Kutasevych A. Style Differentiation of the Sacred Music Heritages of Stepan Degtiarev and Artem Vedel: the Issues of the Authorship in the Contradictive Attribution Works

The research is devoted to one of the most urgent problem of the heritages of the two outstanding Ukrainian sacred music masters at the brink of 18-19 centuries, S. Degtiarev and A. Vedel: identification of the authorship in the works assigned to one of them in some sources but to the other in some others. The contradictive attribution works presented in different sources as the ones by S. Degtiarev and A. Vedel, have been outlined. The comparative genre-style analysis of the sacred music works by the two artists has been performed on the number of the undoubted attribution works. The similar and different features of their styles have been defined, and the musical-thematic analogies in their works have been examined. The methods of the analysis of the contradictive attribution works concerning the subject of clarifying their authorship have been developed. As many as 22 contradictive attribution works (5 hymns, 16 concertos and 1 motet) have been analyzed. The authorship of 18 of them has completely been identified.
