Abstract
In the USSR, textbooks on music literature as an obligatory part of the educational process in children’s music schools and colleges appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Initially, they were associated with ideological and educational functions: the creation of the young musicians of the Soviet musical picture of the world already fixed in university textbooks with an invariable set of names, compositions and their verbal characteristics. All this formed the Soviet canon of the composer, which was contemporary and compatriot.
Being unique and distributed in huge circulations, the school textbook “Sovetskaya muzykal’naya literature” [“Soviet Musical Literature”] by Irina Prokhorova and Henrietta Skudina (ed. Tatiana Popova) created for the beginning musicians the image of the “Soviet composer” – Sergei Prokofiev. The next level – the textbook for the college (editor-in-chief Mikhail Pekelis, then Margarita Rittikh) – grounded in young professionals an ideologically correct canon of the composer with a stable repertoire and clear position: how to listen and play his music.
The change in ideology in Russia after 1991 influenced the “musical word,” but the transformation of the composer’s image practically did not happen – neither in the updated school textbook, nor in the new for Music College (ed. Elena Durandina). With the increase in the number of analyzed works, the verbal image of Prokofiev remained within the framework of the Soviet musical canon where the connection with The Mighty Handful was announced and continuity with representatives of the Viennese classical school.
Keywords: Sergei Prokofiev, textbooks, Soviet music literature, music schools, music colleges.
