positioning of the sublime and the earthly as the poles of worldview and human existence. It is revealed that the specificity of the embodiment of the concept of spirituality in the work for two pianos “The Sublime and the Earthly” is related to: understanding its significance through the prism of comparing personal and universal principles and allusions to the signs of the Renaissance, Classicism, romanticism; resonance with worldview guidelines of the culture of the border of XX–XXI centuries; functional mobility; the variability of performing teams; compositional and structural abnormality. The global significance of the concept of spirituality is imprinted in the work on the following levels: texture — in large-scale vertical chords, chronotope and dynamics — in powerful orchestral sonority, tonal organization — in the affirmation of major constructions, genre — in the movement from lyrical, individualized elegy to anthem as a reflection of the human unity. The scientific novelty of the article is due to the substantiation of the concept of spirituality as a worldview basis of V. Ptushkin’s work and the study of the peculiarities of its embodiment, in particular in the play «The Sublime and the Earthly». The practical significance of the article is determined by the possibility of using the results of the study in performing and pedagogical practice.

"The study is focused on the problem of composers’ self-interpretation in the orchestrations of their own piano pieces. This specific case of a creative re-thinking contains not only adaptation of a piano score to orchestral instruments, but also adding new semantic meaning, sound atmosphere and texture principles as well as further development of initial music idea. For the analysis two pieces of Maurice Ravel and Borys Lyatoshinsky – two prominent masters of orchestration and piano miniature of 20th century, were chosen. Their approaches are distinguishably different: (a) the detailed reordering of the initial idea from an “instrument Piano” to an “instrument Orchestra” (Ravel); (b) throughout development with essential changes firstly within piano means, than by orchestral means in the genre of Symphony (Lyatoshinsky). Keywords: creative re-thinking, self-interpretation, self-orchestration"

It is common practice for composers to make arrangements and transcriptions of their own or other composers’ music. However, Maurice Ravel stands out by his piano and orchestral transcriptions which constitute a prominent part of his works and reveal certain creative purposes and techniques. This shapes the subject of the article which, inter alia, also focuses on terminology not typical for Russian musicology. The study is novel as it examines Ravel’s transcriptions that have been virtually out of research or performance scope in Russia, namely, Debussy’s “Danse” and “Sarabande”, Chabrier’s “Menuet pompeux”, and others. The paper describes Ravel’s transcriptions from three perspectives: time of creation, the original author’s material developed by Ravel, and timbre interpretation. The orchestral versions of his own piano compositions (“Pavana of the Sleeping Infante,” “Tomb of Couperin”, “Alborada”, etc.), as well as compositions by other authors (Debussy, Chabrier, Mussorgsky) form the biggest part of Ravel’s heritage. The article compares compositions written in different timbres as well as different approaches Ravel uses to make piano arrangements, hence, the comparative method is central to the study. Ravel’s piano transcriptions show him as an attentive arranger sensitive to the subtleties of the score as well as a diligent student who has “digested” and mastered the original sound material, which, subsequently, influenced his own work. Creating orchestral versions of his own and his colleagues’ works, the composer remakes and interprets originals in a new way. Ravel’s orchestral instinct, his brilliant timbre ear, attention to structural detail, sense of proportion as well as his impeccable taste make him a genuine master of arrangement.

Texto completoResumen
Although John Pickard's music has received a good many performances and radio broadcasts over the past decade, it was the relay of his dazzling orchestral tone poem The Flight of Icarus (1990) during the 1996 Proms1 which brought him to the notice of the wider concert–going and –listening public. There is some justice in that piece attracting such attention, as it is one of his most immediate in impact, while completely representative of his output at large. That output to date encompasses three symphonies (1983–4, 1985–7, 1995–6) and five other orchestral works, three string quartets (1991, 1993, 1994; a fourth in progress), a piano trio (1990), sonatas for piano (1987) and cello and piano (1994–5), vocal and choral works, pieces for orchestral brass (Vortex, 1984–5) and brass band – the exhilarating Wildfire (1991), which crackles, hisses and spits in ferocious near–onomatopoeia, and suite Men of Stone (1995), celebrating four of the most impressive megalithic sites in Britain, one to each season of the year. There are other works for a variety of solo instruments and chamber ensembles, such as the intriguing grouping of flute, clarinet, harpsichord and piano trio in Nocturne in Black and Gold (1983) and the large–scale Serenata Concertante for flute and six instruments of a year later. Still in his mid-thirties – he was born in Burnley in 1963 – Pickard has already made almost all the principal musical forms of the Western Classical tradition his own, with only opera, ballet and the concerto as yet untackled.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract A now standard component of orchestral and wind band repertoire, Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber was originally intended to be ballet music. This study examines the history and background surrounding Paul Hindemith's orchestral piece and demonstrates how Hindemith crafted each movement based off Weber's original piano duets and incidental orchestral music. The study was undertaken as limited information exists about the piece in its entirety, and much of what has been written primarily concerns itself with grammatical and contextual aspects of Hindemith's title. Existing analyses either only focus on a singular movement, or are limited; presumably, due to a prevailing notion that Hindemith simply orchestrated the piano pieces. Potentially exacerbating the issue may be the fact that it was not known for nearly twenty years after Symphonic Metamorphosis was premiered which Weber duets Hindemith reworked. This analysis, coupled with the background information provided, shows that Hindemith's settings transcend mere orchestrations and, in some cases, exhibit qualities of original composition. The analysis thoroughly delineates Weber's Turandot overture and three piano duets, part by part and hand by hand, to show exactly where and how Hindemith altered the original writings. The differences in overall form, measure numbers, tempi, meter, and harmony are listed. In addition, it is revealed which thematic additions, alterations, and omissions Hindemith includes.

