Musicology Annotation << Back On some features of musical texture of farit yarullin’s compositions Elena M. Smirnova The article investigates the musical texture of Farit Yarullin’s compositions. The author is concerned with two main aspects of the problem: on the fi rst hand the musical texture is regarded as one of the distinctive feature of individual composer’s style, on the other hand – as musical phenomenon in which the tendencies common for all Tatar composers take place. National peculiarity thus can be detected at different levels of the organization of the texture: in the structure (shape) of elements of the musical language, in the specifi c types of their correlation, in the principles of voice-leading, in the approaches to the construction of musical texture as a whole. There is an assumption in musical theory that national style in music depends on rhythm, harmony and melody as the main parameters of musical structure. The results obtained in the article showed that musical texture can regard as one of the most important features of national style in music also.
