Abstract

The article recreates the portrait of the outstanding Soviet musicologist, Professor Iosif Dubovsky (1892–1969). The author combines his personal reminiscences of his teacher with a characterization of his unique principles of instruction, with reference to his musical compositions and an overview of his

main research works in music theory and textbooks in harmony, polyphony, solfege, Russian and Kazakh folk music. Among the nine “commandments” given by Professor Dubovsky to perspective musicologists, emphasis is placed on those which emphasize the scholarly aspect of their activities, the priority of music over theory and the necessity of a practical mastery of the technique of musical compositions.
