«МОЛОДЕЖНЫЙ КОНЦЕРТ» ДЛЯ ФОРТЕПИАНО С ОРКЕСТРОМ ЛЮ ШИКУНЯ И ГРУППЫ КОМПОЗИТОРОВ: ПРЕТВОРЕНИЕ ЖАНРОВЫХ ТРАДИЦИЙ

Abstract

The article is devoted to the “Youth Concerto”, one of the first examples of the genre in Chinese musical art, created by a group of Chinese composers: Huang Xiaofei, Pan Yiming and Song Yiling, led by composer and pianist, winner of the second prize of the First International Tchaikovsky Competition Liu Shikun. The Concerto complements a number of works for young people, initiated by the USSR, where D. B. Kabalevsky’s triad of instrumental concerts appeared at the turn of the 1940–50s. “Youth Concerto” is analysed from the perspective of the specifics of the implementation of the immanent features of the genre — game logic, virtuosity, competitiveness, concertation and improvisation. The musical text of the composition is also considered in terms of its content and formative features. There is a leveling of contrasts in it, both in thematic and ladotonal aspects. It is noted that the composers strive in the Concerto not so much to compare the parts of the soloist and orchestra, as to smooth out the contrasts between them, achieving parity in this regard. Stylistically, the Concerto belongs to the Classical-Romantic direction. It is emphasized that the influence of the Russian school of composition and, in particular, of P. I. Tchaikovsky is noticeable, which is especially evident in the second movement and the finale of the Concerto.
