Abstract

The bright creative figure of modern Ryazan composer
Victor Platonov remains for the second decade the signature
of the musical culture of the city and fills its intellectual
lacuna. In the recent years his name becoming more and more
known outside city as well: his compositions sound in Russia
in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, in Lithuania, Spain, Ukraine, and
Germany. There is a notable increase in researcher's interest
to his work. Victor Platonov is a member of the Composers
Union of Russia, a brilliant pianist, the winner of the
International competitions, a perfect accompanist, actively cooperating
with choral collectives of Ryazan, an excellent teacher,
and, in addition, a talented painter. Platonov's credo-«to be
oneself» in knowledge and reflection of the deep philosophical
sides of life — remains the main line of his musical creativity.
Each work of his, from a small romance or piano
miniature up to monumental «Requiem» for female chorus,
soloists and a chamber orchestra, is unique and has deep psychological
implied sense.

Keywords: musicology, composers of Russia, piano music, piano genres
