Summary

Introduction

Art would always be a great mirror that reflects various historical epochs with their unique philosophical ideals, aesthetic and ethical principles, and the twenty-first century is no exception in this sense. A specific feature of contemporary art is the desire to actualize the heritage of past centuries in the conceptual dialogue of cultures remote in time and space – a tendency that belongs to the basic philosophical and aesthetic characteristics of postmodernism as the dominating cultural paradigm of the XXI century. The actualization of cultural heritage occurs in many ways, among which the most well-known and studied are citation, collage and stylization. All these phenomena are the subject of close attention of musicologists and cultural scientists. A striking example of the original use of musical material from previous eras is the compositional work of the Canadian virtuoso pianist Marc-André Hamelin. Having received recognition as an outstanding performer, he created his own recognizable writing style, and his opuses are of undoubted interest for the music community
