Abstract

The author covers the panorama of development of Chuvash
music, starting from the period of formation of professionalism
to the works of contemporary Chuvash composers. The issue
of new music in regards to the period of the second half of the
20th century in the development of the national musical art is
designated. For the first time characterization is given to the
neonational direction, which appeared in Chuvash music in
the late 1960s and early 1970s and represented by the music of
the avant-garde composers M.A. Alexeyev and A.G. Vasiliev.
The author stresses the differences in aesthetical and stylistic
directions of the composers, the experimental character and
personal interpretation of avant-garde techniques in Alexeyev’s
music and the special poly-stylistic method in Vasiliev’s music.
The conclusion is made of the relevance of the research of the
new music of Chuvashia, which has interpreted in a specific way
the traditions of Russian avant-garde music.
