Bytko O. The phenomenon of theatricality in S. Prokofiev’s poetics of composing

The work reveals the specificity of the phenomenon of theatricality in the composer poetics of S. Prokofiev, the structural basis of which is genre-style, composition-dramaturgic, composer-director techniques. Using the developed theory of noetic analysis, the theory of dynamic components of the national style, the mechanism of truly integral analysis and the theory of interpretation, we define theatrical features not only in opera genres, but also symphonic. The material of the research was those works of the composer in which the theatrical properties of music were translated with the greatest completeness and variety: the dynamically intense opera «The Gambler», the mysterious tragedy «Fiery Angel» and the Third Symphony, the spiritually exalted ballet «Prodigal Son» and the Fourth Symphony, the dramatic epic «War and Peace». The contradiction of the inner world of images, «combining the incongruous», contributed to the introduction of the concept images - complexes of dynamic and static. Discovered in the thesis innovative techniques in translating the theatrical properties in the composer poetics of Prokofiev illustrate the voluminousness of the artistic world embracing the achievements of representatives of previous eras and anticipating future accomplishments in world culture.
