Musicology Annotation << Back On the Signs of the Instrumentalism of Buffoons in Stravinsky’s «Petrushka» (to the Question of Continuity of the Phenomena) M.N. Timofeeva The theme of the article reveals a relationship between three independent phenomena: the skomorokhi, the theatre of Petrushka and Stravinsky’s ballet on this subject. They will be reduced to common denominator from the instrumental point of view. The instrumental play differently embodied in each of them seems to be immanent property of professional musical thinking. Keywords: skomorokhi, instrumentalism, Stravinsky, Petrushka.
