Stylistic Analysis of Musical Work in the Content of Professional Training of Students of Artistic Specialties: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects of the Problem

Abstract

The theoretical and methodological aspects of the problem of stylistic analysis of musical works in the context of professional training of students majoring in arts are investigated. It is revealed that stylistic analysis of musical works is of particular importance as an important means of forming analytical and critical thinking, musical taste, interpretative culture, and professional competence of future specialists in the field of musical art. It is determined that stylistic analysis should become an effective means of forming the professional culture of future music teachers, combining musical performance, teaching methods and pedagogical practice. A review of musicology literature has shown that stylistic analysis is a key tool in the professional training of students of arts specialties, and its methodological principles are constantly being improved thanks to the research of contemporary foreign and Ukrainian musicologists. It has been established that the methodology of stylistic analysis is based on a systematic approach to the study of musical material, which allows students to identify individual and genre features of a work, determine the characteristic features of a composer's style, and establish connections between the artistic concept and the means of its implementation. Using a comparative analysis of Chopin's Prelude in E major No. 9 and Kosenko's «Lullaby» as examples, the methodological significance of stylistic analysis of musical works of different origins and genres is substantiated, which makes it possible to compare the specifics of musical language, expressive means, and pedagogical possibilities of their use in the educational process. It has been proven that it is the methodology of stylistic analysis that should provide students with a comprehensive understanding of a musical work, considering its artistic, stylistic, harmonic, melodic, rhythmic, and textural features, preparing future specialists for conscious performance, interpretation and musical-pedagogical activities.
