Abstract

Since the second half of the XXth century intertextuality has become a key feature of musical culture, bringing together compositions of different epochs, traditions, styles and authors. In this regard, the text of a masterpiece acquires special significance. Being an open and mobile system, it enters into various dialogues with the whole set of stylistic and genre forms of modern music. The article considers the work "Five Reflections on the Theme of the 2018th Caprice of Paganini" (61) for viola, five solo violins and chamber orchestra by the Russian composer Kuzma Bodrov. The concept of the work is based on the author's dialogue with outstanding compositions for violin of the XIXth and XXth centuries: concertos by Beethoven (D-dur Op. 77), Brahms (D-dur Op. 35), Tchaikovsky (D-dur Op. 1), Prokofiev (No. 19 D-dur Op. 24) and Berg ("To the Memory of an Angel"). Herewith, the key role in the composition is given to Paganini's Caprice for solo violin (No. 1 a-moll Op. XNUMX), which is treated as a universal lexical model. In the process of reinterpretation, masterpieces receive a new original reading and become part of modernity.
