Abstract

The article is devoted to some questions of the study of the ballad genre. The main task is to indicate the parameters of the genre canon and to show the peculiarities of its realization in the first Russian instrumental ballad, the author of which was Ivan Fedorovich Laskovsky. The typological properties of instrumental (piano) ballads of both Western European and Russian origin are generalized in connection with the genre canon. I.F. Laskovsky՚s work is analyzed from the point of view of compliance with the parameters of the ballad genre canon at the level of content (subject matter, types of characters, poetics), drama, intra-genre structure, form, and means of musical expression. At the same time in the interpretation of the genre and the stylistics of the work some proper national features are distinguished, such as the dominating role of the epic element in the triad of
epos-liric-drama, the reliance upon the intonation-genre structures typical of Russian music. The author emphasizes the principles of dramaturgy and phrasing new for the Russian instrumental music which proved to be perspective from the point of view of the development of the Russian musical art in the 19th century.


Keywords: ballad, ballad genre canon, vocal ballad, instrumental ballad, Ivan Laskovsky, dramaturgy, form.
