Abstract
The article examines the musical component in L. Ulitskaya’s novel The Big Green Tent. The first part provides an overview of those musical elements – realities, prototypes of individual characters and pretexts with musical themes, with the help of which an autonomous world and the image of one of the main characters of the work are created. The second part analyzes a fragment of the novel, which mixes musical and literary principles of text organization and creates a multidimensional connection with S. Rakhmaninoff's Symphonic Dances. The analysis shows that the musical component in Ulitskaya's novel performs a double function – constructing one of the plot lines and musicalizing certain fragments of the text.

Рассмотренный фрагмент романа Улицкой представляется уникальным, потому что в нем, как было показано, все три категории приемов воспроизведения музыки – описание, имитация и структурирование текста – присутствуют в сложной взаимосвязи21
Summary
Они служат как бы иллюстрацией для одной из основных тем романа – взаимоотношения творческой интеллигенции и власти, которая задается символически и в макроструктуре произведения – в смерти Сталина в самом начале сюжета и Бродского в самом конце. Эта мысль героя очень близка поэтике самого романа, в который включены, кроме музыки, и другие виды искусства, и наука, и мелочи быта.
