Russian Language as the Basis of Musical Culture of Russia in the Context of Philosophical-aesthetic Discource (thesises)

Abstract

Russian musical culture is closely connected with the national language and literature, and owes much to the work of Russian writers of the XVIII–XIX centuries, and above all to the work of A.S. Pushkin. Composers of the 19th century (M. Glinka, M. Mussorgsky, A. Borodin, M. Balakirev, P. Tchaikovsky) laid the foundations of Russian musical sound. The article examines the question of the determining role of the Russian language in the process of forming the musical culture of Russia, summarizes the approaches of domestic researchers — art historians, representatives of aesthetic thought, to the question of the role of language, Russian song, romance in the formation of Russian musical identity. In the XX century, a special role in the development of the traditions of Russian melodism is played by S. V. Rachmaninov (1873–1943), his later romances, as a reflection of the Silver Age of Russian culture, the drama of the passing era.