Texto completoResumen
In the past ten years a remarkable change has come over Brian Elias. He has turned from being a miniaturist to being a composer on a symphonic scale and with symphonic aspirations. Not that he has written any work with so self-conscious a title as ‘symphony’ – at least, not yet. But in these few years he has given us two extended cycles for voice and symphony orchestra, a large-scale single-movement orchestral work that must certainly be called symphonic, a set of 49 Variations for piano inspired by Beethoven's set of 32 in C minor, and now an orchestral ballet in progress for Kenneth Macmillan and the Royal Ballet. All these, and some impressive chamber works too, have come from a composer whose earlier reputation was based on a tiny scattering of compositions including a rarified solo soprano piece (based on a particularly obscure bit of Browning), a piece for solo violin, and the microscopic Five Piano Pieces for right hand alone.

Texto completoResumen
Given the chronological separation of Mozart's final piano concertos, K. 537 and K. 595, from his extraordinary sequence of 15 piano concertos of 1782-86 (K. 413-503), it is no surprise that critics have continually stressed stylistic and affective departures from the composer's norm. But the stylistic significance of these final concertos remains fundamentally misunderstood. In spite of sharply contrasting characteristics——ostentatious virtuosity in K. 537 and carefully measured writing in K. 595——these works are, in fact, kindred spirits. In both concertos Mozart experiments with the introduction of abrupt juxtapositions of harmonically contrasting material while avoiding the outright opposition of piano and orchestral forces evident in his earlier Viennese first movements; with piano figuration, omitting it when expected or reconstituting it at important formal junctures; and with unexpected thematic and harmonic disjunctions. While Mozart's harmonic experimentation in K. 537 and 595 can be partially explained in general stylistic terms, given similarities to passages in the last three symphonies, and considered representative of the "bizarre tonal sequences" and "striking modulations" often remarked upon by Mozart's contemporaries, it cannot be attributed to a fundamental shift in the composer's "world view." Rather, the complementary nature of radicalism and innovation in the two first movements in particular——K. 537 in the orchestral and solo expositions and recapitulation and K. 595 in the development——reveals these final concertos as thoroughly pragmatic and systematic essays in stylistic reinvention.

Brahms was commonly introduced as the successor to the classicism, while some consider him one of the most distinctive German composers of the 19th century. Among Brahms's oeuvre of various genre of orchestral, chamber, piano, and vocal music, large-scale works demonstrate the most obvious inheritance of classical style, however, they exhibit revolutionary qualities in specific technical aspects. This article explores some innovative features of Brahms's F sharp minor piano sonata in treatment of motive, tonal and syntax, to show that the progressive consciousness was emerging already in his early works.

The synthesis of ‘Classical’ and ‘Romantic’ concepts in the orchestration of Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto is discussed. The composer rethinks ways of presenting musical material in the orchestra by conceptualising both the ‘Classical’ orchestral structure (the size, the approach to the brass section) and the Romantic-like treatment of solos, alternations, etc. as unified domains.

The piano plays an important role, being the most popular musical instrument with the largest number of learners not only in Vietnam but also in the world. With a rich and varied expression, the piano can perform independently without any other instrument support and still achieve high artistic efficiency. Not only that, but due to its multi-vocal nature, the piano can be used as an orchestral instrument or as an accompaniment for vocals and other musical instruments. Therefore, the piano is a common and essential instrument for both professional and amateur musicians. Mastering the skill of playing the piano well will be the basis for the formation and development of creative thinking, in addition, it will help expand knowledge and create favorable conditions for all those who are studying music. general, or other musical instruments in particular. At the Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism, students of Music pedagogy are now equipped with basic knowledge and skills to play the piano to ensure good accompaniment for their future work.

A study of Johann Christian Bach's keyboard music prompts the obvious and important question: which of his sonatas and concertos were composed for harpsichord, and which for the piano? (Indeed, did he think of them as two distinct instruments at all?) And what sort of pianos did he have available on the occasions when he played them in public? Did he really play his ‘Solo on the Piano Forte’ at the Thatched House on 2 June 1768 (in a concert that consisted mainly of orchestral music) on a little Zumpe square, or was he already using a prototype English grand? When were these various models of piano first made in London, and what musical use did other composers and performers, as well as J. C. Bach, make of them?

С фортепианными переложениями как неотъемлемой частью музыкальной культуры XIX века Чайковский был связан на протяжении всей жизни. Обширную часть наследия композитора составляют переложения для фортепиано в 2 и 4 руки его собственных сочинений и произведений других авторов. Но если последние перекладывались Чайковским преимущественно в силу различных внешних обстоятельств, то переложениям собственных сочинений композитор уделял всегда особое внимание. Круг музыкантов, пользовавшихся доверием композитора в этом отношении, был весьма невелик и с течением времени неуклонно сужался. Чайковский стремился перекладывать свои сочинения самостоятельно, несмотря на постоянные жалобы на несовершенство переложения как формы представления оркестрового произведения и различные трудности при его создании. Всего композитором переложены более сорока его собственных сочинений. Помимо определенного этапа в истории самих произведений, переложения становились также частью фортепианного наследия Чайковского. Композитор неизменно настаивал на творческом характере создания переложений. В качестве примеров работы Чайковского в предлагаемой статье подробно рассмотрены переложения трех оркестровых сюит для фортепиано в 4 руки. With piano arrangements as an integral part of the musical culture of the XIX century, Tchaikovsky was associated for all his life. A large part of the composer’s legacy consists of arrangements for piano in 2 and 4 hands of his own compositions and works by other authors. But if Tchaikovsky made the latter ones mainly due to various external circumstances, he always paid special attention to the arrangements of his own compositions. The circle of musicians who enjoyed the composer’s confidence in this respect was very small and with time steadily narrowed. Tchaikovsky tried to make piano arrangements himself, despite the constant complaints about the imperfection of the transposition as a form of representation of the orchestral work and various difficulties in creating it. In total more than 40 of his own compositions have been arranged for piano by the composer. In addition to a certain stage in the history of the works themselves, the arrangements also became part of Tchaikovsky’s pianistic heritage. The composer invariably insisted on the creative nature of piano arrangements. In the proposed paper the four hands piano arrangements of three orchestral suites are considered in detail as examples of Tchaikovsky’s approach.

