Music of modern composers in the studies of young musicologists. Experience of Novosibirsk Conservatory students
Abstract
The relevance of the article is due to the understanding of the importance of prompt musicological response to the creative experiences of modern composers, especially those of their region, which allows recording moments of current musical life and laying the foundations for research into certain composer styles, artistic trends, and analysis of individual works, taking into account the opinions of the masters themselves, critics, and journalists. However, a considerable number of problems hinder the appeal to modern music: a negative attitude toward experimental practices on the part of many participants in the cultural community, the inertia of the “classics” in the system of music education, mistrust of the names of littleknown composers and their «unhistoricity», the inaccessibility of sheet music and audio recordings, difficulties in establishing contacts with authors, a small amount of information, and the lack of skills in working with examples of modern art that require comprehension of individual concepts and artistic solutions. The history of the development of topics related to the study of contemporaries’ music is traced using the example of diploma theses by musicology students of the Novosibirsk Conservatory. It turns out that for along time, the works of Russian composers, including Siberian ones, have been in the field of research interest. It is concluded that receptivity and openness to multiple experiments taking place in the latest music, the desire to respond to the creative searches of modern authors corresponds to the metamodernist attitudes (oscillation, hyper-reflection, self-sufficiency of all cultural units and the multiplicity of their interpretations).
