«Children’s» M.P. Mussorgsky in accompanist class
Abstract
«Children’s» M. P. Mussorgsky is one of the peaks of the work of the great Russian composer. This ingenious work is currently admired by the artist, who managed to reveal the child’s world so subtly, vividly and capaciously by musical and poetic means. As a fairly frequently performed composition, «Children’s» is the richest material in both musical and figurative and artistic significance for the professional development and education of students in the concertmaster class. The author of this article is attracted by the phenomenon of musical expression of the children’s world in the vocal cycle. Attention is paid in detail to the study of poetic text and a fine palette of colors of piano texture. On the example of a number of songs «Children’s», the artistic and technical tasks facing the pianist in the process of work are considered. Methodical comments can be useful for students of the accompanist class of music colleges and universities.
