CATEGORY OF GENRE STYLE IN THE CONCEPTUAL SYSTEM OF MODERN MUSICOLOGY

Abstract

The problem of musical style is interdisciplinary in nature and requires a new approach. Therefore, in this study, an attempt is made to extrapolate the evolutionary-synergetic approach to the analysis of the phenomenon of musical style as an open non-equilibrium non-linear system, which allows detecting specific patterns and trends inherent in its historical development, and developing new theoretical and methodological foundations for further comprehension of the style concept. Such an approach will help, to some extent, eliminate contradictions in understanding style’ essence, and present the history of musical art and musical style as a synergistic process based on the specific interaction of chaos and order.
