Musicology Annotation << Back The Nineteenth Symphony for Wind Orchestra by Nikolai Myaskovsky Skhaplok Galina The article is devoted to the Nineteenth Symphony by Nikolai Myaskovsky, the fi rst Russian symphony composed specifically for a brass band (1939). This work stands at the level of the highest achievements in the fi eld of military brass music of the twentieth century: it is unique in its depth, dramatic intent and expressive musical language. In addition, the composition is of fundamental importance for clarifying the question of the possibility of translating the symphony genre into music for a brass band. The study highlights the history of the creation of the symphony and the specifics of the work being analyzed, provides a consistent structural and comprehensive analysis of the composition, and thoroughly identifies significant ideas in terms of considering the musical form of the symphony. The topic of the article is urgent because the appeal to the symphonic heritage of N. Myaskovsky, already by virtue of his artistic perfection, is eternally relevant for both researchers and performing musicians.
