Some Aspects of the Manifestation of the National Component in Borys Lyatoshynsky’s Chamber-Instrumental Works

Abstract

Some aspects of the manifestation of the national component in the chamber and instrumental work of Borys Lyatoshynsky are considered. It was discovered that the formation of instrumental chamber genres became a creative laboratory for the artist to practice the basics of his own creative method, with the national component being one ofsuch foundations. It is manifested at the different levels of the composer’s musical concepts: ideological, stylistic, compositional, formative, genre, stylistic. In many works, the Ukrainian influence is manifested in various aspects. It is noted that the embodiment of the national component changes with the evolution of the artist’s style. It develops from intuitive manifestations of ethnicity in the first quartets through the Ukrainian patriotic pathos of works of the middle period of creativity up to generalization in the idea of the Slavic roots of national origin in this late creative period. The peculiarities of the manifestations of the national component in the Borys Lyatoshynsky’s instrumental chamber works of different periods were analyzed.