"Flowing Stream" is a Chinese folk song from Yunnan province with a high degree of popularity and popularity. It has been widely adapted by Chinese and foreign composers into various forms of musical expression, such as piano, accordion, orchestral music and opera, etc. Therefore, it can be seen that the work has been widely recognized and sung by composers and audiences. Therefore, it can be seen that the work is widely recognized and loved among composers and audiences. In this paper, we will choose different versions of "Flowing Stream" from six composers, namely, Zhao Xingdao, Zhu Jian'er, Ding Shande, Zhu Peibin, Wang Zhenyu, and Zhang Zhao, as the objects of study to analyze their compositional techniques in terms of musical structural features, nationalization features, and so on, so as to provide composers with some new ideas for exploration.

Many of Justin Connolly's works have been premièred and recorded by Nicholas Hodges, whose musicianship provided the inspiration for Connolly's Piano Concerto (2001–2003). The form and character of the piece are influenced by the ancient idea of the labyrinth, the forces of soloist and orchestra being well suited to the roles of Theseus and the Minotaur, where one protagonist signifies the existence of the other and the distinction between hero and villain is not always apparent. The orchestral forces employed are unexceptional. Brass and percussion are divided into two separate groups to the left and right of the conductor, whilst the first horn player sits apart from his colleagues and is mirrored by a fourth, offstage, horn player.

With the death of Joonas Kokkonen in October of 1996, Finland lost one of its most important post-World War II composers. Almost certainly, Kokkonen is most widely known outside Finland for his 1975 opera Viimeiset kiusaukset (Tlie Last Temptations). Yet his orchestral compositions such as the Cello Concerto (1969), the song cycle Lintuijen Tuonela (The Hades of the Birds, 1958–59), the Requiem (1981), the chamberorchestra work …Durch einen Spiegel… 1977), or such chamber works as the Piano Quintet (1953) or the String Quartets Nos.l (1959) and 3 (1976) demonstrate that masterpieces may be found in virtually every genre of Kokkonen's output. (Oddly, piano music represents a small and minor position in Kokkonen's oeuvre – a surprising fact given his accomplishments as a pianist.)

Miłosz Magin was a renowned Polish pianist and composer. He was born in Łódź, studied in Warsaw, was a prizewinner of several international piano competitions, successfully concerted all over the world and in 1960 he finally settled down in Paris. His compositional output covers numerous piano pieces, orchestral, chamber and vocal works, as well as a ballet. Pieces for children constitute an important and relatively large part of his oeuvre. The article discusses five cycles of miniatures (38 pieces in total), dedicated to pupils at the elementary level of piano learning: Obrazki z Polski (1982), Miniatury polskie (1982), Kółko graniaste (1987), Karnawał lalek for four hands (1990) and Zaczarowane zabawki (1996). The pieces have didactic qualities and play the two roles: they gradually introduce a pupil into the world of music and they help to master the piano technique. They develop, in particular, fingers’ dexterity, chordal and arpeggio technique, precision while realization various rhythmic structures, mastery of large leaps on the keyboard. Performing Magin’s music sensitizes to the timbre of pitches in different registers, to changeable dynamics, original harmony, bitonality, phrasing, articulation, agogic and proper interpretation. His compositions develop children’s imagination and familiarize them with diverse timbres of the piano. They are little masterpieces, put into a terse form of a miniature.

The article provides an overview of the “Nine Pieces for Piano Four-Hands” cycle of the late period of the work of Nikolai Rakov, a Russian composer of the 20th century. Allusions are actively used in the cycle, which consists of pieces of different genres, and the infl uence of various composing schools is noticeable. Having passed a long creative path, the composer seems to embody the need to create a musical offering to his great predecessors and contemporaries, involving expressive means of various styles. Masterfully using the arsenal of piano tools for children’s performance, he achieves the most vivid performing solutions and a variety of orchestral colours. At the same time, the culmination of the cycle and the fi nale are native Russian pieces that give the cycle a vividly national fl avour.

The purpose of this study was to identify the perceived factors affecting the competence of choral accompanists as a choral conductor and choral accompanist(n=65). The results of this study indicated that the musical communication skill with choral conductor, the preparation for choral rehearsals, the ability of playing piano with exact rhythm, the cooperative attitudes were the most influential factors affecting the competence of choral accompanists. Also, choral conductors and accompanists indicated that piano techniques to adjust tone color including the effect of orchestral sound for the choral works were the essential factors for choral accompanists. Other important factors affecting the competence of choral accompanists were the sight-reading skills and the ability that manages a panic situation during the performance. Recommendation and conclusion were provided for choral accompanists.

