Main Article Content
Abstract
The article analyzes the reflection of the musicological scholarly paradigm on Russian musical education. It brings in the concept of “musical picture of the world” (MPW) as a projection of the artistic picture of the world. Being endowed with several levels, the MPW is examined here as the history of musical culture created in Russian tutorial editions.
The main section of the article is devoted to research of the “Soviet” MPW and its present-day transformations. Indications are given of the chief characteristics of this present MPW, which was constructed already in the 1920s and consolidated itself in textbooks already in the 1940s. Record is made of the historical “durability” of the model all the way up to the beginning of the 21st century as the result of objective economical and subjective psychological reasons.
The present-day MPW in Russia is perceived as a phenomenon existing at a formative and disordered stage, which contains the simultaneous presence of both the stable elements of the “Soviet” MPW and the trends of Western scholarship. The situation is demonstrated on the example of interpretation of the personality and the musical oeuvres of one of the most influential musical figures in Russia of the late 19th century and the first third of the 20th century – Alexander Glazunov.
Keywords: Russian musical education, textbooks on music history, conservatory, Alexander Glazunov, musical picture of the world
