Abstract

Nicolas Roslavets is the 20th-century composer whose musical
oeuvre has not been yet thoroughly studied. Its most interesting aspect is
the specificity of pitch organization. The experiments of the composer in
this area happen to be far ahead of his time. They provide the evidence
of discoveries which, due to the circumstances of his life, remained only
partially realized. The attention of the author is focused on the central
element of Roslavets’ pitch system and the technique of operation with
this element, which had become a precursor for serial organization in
music of western composers of the 20th century.

Keywords: 20th-century compositional technique, pitch organization,
