Abstract
The musical thematicism of piano compositions of various styles is uncommonly rich and diverse.
Outwardly its features are fixated in the score. However, the performer who is able to discern
the semantic structures in the musical text will always have the opportunity of supple operation
of them and creation of a bright performing plan of a musical composition on the basis of the
revealed signature forms. Deciphered in the context of practical semantics, the semantic
structures of a musical text may be combined into the performer’s scenario and manifested
during the process of interpretation of a concrete composition. The acute reaction on the part
of the performer, the instant restructuring of the playing apparatus and performance regulators
of meaning – tempo, dynamics, articulation, agogics, and, altogether, intonation – all of this is
possible to perfect and actualize with the aid of contemporary methods of work on the musical
text. Characteristics of semantic differentiation and detailization within the authorial text –
narrative programs, the theatralization of piano sound, musical dialogues, solo improvisational
and ensemble musical statements – are fixated in a particular way in signature structures of the
musical text and may be perceived and intoned by the performer.
Keywords: musical text, semantic structures, plot-related situational signs, musical dialogues,
intonational formulas, semantic figures, performance scenario.
