Abstract

The article considers several works by Dr. Mark Aranovsky in terms of his use of an informational approach to researching the phenomenon of a musical statement. In the context of his view on the music as a way of communication, the differentiation between syntactic and semantic aspects of information has been highlighted, as well as such Aranovsky’s terms as musical language and musical thinking have been considered. In addition, the author has analyzed various Aranovsky’s approaches to the definitions of information in general and musical information in particular. Special attention has been paid to the problem of “informational evolvement” of the melody; particularly, both resemblance and differences between Aranovsky’s informational approach and the classical information theory have been analyzed.

Keywords: Mark Aranovsky, information in music, informational approach