Background. In the last two decades there was a constantly increasing scholar interest to Kharkiv school of composition as a phenomenon of Ukrainian musical culture. Despite this, a lot of unstudied questions remain, which need to be researched. This includes problems of orchestral thinking, orchestral style and orchestral writing of Kharkiv composers, particularly, D. Klebanov and V. Zolotukhin. The novelty lies in the systematization of the principles of orchestration in the symphonies of D. Klebanov (based on the symphonies 1, 3, 6, 7) and the First Symphony of V. Zolotukhin. Analysis of literature. Orchestral music of both composers is researched quite sporadically. Its several facets are studied in works by M. Cherkashyna (1968), I. Frumina (1969), O. Gusarova (1988), T. Krasnopolska (1964), Yu. Malysheva (1967), N. Ocheretovska (2007), Е. Ponomarenko (2005), O. Roschenko (2005; 2016), А. Zamotaylo (2001), O. Zinkevych (2005), I. Zolotovytska (1980), A. Dmitriyeva (2016). There is an article by H. Savchenko (2018), specially devoted to orchestration of D. Klebanov The goal of this article is to reveal the principles of orchestration in symphonies by D. Klebanov (No. 1, 3, 6, 7) and V. Zolotukhin (No. 1) in aspect of comparative analysis. In the article the author operates such methods of research as analytical, functional, and comparative. Conclusions. In results of studying of orchestral works by D. Klebanov and V. Zolotukhin (First Symphony) in aspects of orchestral thinking and principles of orchestration, we have reached the following conclusions: 1) both composers prefer a triple orchestra, which is quite flexible, in order to achieve full-bodied orchestral texture and be able to operate different timbral colours; 2) in the works of both composer, there is an inclination to equal understanding of orchestral groups, including percussion in the first Symphony by V. Zolotukhin; 3) in the vertical projection there is a differentiation of the groups through orchestral functions, which causes a great transparency of the score; 4) much more slow changes of type of a texture and timbral combinations in horizontal projection sets apart orchestration of V. Zolotukhin from orchestration of D. Klebanov; 5) overall, orchestration of V. Zolotukhin is more dense, filled with doubles, it is dominated by “large touch”, which causes continuity and smaller degree of detailing; 6) a special trait of orchestration of D. Klebanov is thinking by timbral and textural layers with obvious distinction of orchestral function between them. Inside of these layers there is an additional split of orchestral functions which causes rather rare usage of doubles between instruments of different orchestral groups. For V. Zolotukhin, thinking with clearly defined timbral and textural layers is characteristic, which tells about realisation of orchestral polyphonic thinking on the macro level or the whole texture; 7) in orchestration of both composers there is a tendency to colouring: in the First Symphony by V. Zolotukhin it is brighter and more robust due to usage of more diverse timbral palette (from piano harp, celesta to extended group of percussion).

Adolphe Sax invented the last widely spread orchestral wind instrument in 1846, and the saxophone has hardly changed since its inception. Also, outside of classical music, wind instruments have not evolved with very few exceptions in popular music, like the melodica. The latter was popular in the mid 20th century, because it was one of the cheapest instruments with a piano-style keyboard before mass-produced electronic keyboards. Since its inception, jazz drew from traditional orchestral wind instruments that were invented long before jazz came up. They were easily available as they were widely spread in military ensembles. This presentation looks into the factors that stalled the evolution of mainstream wind instruments during the 19th century, such as instrument affordability, practice habits, conservatory education practices, standardization, and cultural identification. While individual instrument makers and musicians continue to develop fundamentally new wind instruments, they no longer exceed experimental status. Instead, widespread innovations now focus on electronic and digital musical instruments.

Free classification was used to explore similarity relations in contemporary musical materials. Thirty-four subsections from the five themes of The Angel of Death by Roger Reynolds were composed identically for piano (Expt. 1) and chamber orchestra (Expt. 2) in terms of pitch, rhythm, and dynamics. Listeners were asked to group together those judged to be musically similar and to describe the similarities between the subsections in each group. Listeners based their classifications on surface similarities related to tempo, rhythmic and melodic texture, pitch register, melodic contour, and articulation. They were to some extent also based on similarity of the mood evoked by the excerpts. This latter factor was more prominent in the verbalizations for the orchestral version. Instrumentation, timbre, and type of timbral change (smooth, disjunctive) also affected classifications in the orchestral version. Perceptual relations among thematic materials within the piece and the interaction of form-bearing dimensions in musical similarity perception are discussed.

Judith Bingham is currently one of the most sought-after composers in Britain. Following the breakthrough occasioned by the première in 1993 of her first orchestral work, Chartres (1988), she received commissions from organizations such as the BBC Philharmonic, the Proms, Hereford Three Choirs Festival, the Northern Sinfonia and Westminster Abbey. Although one of her most successful works is undoubtedly her elegiac Piano Trio entitled Chapman's Pool (1997), which has already received over seventy performances, she has produced a series of impressive large-scale compositions which build on the qualities that made Chartres such a triumph. They all possess a heightened sense of atmosphere – usually centred on a specific place – a fine ear for orchestral colour and an ability to create an immediate impact, either through massive pounding tuttis or by means of wraith-like chamber textures. It is especially frustrating that none of Judith Bingham's works for large forces are available on disc: a serious omission I hope will soon be rectified.

I have as I before stated, not yet played this season in the great Concerts [at the Gewandhaus] because I preferred to wait until I was just leaving Leipzig, and had finished all my compositions for the Publisher, therefore on the 3rd. March I will if possible play a new Concerto which I have in hand.THIS, in a letter to Mary Anne Wood dated 7 February 1842, is the earliest specific mention of Bennett's last piano concerto, which was never published and for many years was missing. Only a ‘tantalising fragment’ of a two-piano reduction made by the composer's son and biographer, J. R. Sterndale Bennett, was known to researchers. Autograph manuscripts of two versions of the work, and two sets of orchestral parts copied for different performances, have recently come to light during the present author's research on Bennett. The discovery enables a fresh assessment to be made of an ‘unpublished work of outstanding importance’ by a composer of relatively few large-scale pieces, composed at the end of his most creative period and when he was arguably at the height of his powers. It also presents the possibility of the concerto's performance and publication, 150 years after its conception. A summary of all the sources now known is given in Table 1.

