Ornamental Characteristics of the Musical Texture (through the example of pianoforte miniatures by A.K. Lyadov)
The author analyzes the musical texture of pianoforte miniatures written by the Russian composer, A.K. Lyadov: “Prelude” op. 42 no.2 H-dur, “Prelude” op. 27 no. 2 H-dur, “Prelude” op. 11 no.1 h-mol, “Birulki” op.2, piece no.1, aiming at ﬁnding the elements of ornamental compositions. The sympathy in compositional methods of musical texture and ornaments, their graphical similarity once again prove universal features of the language means of the art and synthetism of the composer's artistic thinking. This very type of thinking appeared to be of the most immediate interest by the representatives of the Russian artistic culture in the Silver Age. This work is conducted under the studies of extrapolation of the principle of plastic arts into the music.
