Signs of the Style of Early Romances by N. S. Golovanov

Abstract

Abstract. The article is devoted to the early romances of N. S. Golovanov, a great Russian and Soviet conductor and composer, who, due to circumstances, is not familiar to the general public. The work explores a wide range of stylistic features of the composer’s music and the infl uence of the contemporary composers’ styles, often very contradictory, on his work. Golovanov’s legacy is explored within the framework of the synthesis of the Russian classical tradition and modernist movements of the early 20th century. The principles of choosing a poetic basis and the genre sphere of their implementation are studied.
