Communicative Nature of the Boris Lyatoshinsky Early Legacy

Abstract

The semantic narrative of Boris Lyatoshinky’s 1910’s works has been analyzed in the article. Resulting from the communicative and information interrelation of musical and extra-musical senses of cultural space, this semantic narrative advances the expansion of the hypertext space of culture. I.e., it reconstructs the view of Lyatoshinky’s live and work as a determinant of development for the whole Ukrainian musical culture of the 20th century. Within this framework, communication and, consequently, communication and information processes form a matrix of sorts that urges us to study a musical text as an aggregate of communicative strategies, adapted to the boundaries set by musical culture and society. In this process it is important to take into account such communication lines as: space-time of the creative activity, physical and symbolic planes within which artist’s innovations are manifested; artist’s environment and environment of the researcher, who engages into interpretation; and, as it was stressed, the communicative space of semantic signs, including ideas, images, concepts, emotions, produced by the author’s creative consciousness and reconstructed by an interpreter, that are concentrated within those signs. Using the categorial approach to define the system of the artist’s musical legacy, we, striving to comprehend the immanence of the author’s concept, enrich the routine theoretical components parts of analysis of the musical text with the new areas of values and senses, with the conceptualized communicative interpretation of the text and of artist’s personality.
