Musicology Annotation << Back Renewal of the Genre of the Instrumental Concert in the Works of Russian Composers in the 1960s–1970s. Instrumental Concerts of B. Tishchenko. Part 2 Serov Yuri E. The article examines instrumental concerts by the outstanding Russian composer of the second half of the XX–early XXI century Boris Ivanovich Tishchenko (1939–2010). A special aspect of the study is the work of Tishchenko in the context of the movement for the renewal of symphony that emerged in Soviet music in the wake of the political “thaw”. In the first part of the study, the author recreates the panorama of domestic instrumental concerts in the 1960s–1970s, analyzes the works of the leaders of Soviet music A. Eshpai, B. Tchaikovsky, R. Shchedrin, A. Schnittke, S. Slonimsky, Y. Falik, E. Denisov, as well as three early instrumental concerts by B. Tishchenko – for piano (1962), cello (1963) and violin (1964). The works of B. Tishchenko in the genre of an instrumental concert of the 1960s–1970s demonstrate various aspects of his talent as a composer, an obvious desire to go beyond the limits outlined by tradition, the search for individual solutions in the field of shaping, harmonic language, rhythm, timbre, a special role solo voice, as well as, which has become characteristic of Tishchenko, intonational content, imparting impressive brightness and strength to his works. The second part of the article examines the following works by B. Tishchenko: Concerto for Cello No. 2 (1969), Concerto for Flute, Piano and String Orchestra (1972), Concerto for Harp (1977) and Concerto for Violin No. 2 (Violin Symphony, 1981). Conclusions about the composer’s contribution to the development and renewal of the genre are given.
