The main problems of modern research on chamber instrumental music in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

Abstract

In the center of the author’s attention are the problems of chamber instrumental music in the Eastern European countries: the renewal of the musical language, the genre and stylistic searches, the significant compositional achievements in the field of chamber music. Young musicologists rely in their research on the works of L. Raaben, a recognized authority in the field. They consider the role of the chamber instrumental genres in the artistic space of the Silver Age, present the evolution of the genre of a large ensemble with the participation of the piano, analyze the problems of the history and theory of the piano duet of the 20th century, of the piano sonata, string ensembles. A special area of research is devoted to the chamber music of some composers (A. Dvořák, S. Prokofiev, V. Platonov, etc.), of some regions (Udmurtia), countries (Ukraine, Belarus). The analysis of the presented theses demonstrates the rich prospects for the further study of this field of composition creation, which is considered by many musicians as an area of experimentation and search.
