Abstract
“Vocal style” in Western European and Chinese art history: a comparative analysis
Highlights
The category of style is one of the most used in modern musicology
An analysis of specialized literature suggests that the ever-increasing number of appropriate studies has not yet influenced the crystallization of the definition of “vocal style” in the scientific sense
This is due to the fact that the meaning of the term “vocal style” has many dimensions that reflect technological, aesthetic, historical, individual and national parameters of creativity
Summary
The category of style is one of the most used in modern musicology. This is due to objective reasons: the attention of the “consumer” of a cultural product is mostly not focused on its author recently. It is interesting that even in the baroque treatises maxims about the advantages of the Italian school bel canto can be found; and nowadays it continues to determine the development of European and world vocal art. Academic vocal culture in this country has begun to develop only in the early twentieth century and imitated and appropriated the aesthetic and technology of the dominant European vocal style bel canto.