The paper outlines the features of emergence and development of the piano concerto on its way towards drama from a historical perspective, analyses specific features of its genre nature, and reveals the types of the concerto’s dramaturgy differing from one another in form and style of the interaction between the soloist and the orchestra. The paper demonstrates that the piano concerto followed the path of development of an individual performer principle, and afterward that of a dialogical balance between the orchestra and the piano part, which was determined by the degree of composers’ innovative achievements and the dominant aesthetic paradigm. In terms of highlighting the genre of the piano concerto and genre specificity of piano and orchestral music, the compositional-analytical approach proved to be productive. The analysis revealed that the movement towards drama in the historical perspective of the piano concerto was uneven with occasional drifts towards the so-called “style brilliant.” Depending on the type of drama, the correlation between the solo and the orchestra changed. In the 20th century, due to the radical transformation of the cultural paradigm, the genre of the concerto was restructured; composers abandoned traditional forms and tried to create an individual project form for each work. The study indicates the parameters of change in the genre, form, and style of the piano concerto under the influence of the newest paradigm of the time: repudiation of the traditional genre forms, creation of hybrid forms such as“anti-genre,” “hypergenre,” or a complete negation of the genre and creation of an individual genre project.

The purpose of the article is to investigate in the piano work of the Ukrainian composer S.Yarunsky in his four symphonies for piano, a new type of figurative content and innovative means of musical expression. Methodology. The method of complex analysis is applied: the figurative content and musical form of four “symphonies” for piano are analyzed and their stylistic features are revealed. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time in Ukrainian musicology, the Four Symphonies for Piano by S.Yarunsky have been analyzed in detail and conclusions have been drawn based on this analysis. Conclusions. Four “symphonies” for piano by S.Yarunsky in Ukrainian music of the 1990s were indeed a new and important word. At that time, the composer formed his position regarding this genre: the use of the term “symphony” is associated with the author's desire to expand the timbre palette of the instrument, to orchestral multi-timbre thinking. S.Yarunsky is constantly looking for new themes and subjects, including those related to the era of pre-Christian Russia. The artist significantly expands the scope of the maticism to create specific images, looking for new means of musical expression and compositional schemes. A little time has passed since the appearance of S.Yarunsky's “symphonies”, but they managed to enter the creative process of modern Ukrainian music and performing practice.

In the modern musicology of our country, the issues of the modal structure of national music in its folk and classical branches are the most relevant. And they require a detailed study of the historical and theoretical aspects of fret thinking both in traditional classical and folk Uzbek music, and in the works of composers of our country. The article deals with some theoretical and historical aspects in the use of the means of musical expression of two composers of Uzbekistan: A. F. Kozlovsky and A. Nabiev. A brief comparative analysis of the stylistic features of orchestral and piano processing, its fret and harmonic organization, the sound representation of Uzbek folk instruments by means of a symphony orchestra and vocals, as well as in the piano texture – in two historical periods of the development of the composer's creativity of Uzbekistan is given.

AbstractThis essay traces the development of Justin Connolly's music from the orchestral Antiphonies of 1966 through to the Piano Concerto of 2001–3, showing how within a remarkably consistent idiom there has been a slow process of focal change from a predominantly vertical structuring to a graciously complex, vertically rich, energetic linearity, embracing a wide variety of works on its unhurried journey, and by no means excluding drama and expressivity from its uncompromising idiom. Most of the analytical writing is on the Piano Concerto, which in its way summarizes all that precedes it, showing how a metaphorical labyrinth can be interestingly kaleidoscopic in its richness. The essay also demonstrates how, like several other British composers of his generation, Connolly has found his own individual, structurally significant way of bringing together techniques from the early Renaissance and the 20th century.

Статья посвящена оркестровой и хореографической версиям пьесы «Papillons» из фортепианного цикла Р. Шумана «Карнавал». Рассматриваются особенности оркестровки Н. Черепнина. При сохранении основных элементов структуры, тонально-гармонического плана, фактуры пьесы оркестровка Черепнина демонстрирует свободное обращение с регистрами и различную технику оркестрового письма. Красочная оркестровка вносит свежесть и новизну в музыку Шумана, помогая воплотить пластический образ Бабочки в одноактном балете Фокина «Карнавал». Сюжетным продолжением сцены «Бабочка и Пьеро» стал последующий одноактный балет Фокина «Бабочки» на музыку одноименного цикла Шумана в оркестровке Черепнина. The article is dedicated to the orchestral and choreographic versions of the play “Papillons” from R. Schumann’s piano cycle “Carnaval”. The features of N. Tcherepnin’s orchestration are considered. While maintaining the basic elements of the structure, the tonal-harmonic plan, the texture of the piece, Tcherepnin’s orchestration demonstrates free handling of registers and various orchestral writing techniques. Colorful orchestration brings freshness and novelty to Schumann’s music, helping to embody the plastic image of the Butterfly in Fokine’s one-act ballet “Carnaval”. The plot continuation of the scene “Butterfly and Pierrot” was the subsequent one-act ballet “Les Papillons” by Fokine to the music of the cycle of the same name by Schumann, orchestrated by Tcherepnin.

In spring 1975 the British composer and writer Bill Hopkins completed an orchestration of Debussy's Lindaraja. Paul Griffiths has reported that Hopkins believed this to be ‘the only one of Debussy's piano works which was intended as a sketch of an orchestral composition’. As an expert on both French music and orchestration, Hopkins was admirably qualified for the job. But as we have no written record of his ideas on the subject we need to analyze the musical evidence as it stands, to see what might justify his view of the piece.

The object of the study is the piano work of the famous Chinese composer, teacher Du Minxin (born 1928). The genre composition of his piano work is diverse – it includes miniatures, suite cycles, concerts, fantasies, toccatas. A separate place is occupied by piano transcriptions created by the composer on the material of his own ballets – "Red Women's Squad", "Mermaid". The subject of the study is a piano suite based on the ballet "Rusalka", which is a repertoire composition in concert and pedagogical practice in China. The purpose of the work is to identify the stylistic and performing features of the work necessary for the successful interpretation of the work. In the process of preparing the material, theoretical and empirical research methods were involved, including analysis, generalization and systematization of scientific sources, stylistic and performance analysis of the suite "Mermaid" by Du Mingxin. As a result of a detailed examination of a number of plays, the features of the figurative structure, form formation, intonation, harmonic language, texture are revealed. Special attention is paid to the performing tasks that a pianist needs to solve when referring to this composition. In particular, the author deals with the issues of stroke technique, pedalization, tempo and dynamic dramaturgy, disclosure and use of the timbre-coloristic possibilities of the piano. Of particular importance in the performance of the composition is the orchestrality of the piano sound. The conclusion is made about the importance of preliminary analysis of the orchestral score when performing piano transcription of ballet music. In the Russian research literature, the suite on Du Minxin's ballet "The Mermaid" is considered in detail for the first time.

