"Research attention in the article is directed to the initial stage of the formation of the American piano concerto, which is represented by two works of Edward MacDowell. Written during the young composer’s stay in Germany, they are firmly based on the traditions of European music and demonstrate mastery of genre models that had formed in the works by Mendelssohn, Schumann, Liszt, Grieg, Saint-Saëns, as well as MacDowell’s teacher – Joachim Raff. The article analyzes the compositional and thematic organization of Piano Concerto No. 2, traces the figurative and stylistic origins of this music, as well as highlights the ratio of instrumental parts and methods of soloing. It was concluded that, in contrast to the First Concerto, where a generalized virtual model of a romantic concerto acts as a reference point for the composer, in the Second one, there is a tangible desire for an individualized reproduction of the interesting findings of the predecessors and advancement along the path of searching for one’s own approach to the embodiment of the genre. Keywords: musical culture of the USA, Edward MacDowell’s creativity, genre models, instrumental concert, European traditions. "

"The essence of this research is to understand the professional and creative specifics of the emotional thinking of a musician-performer. The idea arose from the experience of performing activities, teaching and scientific research in the context of the traditions of performing arts and the theoretical opinion of experts in the field of musicology. The main task consists in substantiating the methodological and theoretical principles, methods of approach to determining the functional features of the emotional tone of a musician-performer as a tool for the formation of professional thinking of a creative personality. In such formulation of the question, it is necessary to proceed from the fact that the problem of human thinking is generally constantly active, meaning that it is in a procedural state as both, an individual person and his/her natural environment, assimilate and generate new emotions (feelings), and, therefore, directly carry out influence on the flow of mental processes. The processuality of this dual dynamic psychological modification is endless, and the disclosure of regularities here also has a timely processual and continuously renewed character. Keywords: feelings, emotions, performance tone, intuition, thinking of a musician-performer."

"The article is devoted to a variant method of composing music, which became widespread in the composing practice of the twentieth century and has genetic links with the work of Franz Liszt. The variant method is presented as the basis of the composer’s artistic system, as a property of musical logic and form formation. During the functional and structural analysis of the songs of F. Liszt, their typological similarity is revealed, and a classification based on the variant principle of thematic development is proposed. The characteristic of variant-strophic (“An Edlitam” (S. 333; LW. 74)) and variant-phase (“Gebet” (S. 331; LW. №72)) forms is given. The relationship between monothematism and the variant method of composition is revealed. As a result, the genetic connection between the vocal miniature of F. Liszt and the musical art of the 20th century is substantiated. The variant method is presented as a system-forming method at all levels of musical and poetic composition (motif-composition-image-drama-way of thinking). Keywords: variant method, variant form, vocal creativity, composition, the principle of thematic development."

"Outstanding representative of the classical music composed in the transition period from XVIIIth to XIXth centuries, Ludwig van Beethoven remains memorable in the history of music through the strength, audacity, and remarkable rhetoric of his musical discourse. With the mastery of a demiurge, he coalesces in the texture of his thematic ideas’ heroic, pathetic or pastoral configurations, making the most of the technical-expressive possibilities of the epoch’s instruments into a authentic instrumental-interpretative manner. Advocate of a prevailingly monumental interpretation, Beethoven will perfect his instrumental style through authentic details which are the subject of the varied attack modes, of ornamentation, articulation, pedaling, etc., which are the personalized elements of a challenging technique. Approaching the aspect of Beethoven’s ornamentation, the present article will bring into focus the identification of the dominant ornamental components and their treatment from an interpretative viewpoint with emphasis on the authenticity of the artistic representation.

"We often wonder about piano music. And we're not just wondering because it fascinates us, but because it forces us to ask questions about life and the hidden senses of the sounds. For several times the music fills our lives. But how does it fill it? Many times a poem written by William Sharp or by Michael Shewmaker is a question for me as a philosopher. Furthermore, a composed song for piano by Havasi Balázs, makes us think a lot about a poem, or about anything which fascinates our mind. But despite the mind, there are many perceptions which work together to have a right judgement on the perception of the music. If we want to find how the music fulfills our lives with significances, we have to bring a phenomenological method in understanding these meanings. The phenomenology has an unique answer, because it finds out to answer to how the things (these phenomenological objects) are becoming. In this article we will show how the compositions of Havasi Balázs are up to date through the aesthetic sphere of the phenomenology and how they are entities in the phenomenological field of perception nowadays. For these reasons, it seemed essential to us to offer a phenomenological perspective to the symphonies realised by Havasi Balázs. Keywords: Havasi Balázs, piano, contemporary classic music, phenomenology of sound, perception, conscience."

"This article examines the phenomenon of interculturality through the lens of the Liang Zhu Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang. Interculturality is no longer merely a means of elevating the axiological value of a given context but has become a necessity for authenticating contemporary discourse. The role of interculturality in shaping the expression of creative intentions is amplified, as it attenuates divergences determined by the incongruity of individuals’ backgrounds by comprehensively observing the uniqueness of foreign elements from a familiarity-based perspective. The Liang Zhu Violin Concerto exemplifies the adaptation of East Asian culture to the context of the Western language and means of expression while preserving its Chinese cultural identity. This concerto has significant value and desirability for consumption due to the proportion of originality and familiarity which it upholds and determines its overall appeal. Ultimately, this article aims to explore how the Liang Zhu Violin Concerto achieves originality at a global level while preserving its Chinese cultural identity.
