Musicology Annotation << Back Paradoxes of concert genre in the works of Sergey Berinsky Oksana M. Zarodnyuk The article presents Sergey Berinsky works written in the genre of concert and playing a signifi cant role in his heritage. The philosophy of Nicholas Berdyaev, in the light of which the works of S. Berinsky are considered, occupies a special place among the composer spiritual constants. One of the main ideas of Berdyaev, the primacy of freedom, is especially close to the composer works, bringing paradoxical discovery into his pieces. An individual type of S. Berinsky concert thinking, which is organically connected with symphonization principles, is emphasized. Organization of form is presented in accordance with three types of time designated by Berdyaev: cosmic, historical and existential. This explains the unexpected compositional solutions, as well as identifies the author’s «agronomic» principle of the sonata form and orchestral writing peculiarities. Keywords: Berinskiy, genre, concert, Berdyaev, a paradox. Contacts: E-mail: o.k.s.a.n.a@inbox.ru Pp. 33-42.