The first of an uninterrupted series of piano works to follow the orchestral Prometheus, op. 60 (1908–10), Scriabin's Sixth Sonata, op. 62 (1911), is a striking example of what may be termed an ‘octatonic sonata’. Indeed, the Sixth Sonata shows Scriabin experimenting with the octatonic at its most rigid and is unique in containing long spans of pure octatonic writing where not a single extraneous note is invoked. In contrast to the Fifth Sonata, op. 53 (1907), which is closely associated with the Poem of Ecstasy, op. 54 (1905–8), the Sixth Sonata has only loose ties with Prometheus.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of three different amounts of music training and specific types of music training on the style preferences of college non-music majors. 176 college non-music majors recorded their preference for 19 musical examples in varying popular and non-popular styles. Subjects completed a Personal Information Form to determine their years of music training and specific types of music training. Results showed that subjects with five years or more of music training gave significantly greater overall music preference ratings than subjects with fewer years of training. Differences were also found between subjects with three differing amounts of training for instrumental jazz, orchestral classical, vocal classical, and classical piano music. Responses showed differences in preference ratings between subjects who had been in choir, band, and piano lessons. Participation in band appeared to have the greatest impact on preference for non-popular styles of music.

Piano is used for music and comprises a stringed keyboard instrument wherein the strings are tapped by softer-coated wooden hammers. The score providing music for the piano, often a compressed transcription of orchestral music, is referred to as piano score. Presently, the Internet is overflowing with music score resources. Having so many music score resources available, professional learners and amateur music lovers are unable to identify and obtain music score information that matches their needs and wasting valuable time. Due to the rapid development of deep learning algorithms, some individuals utilize these algorithms to detect piano scores and construct composition systems, reducing the need of traditional machine learning algorithms on manual design and music knowledge guidelines. This paper uses the deep learning algorithm to construct piano score recognition framework based on K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm and formulates the recognition system into multinote that significantly improves the recognition rate for the system. The self-attention mechanism is then introduced in order to build a composition system based on a deep learning algorithm in which composition training and processes are described. Finally, a comparative experiment is conducted to evaluate the recognition accuracy for the KNN-based piano score recognition system. The results show that highest recognition accuracy of this system is 67.5%. The effect of composition system is evaluated based on prediction accuracy of notes. Three experiments are conducted to train the composition notes. As a result, the prediction accuracy of experiments 1, 2, and 3 is 89.2%, 91.8%, and 92.7%, respectively, indicating that the system has a high prediction accuracy and a perfect composition effect.

The article deals with the general and specific issues of accordion transcription development. The peculiarities of this process depend largely on the discourse of the original creations, selected for transcription. Most of them belong to the homophonic-harmonic style, usually corresponding to the period of musical classicism and romanticism, and are written for piano or violin solo, or with orchestral accompaniment. The author focuses on the specifics of the given instruments, analyses the transcription of homophonic-harmonic creations from a historical perspective. At the same time, specific features and recommendations are presented in order to create accordion versions of musical creations in this style.

Texto completoResumen
Statement of the problem. Christian Sinding is the first composer after Edward Grieg, whose name resonated in wide circles of the musical community not only in Norway, but also in Europe, in particular Germany. His works were widely performed and aroused general interest, being evidence of the high status of national Norwegian music. In Ukraine, the figure of Sinding is little known, and his works are performed very rarely, despite the fact that his heritage, in particular the piano one, deserves attention and study as a vivid expression of the national style in the music of the early and first half of the 20th century. The style of performance of Sinding’s piano works was also not the subject of special research either in the world or in Ukrainian musicology. Recent research and publications. The creative personality of Sinding appears in generalizing studies on the history of Norwegian music (Rowbotham, 1916; Qvamme, 1949; Grinde, 1981; Herresthal, 1987; Holth, 2014), and the composer’s piano heritage is included in the context of the evolution of European piano art (Herresthal, 1987). The figure of Sinding is also highlighted in works in the genre of creative portraits (Altmann, 1936, Gaukstad, 1956) and in biographical studies. These works contain brief descriptions of the musical material of a significant part of the composer’s works. The dissertation of the Norwegian singer and scientist Per Vollestad, dedicated to Sinding’s vocal work, should be considered the most thorough study of his creativity at the moment (Vollestad, 2002). Nevertheless, in the mentioned sources, the piano music of Sinding, in particular, large-scale genres, did not become the subject of a special study, as well as the question of its stylistic attribution in the context of post-romanticism. Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. The purpose of the study is to present the individual composer style of Sinding as of an experience of post-romantic worldview in the context of the trends of the modernism era based on the performance interpretation of large-scale piano works (Sonata and Concerto). The scientific novelty of the topic is determined by the lack of information about the specifics of Sinding’s piano style and artistic thinking in available scientific sources; in particular, we rely on self-own experience of interpreting Sinding’s selected works. The following methods were used in the study: historically typological that helps to outline the stages of evolution and stylistic trends of European piano art; the genre approach that identifies the established models of instrumental music of the European tradition (sonata, concerto); stylistic one revealing the regularities of the Norwegian artist’s individual way of thinking; and interpretative method that allows to understand of the composer’s embodiment of the sound image of the piano in the light of post-romanticism. Results and conclusion. Sinding’s large-scale piano works, the Concerto (1890s) and Sonata (1909) belong to the post-romantic European tradition. The thematic, functional and compositional analysis of the composer’s text of these works made it possible to reveal the fundamental principles of the author’s thinking, which bases on the synthesis of classical-romantic and national Norwegian musical language. Among the leading principles of piano style should be singled out: – the significance of the melody as the main carrier of the author’s thought, which serves as the foundation of the textural and timbre decoration of the theme-image; – a thematic presentation in octave duplications, which makes the piano texture close to an orchestral sound; – double national-stylistic identity: intonation (melos, mode, rhythm) has national-Norwegian roots; compositional regularities follow the German Romantic tradition; – frequent use of the technique of re-harmonizing motifs and phrases, the great role of polyphonic development (including imitative ones: canonical exposition in the development of the 1st movement of the Sonata); – the concert nature of the piano texture; – the richness of the orchestral accompaniment (in the accompanying part, solo horn and woodwinds as personification of the “voices of nature” should be noted). Thus, the post-romantic thinking of C. Sinding in the conceptual genres of piano music serves as an artistic counterpoint to the European style of the border of the 19–20th centuries, enriching its national component, universalizing and conceptualizing the romantic due to expanding of musical language means.

