Abstract

The article describes the activities of the recently formed
Dissertation Board at the Saratov State L.V. Sobinov
Conservatory. Its most discernible trait is its active work (during
the seven and a half years of its existence over a hundred
dissertations for the degrees of Doctor of Arts and Candidate of
Arts have been defended). One of its most vivid qualities is the
interested professional position of the opponents and members
of the Dissertation Board directed at a creative type of academic
discussion. Noteworthy is the breadth of geographic location
of the candidates (from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the Ural
Mountains) and the panorama of their academic interests. Most
indicative is the inclusion into the process of scholarly activities
of musical performers – pianists, vocaliksts, bayan performers,
choral conductors, performers on string and woodwind
instruments. These young (and frequently very experienced)
scholars broaden the circle of researched subjects with their
participation, turning to various issues of the art of music.
