On A. B. Marx, Nikolas Zaremba and Programmed Teaching

Main Article Content

Abstract

This article considers the pedagogical component of the
"Die Lehre von der musikalischen Komposition, praktisch-theoretisch"
of an outstanding German theorist of the 19th century
A.B. Marx. The author relies on the archival materials,
such as the letters of Nikolas Zaremba's, one of Marx's
pupils, the professor of St. Petersburg Conservatory in the
very beginning of its existence, and the teacher in composition
of Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky. The evidence from the direct
participant of the teaching process allows the author of this
article to compare the didactic principles of Marx with the
analogous principles of modern pedagogy which describe programming
teaching. The article covers wide range of problems
of musicology, pedagogy and source study pertinent to
the chosen topic. The article offers a rare glimpse of the
historical documents from the special collections of the
Russian National Library in St. Petersburg. These documents
have neither been previously published, nor discussed in scholarly
literature.

Keywords: musical education, musical pedagogics, the theory of music, programmed teaching