В центре внимания — черты оркестрового стиля Николая Черепнина. Он является автором ряда произведений в разных жанрах, основоположником дирижерской школы в нашей стране. Ученик Н. А. Римского-Корсакова, он унаследовал от него огромный интерес к оркестру и свойствам инструментов, который нашел выражение во всех видах деятельности музыканта. Рассматриваются особенности дирижерской деятельности и практики Черепнина в руководстве оркестром. Отмечено, что музыкант практиковался в дирижировании всю свою жизнь. Изучение современных партитур способствовало росту его эрудиции, что положительно отразилось на педагогике и формировании дирижерской школы в нашей стране. Композиторское творчество отличается постоянными поисками новых средств, в том числе — и в области звука. Подчеркнутая декоративность музыкальных картин Черепнина является одним из их достоинств. Впервые приводится анализ Концерта для фортепиано с оркестром до-диез минор Черепнина, до сих пор не становившегося предметом исследования музыковедов. Показано, что сочинение демонстрирует повышенное внимание композитора к оркестру, его красочной выразительности. Для него типичны преобладание изобразительности, картинности в воплощении семантики сказки. Выявлено, что оркестровый стиль Николая Черепнина является промежуточным этапом между пониманием оркестра Н. А. Римским-Корсаковым и его трактовкой молодыми композиторами — И. Стравинским, С. Прокофьевым, Александром Черепниным и другими The focus is on the features of Nikolai Cherepnin’s orchestral style. He is the author of a number of works in various genres, the founder of the conducting school in our country. A student of N. Rimsky-Korsakov, he inherited from him a great interest in the orchestra and the properties of instruments, which found expression in all types of musician’s activities. The features of Cherepnin’s conducting activity and practice in leading the orchestra are considered. It is noted that the musician has been practicing conducting all his life. The study of modern scores contributed to the growth of his erudition, which had a positive impact on pedagogy and the formation of a conducting school in our country. Compositional creativity is characterized by constant search for new means, including in the field of sound. The emphasized decorative nature of Cherepnin’s musical paintings is one of their advantages. For the first time, an analysis of Cherepnin’s Piano Concerto in C-sharp Minor, which has not yet been the subject of research by musicologists, is presented. It is shown that the composition demonstrates the composer’s increased attention to the orchestra and its colorful expressiveness. The predominance of figurativeness and picturesqueness in the embodiment of the semantics of a fairy tale is typical for him. It is revealed that Nikolai Cherepnin’s orchestral style is an intermediate stage between Rimsky-Korsakov’s understanding of the orchestra and its interpretation by young composers I. Stravinsky, S. Prokofiev, Alexander Cherepnin and others

Fifteen years ago, Nicolas Slonimsky wrote of Benjamin Lees in Tempo: ‘At a time when so many otherwise valiant composers are star-crossed and complain of malign neglect, Benjamin Lees rises “in excelsis” in the musical firmament’. And so he has continued since, with many commissions and numerous major works to his credit, matched by frequent performances in the United States. It is a time that has seen the creation of his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies, a set of Variations for Piano and Orchestra, a Concerto for Brass Choir and Orchestra, a Double Concerto for Piano, Cello and Orchestra, at least four other orchestral compositions of substantial scale, and the Third and Fourth String Quartets. All of these have contributed to his continuing high profile in the American musical scene. When one surveys Lees's entire corpus of music over the last four decades, one sees an impressive range of works, achievements and awards. Such pieces as the Violin Concerto (1958), Third Symphony (1969) and Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra (1965), all commercially recorded, stand out as landmarks not only of his own music but of postwar American music generally. His style has continued to evolve in recent years and whilst his hallmark is still his adherence to form and structure, he has become more concerned with orchestral sonority and, without becoming explicitly programmatic, practises his art within an ever-widening sound spectrum and colouristic palette. He has always possessed a strongly individual personality, and the ‘Lees Sound’ is unquestionably unique, even through his exposition and development of musical ideas-and the technique of continual evolution which he favours at present-derive, at source, from his most important early musical teacher: George Antheil.

