The System of Musical Communication
The article examines the main components of the process of musical communication in its dynamic development in time and space of society. There are three main levels of information communication: the structural (central), microstructural and metastructural, which differ in their connections, position in the integral structure and the specificity of the information flows circulating in each of them. The central (structural) level includes the main channels of information which provide operating of the entire system. This level involves the sphere of author's creation of musical values (individual and collective composer); the sphere of creative musical reproduction of the author's work (individual and collective performer); the sphere of active perception/ consumption (listener); the sphere of artistic and sociocultural evaluation (music critic and to some extent those engaged in the musical process and its management - producers, managers, patrons of the arts, etc.). The structural level ensures operating and further development of the integral process of communication within the musical art. The metastructural level ensures the inclusion of the musical process in a wide range of diverse links with the culture of society as a whole, the social context of art, the activity and creativity of man. Transmission of information is made by major structural units - samples, typological constructs, traditions, and prevailing norms that circulate via hidden, implicit channels through the structures of social consciousness and assimilation of cultural achievements.
