Spanish music culture is not an exception. There was discovering the uniqueness of flamenco culture through the searching of musical personal identity during the end of the XIX–first decades of the XX century. Original rhythms, modes and harmony specialty were inspiring for composers who searched the code of musical national composers’ school. Federico Garcia Lorca was one of them. His work «Canciones Españolas Antiguas» became not only restrained documentation of folkloric finds. His scientific interest was realized there with his own well-known authored style what provoked us to have some doubts about song’s origin. Was that songs stylization or authentic?

The «oriental» intonation nature of melodies saturated with melismas, mostly of a dance nature, is preserved. But the composer does not soften all these characteristic features, trying to bring them to the panEuropean musical standard, on the contrary, he strengthens them by using dissonant harmonies. He brings the rhythmic sophistication of authentic samples to the point of unpredictability thanks to the frequent use of hemiola, accents on weak parts, and syncopation.

The Viennese opera reform in the 18th century, which is closely related to the ideology of the Enlightenment, the activities of Masonic lodges, and the politics of Austrian Chancellor Kaunitz-Rietberg, is still often regarded as a cliché. Not a single domestic study has been devoted to the question of rethinking both the phenomenon of opera reform itself and Gluck's role in it, which determines the article's relevance. In this work, for the first time, the importance of the union of reformers in Vienna for the implementation of the opera reform in the 18th century is emphasized. In overcoming the cliché of \"glucocentrism\", it seems important to look at Gluck as a person, with certain psychological traits (soft skills in modern language) that allowed him to be effective in co-creation with the Viennese reformers and to achieve personal success. All of the above determines the scientific novelty of the work. \u0000The purpose of the article. To trace the history of the so-called Gluck reform and identify the main participants of the case \"Opera reform in the mid-18th century\". To investigate what and how Gluck's soft skills helped him to realize his creative potential in the stormy 18th century - at a time of changing worldview paradigms, and contributed to the formation of his place in the history of music as a \"great opera reformer\". \u0000Methods. To achieve the goal set in the article, a historical (to consider the circumstances of the formation of the request for opera reform and to find out the ways of its solution), cultural (to study the cultural context of the 18th century) and sociological analysis method (to outline Gluck's soft skills) was chosen. \u0000The results and conclusions. From the facts presented in the article, it becomes obvious that the so-called Gluck reform is a successful case of solving the problem of renewing the opera genre, implemented by a team of reformers. The decisive role in this was played by the musical genius and character of Gluck, his character, and the historical context that formed the \"request\" for reform. The composer had soft skills that, according to modern research, help a person work effectively in a team and achieve success. Undoubtedly, Gluck's soft skills discussed in the article were a guarantee of recognition for both the composer himself and the Viennese opera reform. Most of the crucial issues for understanding the phenomenon of opera reform in the 18th century still require further research, including the analysis of reformed operas as integral performances. and determining the role of Masonic lodges in the implementation of music and theater reform in Vienna.","PeriodicalId":143313,"journal":{"name":"Scientific herald of Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129570157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the many artistic definitions aimed at encompassing and understanding the artistic phenomena of the modernist era, the concept of debussism was perceived rather ambiguously and remained incompletely defined during the lifetime of Claude Debussy and after his death. Moreover, it remains so even today, in the 21st century. Therefore, the problem of scientific adaptation of the mentioned concept and its gradual and deep research assimilation seems urgent and one that requires comprehensive attention and a step-by-step solution. \u0000The main objectives of the study are to review available scientific and journalistic sources regarding the ways of formation and features of the development of the phenomenon of debussism as an individual and stylistic phenomenon of the modernist era; trace the biographical and historical circumstances that preceded and accompanied the formation of debussism; and activate the concept of debussism in the interests of further terminological use in the field of domestic musicology. \u0000The research methodology combines historical and comparative methods to trace the moments of emergence and manifestations of debussism's functioning. The method of operationalization of concepts is used in the article to clarify the parameters of the definition of the concept of debussism as well as to formulate its own definition. The system approach ensures the complex interaction of different levels of manifestation of the phenomenon. \u0000Results and conclusions. Based on the study of scientific sources related to the work of Debussy, the author summarizes his analytical observations regarding the specific content of the concept of debussism. The identification of three levels of manifestation (compositional, social, and epochal) aids in understanding debussism's volumetric and multi-vector nature as a complex modernist phenomenon and a revealing marker of contemporary multidimensional culture. When his compositional features were masterfully integrated into the new artistic material of another author, the idea of following Claude Debussy (at all levels) became the real debussism. That is when Claude Debussy's imitation reaches the level of artistic reception. Otherwise, such an imitation is obviously feeble. \u0000The proposed periodization of debussism into lifetime and posthumous stages determines the universal division of the cohort of researchers and composers into those who knew C. Debussy personally (or at least lived with him at the same time) and those who were influenced by him already after the artist's death. Such a division allows us not only to emphasize the importance of practical imitation of compositional and technological techniques but also to confirm as a fundamental fact the impact of Debussy's social relationships on modernist musical culture. Furthermore, such a periodization helps to establish, albeit broadly but objectively confirmed, chronological boundaries for debussism. \u0000Taking into account t","PeriodicalId":143313,"journal":{"name":"Scientific herald of Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127660895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communication processes in the organization of modern cultural projects are becoming increasingly important. In the new economic and sociocultural conditions, various types of communication, in particular in the Italian opera house, are carried out not only in traditional forms, they are undergoing major changes, require new management decisions, significantly transforming its established organizational structure. This issue has been little studied, although, in our opinion, it is important and relevant for characterizing the functioning of the opera house in the social communication system of modern Italy. \u0000The main objectives of the study are to consider the activities of the Teatro San Carlo in the social communication system of the city of Naples.

