Musicology Annotation << Back To the question of the religious-philosophical views of S. Gubaidulina: literary parallels Olga A. Moskvina The article introduces the concept of Tolstoy Gubaidulina as one of the components of the branched out system of religious and philosophical views of the composer, which at the moment has not been refl ected in special studies. Tolstoy Gubaidulina is treated as a free, extra-church interpretation of biblical truths, characteristic of creativity and the "philosophy of being" of late Tolstoy. In the system of proofs of Tolstoy's idea – musical and "humanitarian" arguments. The first concerns the code of the double concert "Two Paths", marked by a direct Tolstoyan debunking of religious doctrine (presented in the concert by an Orthodox bell-tower); "Humanitarian" aspect connects Gubaidulina's ideas with the classic Russian novel ("In croce"). It would seem that the point of divergence can be regarded as a relation to so-called mysticism, but Tolstoy and Gubaidulina in creativity (not in verbal pamphlets) interpret it as a kind of refraction of "eternal" themes, originally having a borderline nature. Thus, with reference to a certain body of works (instrumental works with a religious program), one can speak of Tolstoy Gubaidulina. Keywords: Gubaidulina, Tolstoyism, Russian classical novel, the principle of "in croce", mysticism. DOI: 10.25791/musicology.08.2018.112 Contacts: E-mail: nngk.concerto@yandex.ru Pp. 21-29.
