The Characters and Acting Figures of the Piano Pieces for Children by Sophia Gubaidulina

Main Article Content

Irina R. Basharova

Abstract

This article offers an interpretation of Gubaidulina's piano
music for children in the context of theories of musical text
in general and the method of semantic analysis, suggested by
Ljudmila N. Shaimukhametova, in particular. The author studies
semantic figures, instrumental clichés and different types
of linear-melodic unfolding that form intonational lexicon of
the piano pieces. The extra-musical representations are viewed
as the product of subject-matter and image aspects of such
a lexicon. The author analyzes the interaction of the elements
of musical content by placing it in the context of artistic gestures,
such as hyperbola, detalization, combinatoriality, and the
comparison of the incomparable, all fitting into the logic of
play. Such analysis of the images of characters and acting
figures in the Piano pieces allows unveiling the microcosm of
her music for children.

Keywords: piano music, music for children, musical semantics, musical text, intonation lexicon