The article we presented is devoted to the analysis of A.Dadashov's piano music. Although some of the composer's piano works have been examined in various studies, this heritage has not been examined in its entirety. The images created by A.Dadashov include the relationship between man and the universe, the desire for the creation of the individual world, as well as aspects related to the inner world of man. Piano music, which is an important part of A.Dadashov's work, is represented by various genres, large and small. Here you can find all kinds of genres, from piano and orchestral concerts to small preludes. Thus, the composer's piano music offers a wide choice for pianists of different ages. Azer Dadashov's piano works include three concerts written for piano and camera orchestra, as well as a series of small miniatures and independent plays. The composer composed three concerts for piano and orchestra. The first concert took place in 2004, the second in 2009 and the third in 2010. Miniature genres dominate Azer Dadashov's piano music. The series for young pianists is particularly noteworthy here. A.Dadashov’s “Six Preludes”, “Six Miniatures”, “For the Flower” consisting of seven dances, as well as four sonatinas, pastoral, etc. There are piano works. Taking into account the technical abilities of the young pianist, who has mastered the art of performance, the composer tried to portray the children's colorful dance power, the world of bright images and create interesting musical panels. The composer's piano series “Six Preludes” (1966), “Six miniatures” (1968), “Six melancholy miniatures” (1985), “For Flowers” (1986), and “Atmacalar” (2001) are included in the children's music teaching repertoire. These miniatures are widely included in the concert program of school and young pianists. As the name suggests, most of these sequences are programmed. In sequences of a particular genre, each instance has its own image-emotional content and is ordered within the sequence according to a certain linking principle. Azer Dadashov's piano music is also characteristic of independent plays of different volume and content. These include “Poema” (2012), “Space song” (2015), “Bagatel” (2010), “Praise”, “Funny dance” (2009), four sonatas, “Three almonds and a walnut” for piano and chamber orchestra. ”, “Sacrifice of God”, “My Flag”, “Trial”, “Grace” and others. Although the use of modern means of expression and the writing techniques of the composer are observed in A.Dadashov's piano music, the composer prefers classical traditions to embody the form. In the composer's music, each motif serves to embody the main idea down to the smallest detail, depending on its general content.

This paper compares the first movements of Beethoven's and Mozart's piano concertos in C minor, exploring the similarities and differences between these two seminal works. By examining various aspects, including the key, composition background, form, motifs, harmony, orchestral arrangements, dialogue between instruments, and piano writing, the study reveals Mozart's profound influence on Beethoven while highlighting the latter's unique innovations. The analysis delves into the significance of the C minor key for both composers, their use of the double exposition form, and the structural design of the movements. The study also investigates the composers' employment of similar motifs and materials, demonstrating how they maintained unity throughout their respective works by deriving most elements from the first exposition. Furthermore, the paper examines the intricate dialogue between the piano and the orchestra, showcasing how both composers utilized the orchestra for harmonic support, melodic enhancement, and imitative counterpoint. Particular attention is given to the way Beethoven paid homage to Mozart through his treatment of the cadenza and the coda. The comparison of piano writing reveals similarities in texture and general structure, with both composers employing arpeggios, scales, and trills as central themes, contrasted with lyrical sub-themes. However, the study also highlights Beethoven's more dramatic and extended treatment of the contrasting sections. Through this comprehensive analysis, the paper illuminates the profound influence of Mozart on Beethoven's compositional style while also showcasing the latter's innovative approach, which helped usher in a new era of musical expression at the dawn of the Romantic period.

Throughout the nineteenth century, massive quantities of four-hand piano transcriptions were published of virtually every musical genre. Indeed, no other medium before the advent of the radio and phonograph was arguably so important for the dissemination and iterability of concert and chamber repertories. Yet such transcriptions proved to be anything but innocent vehicles of translation. Not only did these four-hand arrangements offer simplified facsimiles of most orchestral works blanched of their instrumental timbres (a result that was often compared to the many reproductive engravings and black-and-white lithographs of artworks that were churned out by publishers at the same time); such arrangements also destabilized traditional musical divisions between symphonic and chamber genres, professional and amateur music cultures, and even repertories gendered as masculine and feminine. By bringing music intended for the public sphere of the concert hall, opera house, and salon into the domestic space of the bourgeois home parlor, the four-hand transcription profoundly altered the generic identity and consequent reception of musical works.

In conjunction with Wolfgang Amadé Mozart's 265th birthday on 27 January 2021, the Salzburg International Mozarteum Foundation presented a premiere performance and an online edition of the recently rediscovered Allegro in D major for Piano, K. 626b/16. While the authenticity of the document and of Mozart's handwriting appears to be beyond doubt, Mozart's authorship has been designated "conjectural" in the RISM data released alongside the piece's edition. In this study I set out to examine the question of authenticity of this miniature, demonstrably a piano reduction of an orchestral composition, from a style-analytical perspective. Some aspects recall Mozart's London Sketchbook, dated almost a decade earlier than the editor's proposed dating for K. 626b/16, 1773; however, no compelling connection between the two can be established. The piece's midway position between a sonata-dance and a sonata-allegro movement, and its particular employment of voice-leading schemata and musical punctuation, deem Mozart's authorship unlikely. I discuss its possible origin as a ballet number in conjunction with the genres of the chaconne and the stage minuet. Borrowings from K. 626b/16 are identified in both the first movement of Mozart's Symphony K. 128 and the closing chorus of Lucio Silla, suggesting a date no later than the first months of 1772. Elements of the piano piece resurfacing in later well-known Mozart works substantiate its lasting influence on the composer.

Brahms is a giant in the era of romantic music, his works contain complex and delicate ideological changes in the hearts of the characters. His creative inspiration is deeply influenced by Schumann and other musicians, and the musical language expression in his works is sometimes tactful and sometimes obscure. Brahms has composed a large number of musical works throughout his life, including a large number of orchestral works, piano ensemble works, string ensemble works, solo piano songs, piano four-hand joint play, vocal duets, chorus, and solo works. Brahms's violin concerto consists of three movements, including the moderate Allegro in the first movement, the flexibility in the second movement, and the lively Allegro in the third movement. The first movement uses a 3/4 beat rhythm, a sonata style, the second movement uses a 2/4 rhythm, three paragraphs, and the third movement is also called the game-style Allegro, as the name suggests, is very fun, like a game. It uses a 2/4 beat rhythm, with an irregular rondo style. This article aims to helping learners to under its writing background and writing connotation of the Brahms Violin Concerto in depth, and to truly helping them restore a series of problems such as the deep promotion of the composer’s creation process and the origin of inspiration.
