SOME GENRES AND FORMS OF EARLY MUSIC IN MODERN DOMESTIC PRACTICE

Abstract

The presented scientific research analyzes the performance activities of contemporary artists specializing in harpsichord art at relevant festivals, among which the powerful annual Bach-fest (Sumy) and the Festival of Early Music in Lviv stand out. Throughout its history, the Bach-fest (Sumy) has brought together Ukrainian performers and leading artists from various countries in Europe, America, and Asia. This festival is practically a peer of the Ukrainian harpsichord school, with many musicians from Kyiv and Lviv honing their skills by performing on its stages and participating in its masterclasses. In turn, the Festival of Early Music in Lviv almost immediately became a creative platform for the establishment and development of historically informed performance in Ukraine. These musical meetings of like-minded individuals have become a point of intersection between the European and Ukrainian harpsichord schools, promoting active professional contacts among early music performers. It should be noted that the scholarly comprehension and artistic exploration of the genre panorama of Baroque keyboard music opens new creative perspectives for Ukrainian musicians.
