N. Y. Myaskovsky’s orchestral “entertainment”
Myaskovsky’s symphonic work has repeatedly become the subject of scientific research. However, a number of original works remain on the periphery of scientific interests, including orchestral cycles of the suite type. In this article, three orches-tral suites of оp. 32 are considered, which were worked on simultaneously. The result of this work was “clarification” of the composer’s symphonic style, development of new orchestral techniques, establishing of his own principles of music formation and thematic development. The suites demonstrate an organic combina-tion of elements of traditional Russian songwriting with modern harmony, a variety of individual interpretations of forms, a convincing combination of suite characteristics with concert features and consistent symphonic development.
