The concept of “performing school” in modern research on musical art
Abstract
The paper addresses the concept of performing school, from the first mention of the term to its development and consolidation in Russian musicology. One cannot call this topic well-developed since, like many other musical concepts used in everyday life, the definition of “performing school” is taken as a matter of course. However, theoretical justification and historical perspective issues regarding the term have not previously been the subject of separate scientific interest. There is no special study considering the performing school as a particular musical phenomenon. It is the first time this attempt has been made, which determines the scientific novelty and relevance of the work. The observations and conclusions provided in the article are based on the analysis of scientific and educational literature through identifying regularities in construing various interpretations of this concept, their systematization and generalization with reference to different performing schools: piano, stringed plucked, vocal, string, composer and wind schools. The research methodology is based on comprehensive analytical study. A cultural and historical method as well as a structural method are applied.
