НЕОПУБЛИКОВАННЫЕ МАРГИНАЛИИ Б. В. АСАФЬЕВА НА ПОЛЯХ ПАРТИТУРЫ ОПЕРЫ «БОРИС ГОДУНОВ» М. П. МУСОРГСКОГО

Abstract

This article is devoted to the initial stage in the history of studying M. P. Musorgsky's orchestral style. The first researchers who gain access to the composer's autograph of the orchestral score were B. V. Asafyev and P. A. Lamm. The musicians edited the score of the opera "Boris Godunov" for the premiere, which took place at the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre on February 16, 1928, when after a half-century interval, the author's original orchestration was performed. Two short, but fundamentally important articles by B. V. Asafyev, as well as his notes in the margins of the handwritten score, opened a new stage in the scholarly and artistic understanding of Musorgsky's orchestral dramaturgy and orchestral stylistics.
