Musicology Annotation << Back Doll in Сhildren's Games (Based on Piano Music for Children in the 19th–20th Centuries) Maria Bazilevich The article deals with the program piano pieces that embody dolls' images in the context of children's story-role playing games. As the test material there used piano pieces of foreign and Russian composers of the 19 - 20 centuries: V. Agafonnikov, V. Blok, V. Vitlin, J. Dandlo, C. Debussy, E. Denisov, F. Constant, B. Martinu, N. Puzey, P. Tchaikovsky, D. Shostakovich. The study is based on the installation method of semantic analysis of musical themes, on the thesis of children psychology and on the theory of musical perception. The author reveals a number of genre and intonational elements ( dancing and marching models, symbols of movements and eurhythmics, signs of musical instruments, home vocal lyricism and voice intonational formulas) used by the composers to create musical images of dolls. Here is also grounded the postulate that all these means of expression are corresponding to perculiarities of children's musical perception. Keywords: music for children, doll, children's story-role-playing game, semantic analysis of musical theme, the psychology of children's musical perception.