For a long time, their analysis was carried out exclusively from the technological side (spectral analysis, creation of graphic scores, construction of models, exosemantic method, etc.) which led to the conclusion that for most professionals this sphere is still not so much music as technology. But Alfred Schnittke believed that technological analysis cannot reveal any piece of music, and it is more reasonable to analyze the piece according to its philosophical concept. It is significant that it was the works of Alla Zagaykevych that broke the inertia of the technological approach, forcing us to hear in electronic works their aesthetic component. And this is the result of the conscious position of the author, for whom the artistic task is in the foreground. \u0000The purpose of the article is to reveal the artistic concept of one of the bright works of A. Zagaykevych \"Mithe IV: K.S.\" (2011) for violin, electronic recording and real-time processing. This work was not considered in the musicological studies devoted to A. Zagaykevych. Comparative and historical research methods are used in the article. \u0000The results and conclusions. Bright artifacts or meaningful programs with a changing, deformed picture of the world, with an avant-garde narrative strategy, where there is both a historical discourse and an intellectual dialogue with the listener, are often the primary creative impulse for Alla Zagaykevych. Such, for example, is her \"Heroneia\" (2002), which is based on Milorad Pavic’s book \"The Inner Side of the Wind\". Zagaykevych’s pieces inspired by the works of Oleg Lyshega, Mykhailo Semenko, Andri Chuzhy are a tribute to the memory of the outstanding artists. \"Mithe IV: K.S.\" also fits into this series. \u0000The title unambiguously refers to the famous cycle \"Myths\" by Karol Szymanowski. In the perception of A. Zagaykevych, \"Myths\" is a vivid collective expression of the style of K. Szymanowski. As material for her work, Zagaykevich uses fragments from various poems of Szymanovski's \"Myths\" (a table of borrowings is given in the article), but her \"Mithe IV\" does not break up into these fragments, but is perceived as a single musical whole. The reason is in the common properties of A. Zagaykevich's sensitively selected themes of \"Fountain of Arethusa\" and \"Narcissus\", which clearly reveal the affiliation of Szymanovski’s \"Myths\" to the Art of Secession. \u0000The phonosphere of the central section of Mithe IV comes from another opus of Alla Zagaykevych - \"Transparence\" for violin, real-time processing and electronic recording (2006).

The entrepreneur V. Sermattei, who ran the Odesa city theatre in 1859-1865, gained experience in organizing the foreign engagement of opera companies and organizing their performances without theatre activities additional financing by the municipal authorities. In such conditions, the impresario had to implement various strategies that allowed him to save his capital. Among the most common are: the expenses for the theatre building decoration and renovation “freezing”, the involvement of poorly trained musicians in the theatre orchestra, and the part of the company opera singers with low vocal quality and acting training engagement, which everything together made him impossible to follow the key contract requirements, in particular, the opera repertoire renewal and expansion. Since the biggest part of that time opera companies expenses was on the prima donnas soprano in a dramatic role engagement (for the particularly popular performances of the G. Verdi’s and his contemporaries’ operas), V. Sermattei focused on a less expensive option of involving prima donnas contralto in the company. This approach made it possible to stage of the period of romanticism composers’ works successfully, restore the Rossini’s repertoire, which for a certain time improved the financial affairs in the theatre and slowed down the decline of the company.
