Abstract
The history of formation of musical scholarship in Russian educational institutions of the 1920s and 1930s is examined by the author in the perspective of its integration with other spheres of scholarship. For musicology in the first third of the 20th century the determining tendency was formed by the expansion of the spectrum of interdisciplinary research: a rapprochement with natural sciences (physics, acoustics) and with the field of knowledge about the human being (physiology, psychology). The academic traditions of the State Institute for Musical Scholarship, which was established in Moscow in 1921, were continued in the country’s conservatories. Integrative directions, which lay the foundation for interdisciplinary approaches to the issues of musicology, received intensive development.
The top-priority position of this direction is confirmed in the article during the process of analysis of the results of the work of the Musical Institute for Scholarly Research affiliated with the Moscow Conservatory and its mentee institution, the Sverdlovsk Conservatory (founded in 1934). In the new musical institution in the Ural Mountains region the formation of scholarly-methodical work was carried out in correspondence with the governmental decrees of the Soviet period. This is testified by the archival materials of the Ural State M.P. Mussorgsky Conservatory and the State Archive of the Sverdlovsk Region, which are brought into scholarly use for the first time by the author. The studied materials broaden the perceptions of the formation of Soviet musical scholarship in educational institutions and of the achievements of regional musical scholarship of the indicated time period.
