Vladimir Tarnopolsky’s …Le vent des mots
One of the main vectors of Vladimir Tarnopolsky’s compositional strategy, which is conditioned by the composer’s constant interest in exploring the primary element of music, consists in the search for novelty in sound material. For Tarnopolsky, the creation and structuring of sound involve its plastic metamorphoses, which regulate the “growth” and “branching” of sonorous tissue to form the trajectories of acoustic flows that ensure the processual…
La molinara in the Theatre of Stepan S. Apraksin (Based on the Note Manuscripts of the Apraksin & Golitsyn’s Collection in the Russian State Library)
The article considers the features of the Russian version of Giovanni Paisiello’s opera La molinara. The Moscow premiere by the Russian Imperial Troupe took place in 1816 in the house of Stepan S. Apraksin on Bolshaya Znamenka. The Apraksin & Golitsyn’s Collection in the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian State Library (F. 11/III) has preserved manuscript materials of the combined part of the performers with the Russian text underlay for tw…
Vasily Titov’s Two-choir Concertos in Light of Nikolai Diletsky’s Amplification Theory
Of special relevance in the research of Russian music of the Baroque period are the methods of analysis that appeal to the music theory textbooks of that time. This article examines for the first time the theory of amplification developed by Nikolai Diletsky in his treatise Musikiyskaya grammatika [Musical Grammar]: the most significant techniques are disclosed of expansion of composition, which include exact repetition and various types of varie…
The Musical Rhetoric of Richard Strauss
Perhaps the main particular feature of Richard Strauss as a composer is his incomparable gift for musical characterization. He was able to convey literally everything in sounds: both material and concrete things, as well as all sorts of abstract ideas and concepts. An increased attention to the details of the musical text, stage-related situations, and the behavior of various protagonist determines the special mobility and lability of musical pre…
“Spanish Trace” in the Plot, Libretto, and Stage Performances of Beethoven’s Opera Fidelio
The article considers the various connections between Ludwig van Beethoven’s opera Fidelio and specific elements pertaining to Spanish culture. According to the libretto, the events take place in a state prison near Seville. Beethoven’s librettists (Joseph Sonnleithner, Stephan von Breuning and Georg Friedrich Treitschke) closely followed the original source, Jean-Nicolas Bouilly’s play Léonore, ou L’amour conjugal, which had originally been set …
Theorist, Composer, Music Teacher Mikhail Berezovsky and His “Adaptation” of Nikolay Diletsky’s Treatise
The article is devoted to the Baroque theorist and composer Mikhail Berezovsky. In the scholarly literature, it is already possible to find some references to his musicological treatise consisting of two parts: A Brief Exposition of Musical Singing (elementary music theory) and Grammar. A Collection from Many (theory of composition). We have also discovered Berezovsky’s 12-voice partesny concerto Who shall ascend the Hill of the Lord? Due to fili…
The Beauties and the Beasts
In Russia the music of André Ernest Modeste Grétry acquired its fame during the times of Empress Catherine the Great and Emperor Paul. His theatrical works were performed with great success by the artists of the French Court Troupe, the Free Russian Theater, the serfs’ theater of the Sheremetev’s, and the female wards of the Smolny Institute. Rare editions and manuscript copies of Grétry’s copies are preserved in numerous Russian libraries. Most …
The Creation of the Myth about the Failure of Georges Bizet’s Carmen. Following the Materials of the French Press of the Years 1875–1883
The stage fate of Georges Bizet’s last opera Carmen has become surrounded by legends for a long time. For a long period of time in musicology in Russia and in other countries it was considered that the composition was received rather coldly by the critics, whereas the world premiere, which took place on March 3, 1875 resulted in a failure. An analysis of the articles published in the periodicals of 1875 reveals the erroneousness of this fact: the…
Opera which Involves Dance, or Ballet which Involves Singing
The article is devoted to the receptivity of the premiere performances of André Grétry’s musical comedies on the stage of the Paris Royal Academy of Music in the 1780s. Our attention becomes focused on materials of critical reviews in the French press, which became public responses to the premiere productions and testimonies that the ballets in such performances not merely played a significant role, but frequently became the main causes of enthus…
C. Le Jeune’s Dodecahorde
A 16th century composer would typically borrow a monophonic melody as cantus firmus for their new composition. As a rule, no notable changes were made and the borrowed material would remain, at least within the work itself, a “solid melody”. For his polyphonic psalm collection Dodecachorde, Claude Le Jeune chose cantus firmus from the melodies of the Genevan Psalter. They are not always quoted literally. At times, they take a different mode of th…
Music is an Architecture Revived
Vincent d’Indy developed his own understanding of the ideal algorithm of constructing musical forms. In support of his concept, he took a general artistic perspective. His aim, apparently, was to confirm the special status of the suggested compositional strategies as universal for different kinds of art. These strategies are grounded in such categories as rhythm, order, proportionality, and symmetry inherent to any kind of spatial/temporal art wi…
“I laughed like a madman at the music alone…” Borodin’s operetta heroic warriors in Victor Krylov's letters to Nikolay Savitsky
The article is the first publication of 22 letters by playwright Viktor Krylov to Nikolay Savitsky, Stage Director of the Moscow Opera Сompany. The letters were discovered in 2020 in the State Historical Museum. The preparation of the article included dating and commenting on the letters. All the letters date from 1866 to 1867. Most of them are devoted to Heroic Warriors (1867), an operetta by Alexander Borodin based on the libretto by Krylov. Th…
The Steel Step ballet by Sergei Prokofiev in Paris and London (1927)
The creative dialogue between Sergei Diaghilev and Sergei Prokofiev is one of the key issues on the agenda of modern musicology. Among the productions developed for Diaghilev’s ballet company, one work with a whimsical and somewhat clumsy name—The Steel Step (Le Pas d’Acier)—definitely stands out. The ballet took two years, from 1925 to 1927, to compose. It had a stunning success in Paris and London, where it remained in the repertoire up until D…
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony
For almost a century, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony has been printed in Russia with equirhythmic translations—more than ten different editions including scores, choral parts, and arrangements with or without vocal lines. At the same time, the only publication that provides the name of the translator on its title page is the full score published in 1953. It bears the name of the poet Sergey Gorodetsky. The study of Russian publications issued from 18…
At the crossroads of traditions
The article discusses the key role of Austria and Russia in the creative development of the Spanish composer Vicente Martín y Soler, who was engaged in the transformation of the opera buffa as a genre. The study applies comparative historical and social contextual analysis, which allows to reveal certain similarities in distribution and popularization of Martín y Soler’s music, its penetration into everyday musical culture of Vienna and St. Peter…
Musical Contributions to Belarusian Orthodoxy
This review considers a work by L. A. Gustova-Runtso, a Belarusian scholar, devoted to the history of Orthodox singing culture in the historical lands of Belarus. The study traces the main stages in the formation of this culture, identifying the principal spiritual and cultural centres of singing which influenced its formation. The author describes periods of “survival” during historically and religiously difficult periods when Orthodoxy was unde…
