Musical Culture of the Russian Far East: Priority Aspects of Research
The purpose of the article is to study and systematise the priority aspects of regional studies in the scientific research of the musical culture of the Russian Far East: the folklore of the indigenous people and settlers, the existence of a musical culture of the European type and composer creativity. Conclusions are drawn about the decisive role of the regional cultural space as a factor in the development of these phenomena and scientific knowledge about them. The folklore of the region has found a peculiar refraction in the trend of composer folklorism. The elaboration of this and similar socio-cultural interrelations allows us to speak about the systemic nature of these three aspects. The differentiation and deepening of musicological problems from its origins to the present are emphasised. The analysis of the proposed aspects determined the scientific novelty of the article, made possible the practical application of its materials in the further development of regional and Russian musicology, in courses on the history of modern Russian music, and the history of musicology.
