Философско-семиотический анализ истории музыкальной знаковости: от XVII до XХ века

Abstract

The philosophical analysis of the problem of the musical language as a system of special symbolism from the period of the birth of individual composer creativity to the period of the New Time described in the article. This is the first part of the theoretical interpretation of the history of musical symbolism. The philosophical and aesthetic interpretation of the sign structures of the musical language considered to be presented in the context of the evolutionary and historical development on the basis of the methodology of semiosis analysis. Composer's creativity is based on certain techniques and innovative experiments, sometimes on mathematical calculations or on the improvement of existing techniques. Beginning approximately from the 11th-14th centuries, when individual composer creativity was born, and in the epoch of the 17th-20th centuries, reaching its apogee, European composer music produced the highest examples of opus music. This is an autonomous art that sets laws for itself and does not require meaningful injections from the outside - religion or philosophy, from a household or ritual situation, from the lifestyle or everyday experiences of people. The system of autonomous opus music of the twentieth century represents, on the one hand, the absolutization of the artistic specification of the art of sounds, and on the other, the fragility and vulnerability of creativity, isolation from life concreteness or from symbols included in traditional ceremonies, ceremonies, cult life, which often alienates professional opus music from the mass audience makes it incomprehensible and inaccessible. Since music and its language have a sign-symbolic nature, the process of semiosis is the mechanism by which decoding of musical symbolism is possible. Therefore, we are talking about the philosophy of musical semiosis as a process of understanding musical significance in the context of its evolution from its inception to the present day. Musical semiosis is the process of interpreting and structuring musical signs and symbols, as a result of which the open space of human emotions and sense-values is generated. A semi-musical form of musical thinking arises in terms of symbolic and symbolic meaning-making and is a mental construction, interpretation and understanding of musical signs.
