«Нотные тетради» Леопольда Моцарта («Die Notenbücher der Geschwister Mozart») как образец инструктивных сочинений

Abstract

One of the interesting realms of contemporary musicology is the issue of study and evaluation of the historical musical text of the early classical period, remote from us in terms of time. No less significant is the comprehension of its didactic potential, as well as the adaptation of scholarly results of research and their application in pedagogical practice. More relevant is the study of the techniques of interaction on the part of the performer with this musical text. The article acquaints the readers with the unique album for clavier, absent in Russian performing and instructive practice — “Die Notenbücher der Geschwister Mozart” in its original version. Its study presents the possibility to immerse into the specificity of the artistic content and pedagogical “secrets” of one of the opuses of the instructive direction reflecting the specificity of 18th century instrumental music-making. Analytical immersion into the musical text of the “Notebooks” (such is the version of the translation of the title of the analogous albums of J.S. Bach, according to Russian publishers) as a historical document of the epoch is aided by turning to its “intonational-lexical vocabulary” stipulated by culturological context. The album discloses the practical secrets of adaptation of the musical score form of notation in its transcription into two-lined form and demonstrated signs of the reduction of the musical text in correspondence with the peculiarities of keyboard instruments. For a present-day beginning performer, the creative potential of the pieces in the collection consists in the possibility of reverse unfolding of two-line keyboard music into an ensemble score the means of which have been fixated into the musical text.
