Musicology Annotation << Back On the performing style of the Moscow violin school of the mid-20th century Safonova Elena L. The article is devoted to one of the most important aspects of the Moscow violin school of the last century. It is a brief generalization of the aesthetic-style phenomenon embodied in musical performance. The phenomenon of the Moscow school itself is due to a new level of understanding of the performing process, a deep awareness of the interconnectedness and interdependence of its various components. The purpose of the study is to show how the style of this creative direction is associated with the history and features of its formation, with the tradition of the Russian violin school of Leopold Auer. A systematic analysis of the available sound recordings of violin works (the most important source of research into the problem posed) reveals a rich palette of individual performing handwriting and a variety of interpretation options. A special place in the formation of the modern violin repertoire and the resulting new artistic features belongs to the co-creation of the largest domestic artists and composers (D. Oistrakh, L. Kogan, D. Tsyganov, N. Myaskovsky, A. Khachaturian, S. Prokofi ev, D. Shostakovich, D Kabalevsky, N. Rakov, E. Denisov, T. Khrennikov, etc.). Keywords: Moscow violin school, performing style, tradition, interpretation, artistic feature, expressive means. DOI: 10.25791/musicology.06.2020.1130 Pp. 09-16.
