Concerning the Issue of Studying the Systemic Traits of the Category of Space in Music

Main Article Content
Abstract
The category of space presents a most complex philosophical universal, which has been researched by physicians,
philosophers, aestheticians, linguists and literary critics. The incorporation of a systemic approach by the author
of the article stipulated a conscious rejection of viewing spatial subsystems in their customary sequence – the real,
perceptual and conceptual spaces, since this type of sequence, in his opinion, contradicts the actual existence and
functioning of this category in music. Thus, real space is disclosed through the musical poetics of construction of
the various concert halls of the world in correlation with the unique compositions of contemporary music by Pierre
Boulez, Milton Babbitt, Elliott Carter and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Analogies presented between architectural and
musical structures have made it possible to assume the existence of an interconnection between the forms of works
of art with paradigms of social consciousness and simultaneity of existence of the real and conceptual spaces in
music. The acoustic and perceptual spaces exist in a direct connection with real space. In the second half of the 20th
century acousticians have established a tight interconnection between objective physical and acoustic parameters
of the interiors of concert halls and subjective criteria of perception. Thereby the functioning of acoustic space is
stipulated by the non-additive principle of interconnection with perceptual space, when indicators of one dynamic
system may influence a similarly complex, open and dynamic system and upon departure from it may considerably
change and improve its parameters. For this reason, the search for new strategies of research of the category of space
in music may disclose numerous other regular laws imminent for subsystems and establish a specificity of their
interconnection with each other.
Keywords: the category of space in music, the real, the perceptual, and the conceptual spaces, music and
architecture, concert halls of the world.
