{"title":"Mastery of Articulation in the Piano Performance","authors":"Nargiz Kengerli-Najafova","doi":"10.31866/2616-7581.3.2.2020.219166","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31866/2616-7581.3.2.2020.219166","url":null,"abstract":"Based on the scientific research devoted to the problem of articulation in the piano performing art, the article summarizes its main provisions. The author identifies two interrelated aspects of achieving performance articulation. The different functionality of these aspects allows us to present musical articulation in two types: as an author’s (or editor’s) one and as a performer’s one. The author's articulation is the primary basis, objective and unchangeable reality, the idea encoded in the musical text by the composer, and the performer’s articulation is a derivative, subjective art infinitely cognoscible and recreated by the performer. The purpose of the article is to study the problem of articulation in the performing activities of the modern pianists of Azerbaijan. Research Methodology. The articulation research process has been carried out through methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization based on listening to performers’ recordings of piano works of various styles and forms. The scientific novelty is that for the first time, the concept of articulation is formulated as an objective reality of a musical text and as a subjective recreation in the music interpretation process, that is, as an author’s, editor’s and performer’s one according to the historical and scientifictheoretical analysis of this problem. For the first time, the analogy is drawn between the speech punctuation marks against the musical punctuation signs making by a pianist during a performance. The punctuation signs such as musical ones: dot, ellipsis, comma, exclamation and question are introduced. Conclusions. The leading role of the author’s (editor’s) and performer’s articulation in the music interpretation process, as well as the musical punctuation tools, which significantly influence and determine the mastership in achieving the dramatic integrity of the work, are specified. The special creative role of the musician in creating a performing articulation based on a deep knowledge of the author’s or editor's articulation given in the musical text (legato, legatissimo, non-legato, staccato, marcato, tenuto, accent) is emphasized. It has been proved that the performing articulation mastership is directly and consistently dependent on the study and analysis of the musical text, the deeper and wider the knowledge of the performer, the more options for creative readings and interpretations are created by the performer.","PeriodicalId":33441,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kiyivs''kogo natsional''nogo universitetu kul''turi i mistetstv Seriia Muzichne mistetstvo","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46146980","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}

It is emphasized that choirs are a form of revealing the creative potential of participants, act as a means of uniting people of different professions and ages by common interests, open opportunities to join the folk song heritage and participate in concert activities. The purpose of this research is to highlight the specifics and main trends in the development of amateur choral art in the second half of the 20th – early 21st centuries in the context of Ukrainian musical culture. This involves addressing the typology of groups represented in the domestic space, highlighting the key aspects of their concert and performing activities and identifying certain patterns of functioning in large and small cities and villages. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the determination of two socio-historical waves of influence on the development of Ukrainian folk choral art in the second half of the twentieth century, as well as the features of the folk choral groups functioning in large and small cities and in the countryside in Soviet times and in independent Ukraine.

The development of Ukrainian amateur choral art in the second half of the twentieth century was greatly influenced by two socio-historical waves. The first falls on the postwar period (1950-1960’s) when a huge number of vocal and choral groups were created at village clubs, city and factory houses of culture. The second (the 1990s) is related to Ukraine’s independence and the formation of completely new principles of the cultural and artistic life of civil liberties, the opportunity to participate in various festivals and competitions in Ukraine and abroad, and, as a result, rethinking the essence of amateur folk song, which is the basis of the repertoire of amateur choirs.","PeriodicalId":33441,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kiyivs''kogo natsional''nogo universitetu kul''turi i mistetstv Seriia Muzichne mistetstvo","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69791299","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}

Bandura and Bandurists” from the standpoint of musical source studies. The author of the article examines the structure and directions of thematic searches of U. Samchuk’s work, which were initiated by studying the phenomenon of the most famous Ukrainian diaspora collective – the Taras Shevchenko Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus. The article points out still applicable philosophical and aesthetic spheres of the book, due to understanding of kobza-bandura as a striking symbol of Ukrainian culture, and kobzar art – as its traditional phenomenon. The purpose of this research is to analyze the literary and scientific research of Ulas Samchuk “Living Strings” from the point of view of modern musical source studies. At the same time, the solution of the following tasks seems to be relevant: to determine the structure and directions of thematic searches and studies carried out by the writer in the work; to perform a chronological classification of the material; to outline the philosophical-aesthetic sphere of the book; to find out the significance of Ulas Samchuk’s work in comparison with other sources on research of bandura art of Ukraine and diaspora.

Speaking of music, it is customary to draw more or less justified analogies with the facts of everyday life, the phenomena of science or related art forms, such analogies can in some cases lead to errors, and in others to discoveries. Metaphorical images (including spatial ones) are discussed in statements about music. Cases of borrowing the terminology of nature and art sciences in musical-theoretical studies are analyzed. It is shown that the terms borrowed by musicology from the natural sciences and the humanities have different semantic depths. The research methodology of a comparative study of music and other forms of art, in particular, painting and theatre, methods of observation, comparison, theoretical generalization are used. Scientific novelty of the research . The staffage function of elements of contrast-composite backgrounds in the orchestra style of N. Rimsky-Korsakov is revealed. The genesis and meaning of the musicological term “misanphony”, formed by analogy with the term “mise en scene”, used in theatre and directing, is explained. Examples of the misanphonic and pseudomisanphonic techniques and effects used in the musical works of different eras’ composers are given (examples from the music of J. Puccini, L. Nono, G. Kancheli and others). The examples of musicology literature show and explain the fundamental difference between the terms “misanphony” and “stereophonic sound”. The conclusions relate to the understanding of misanphony as the localization and mutual displacement of sound sources at each particular moment of the musical work performance, the statement of the importance of spatial representations for listening comprehension and professional analysis of music. The statement of E.

Analyzing the results of the evaluation, we can say that the sound of the orchestras in the examined halls is significantly different. Each concert hall has its own individual and unique acoustics. Therefore, this should be taken into account when choosing a repertoire of concert groups and planning concerts.
