Description:
The dissertation is devoted to the study of the evolution of saxophone
concerto’ genre, which is demonstrated on the basis of a range of illustrative
works: concerts and concertino for the saxophone period from the first third
to the 80s of the twentieth century. The main tendencies of saxophone development in symphonic canvases in the context of the European academic
instrumental tradition are determined.
The study outlines the main historical stages of the development of the
saxophone in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, highlights the main
centers of performance in Europe and highlights important points that have
helped to consolidate the instrument in musical practice.
The tendencies of the development of the concerto genre from the time
of its emergence up to the twentieth century, as well as the dominant foundations of the genre-typological model of the instrumental concerto have
been investigated. Beginning with the work of the masters of the Venetian
instrumental school – Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, an instrumental concerto, based on the principle of the interaction of instrumental groups, shifts
the emphasis until the nineteenth century and becomes one of the most important genres intended to reveal the personality of the virtuoso musician.
In this context, it's quite logical to separate the genre of the concerto into
two types: virtuosed and symphonized, in which the second expressed desire to achieve maximum organics of the combination of the soloist and the
orchestra, and within the framework of the first role of the virtuoso musician is the main and often placed even higher than the aesthetic value of the
work.
Starting from the twentieth century, within the framework of the concerto, coexistence of various stylistic orientations, contrast compositional
techniques and compositional and dramatic principles became possible. The
general tendency of creating chamber music has led to the emergence of
non-standard orchestral and ensemble works in samples of this genre. In
particular, in a chamber concerto it is possible to have an equal dialogue
between the soloist and orchestral instruments or with timbre groups. Another trend of the last century, which was reflected in the saxophone repertory – the growth of prestige of the artist, an increasing of specially written
works.
The ways of forming the conert saxophone repertory, in particular Concerts and Concertino for saxophone, have been tracked, their connection
with the cells formed as a result of the activities of bright figures-soloists.
Their classifications are based on the personalities of musicians-performers,
since the overwhelming majority of the currently known works are related
to just three outstanding saxophonists of the twentieth century, which the
"classic" saxophone owes not only to its revival but also to its spread in the
world. The first of these is the French musician Marcel Mull, thanks to
whose efforts (and his students), the formation of the classic saxophone
school in Paris took place. The other figure is Sigurd Rascher, who was an
inspirer of saxophone concerts writing in different countries of the world,
with which his work as a performer was directly related: in Germany, it is
the concert by E. von Bork, in France – by O. Glazunov, in Sweden – by L.-
E. Larsson and E. von Koch. Consequently, S. Rascher worked quite effec-
tively as a ―moving center‖, which gave great results to spread the tendencies of "classical" saxophone performances not only in Europe but also in
America. The third important figure was Margarita Shaposhnikova. She was
the third strongest figure of the ―classic saxophone‖ of the twentieth century.
In this case, these seemingly negative factors, such as political isolation and
ideological dislike of a saxophone in the USSR, are related to his stereotypical vision of him as a jazz instrument, giving a radically opposite effect.
The total majority of concerts for saxophone and orchestra, written in the
Soviet period were devoted to her.
In the framework of the research, the illustrative samples of the European saxophone concerto are analyzed in accordance with the musicaltheoretical parameters (architectonics, expressive means), from the standpoint of concepts of concerto, in the context of the establishment of the performing repertory. The following works are analyzed in detail: concerts by P.
Bonno, A. Tomazi, P.-M. Dubois, O. Glazunov, L.-E. Larsson, A. Eshpai, O.
Fliarkovskiy, V. Runchak, concertino by R. Palester and V. Tsaits.
