Main Article Content
Abstract
The article is devoted to the issue of style of scholarly texts
by Boris Asaiev – the leading Soviet musicologist, scholar,
journalist and composer. In the 1920s and 1930s, during the
formation in Russia of a new humanitarian discipline, namely
musicology, Asaiev demonstrates himself as one of its founders.
At the same time, the scholar creates an original, individual style
of musicological works. His texts carry a synthetic character and
combine the features of scholarly, artistic and journalistic styles.
The presence of a deinite social position in some of Asaiev’s
articles makes it possible to testify to his participation in the
process of formation of a new Soviet type or artist and recipient.
Keywords: Boris Asaiev, style, scholarly text, musicology,
Soviet musical culture
