STYLISTIC TENDENCIES IN THE WORKS FOR ACCORDION BY UKRAINIAN COMPOSERS IN THE LATE 20TH – EARLY 21ST CENTURIES

The stylistic panorama of the 20th century music is notable for an aesthetic variety of works by different composers and compositional schools. This fact is corroborated by the ambiguity and plurality of musical cultures, made manifest by certain artistic trends and tendencies transpiring during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the century progressed, certain artistic tendencies underwent a transformation and evolved into other stylistic novelties. The works for the accordion by Ukrainian composers display folk-like influences and project an array of aesthetic approaches to the idea of musical personification. This is most clearly expressed in the way the composer: (1) borrows the material from folklore; (2) appeals to lyrical, psychological, expressive and figurative characteristics of work of art with the expression of the process-emotional nature of person’s “inner world”; (3) experiments with associative references such as, intonation, intonemas, and grief; (4) employs programmatic narrative; (5) uses epigraph and musical quotes; and (6) makes clear references to the genres and techniques of baroque and, occasionally, early classical music
