The diverse spectrum of musical expression of these works allows evaluating authors’ philosophical and imagery concepts that are realized in modern double bass as a rightful participant of ensemble and solo music. The main provisions of double bass functioning in the chamber ensemble are outlined.

Polyakova, born 1958 in Damascus, Syria). From the first half of the 1960s to the 1980s, V.Cherkashin organized a number of art events in Kharkiv, using elements of Soviet and Western mass culture. Cherkashin’s artworks blur the boundaries between traditional genres and styles in the visual arts. While experimenting with the art form, Cherkashins in addition to the language of art action have been using the language of photography, of cinema, painting, graphics and video. Artists continue to create art in different media. Currently, Cherkashin’s artworks are in the collections of the leading museums and corporate collections around the world. The aim of the research is to reveal the ontological, methodological and axiological bases of Cherkashin’s artistic creativity. During the analysis the playing preconditions in Cherkashins’ creativity. Feelings of tension and joy, as well as sense of otherness are inherent in all the artistic work of the Cherkashins. V.Cherkashin creates a new conceptual meaning—the image of the “other” in the early photographic series of 1965–1966 and the image of a social outcast who is between two worlds in 1972. During Cherkashin’s play, the seriousness is eliminated, it becomes funny. The funny side of Cherkashins’ artworks is rooted in harmless nonsense. Artists turn ideological and verbal codes and images into “funny nothing”. Joyful life-affirming laughter in the Cherkashins’ works is the second “actor,” along with the ‘new plasticity.’ Biographical, conceptual, descriptive-phenomenological methods of analysis, comparative studies and hermeneutics were used during the research.","PeriodicalId":440942,"journal":{"name":"Artistic Culture Topical Issues","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115730747","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}

However, until now, some of these sources are accepted uncritically; thus, there is a need to investigate the principles guiding the theatre reporters and to define—for each period, figure, and theatre studio—their objectivity ratio, and hence, their efficiency. Such historical sources include Isaac Turkeltaub’slegacy of theatre criticism, who was one of the most prolific theatre critics in Kharkiv in the mid-1920s, or as it is said today, an influencer.

It focuses on the root sources of opera related to the system of musical and theatrical genres. With the emergence of opera at the turn of the seventeenth century, its poetics was formed simultaneously in two versions: in the verbal texts and explanations and in the system of linguistic and expressive means of the works. The idea of the conditional existence of three different stories of opera is suggested. Each system is built depending on which components are the main focus when considering the historical material. There is opera as a “chanted drama”, opera as a genre of vocal-instrumental music, and finally, opera as one of the independent types of theatrical art. The three main elements of opera poetics and the functions of each of them are revealed on the example of the analysis of the sixth work in the history of the genre and the first truly classical example, the opera L’Orfeo byClaudio Monteverdi. If the opera characteristic vocal language and sung dialogues became a purely operatic innovation, two other elements of opera poetics used in this opera were actively developed throughout history: instrumental music, as well as choral and ensemble scenes. Thus, opera poetics is associated with constant flexible interaction of the laws of dramatic, musical, and theatrical arts.","PeriodicalId":440942,"journal":{"name":"Artistic Culture Topical Issues","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127114320","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}

Böcklin’s painting Returning Home (1887). Nostalgia isstudied as a cultural factor in the creation of the musical work by S. Rachmaninoff in the context of impressions from A. Böcklin’s painting. The fact that awork by S. Rachmaninoff based on the B. Moiseiwitsch’s memoirs about one of his meetings with S. Rachmaninoff was discovered and introduced in musicology. This constitutes the academic and theoretical novelty of the paper. Therefore, academic inquiry is interdisciplinary, overlapping with cultural studies. The understanding of a correlation between fine and musical arts and historical period, which allows to explain certain phenomena in culture, was expanded. The notions of nostalgia, mirror metaphor, artist biography, and romantic wanderings were substantiated. The aim of the work is to consider nostalgia as a cultural factor in the creation of S. Rachmaninoff ’s Prelude No. 10 in B minor. The subject matter of research is the S. Rachmaninoff ’s nostalgia that was projected on the writing of this musical work. Comparative approach revealed common and distinct features in the content, imagery, and mood of A. Böcklin’s painting and S. Rachmaninoff ’s prelude. In addition, the issues of romantic wanderings were considered, revealing the approaches to romantic interpretation of the eternal mythologeme of the journey: travel as a path to knowledge, wanderings as a curse, exile or travel as an approach to new artistic horizons. This musical piece is closely linked to religious and philosophical ideas of life, death and immortality, of sin, redemption and forgiveness, and to the prevailing idea of transfiguration.","PeriodicalId":440942,"journal":{"name":"Artistic Culture Topical Issues","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134439071","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}
