Pliushchenko M. Timbral-textural specifics of transcriptions featuring accordion or button accordion by Kharkiv composers of the end of XX – beginning of XXI century

This thesis is dedicated to the research of transcriptional creativity for different folk instrumental ensembles featuring button or key accordion of modern Kharkiv composers: B. Mikhieiev, O. Nazarenko, A. Strilets, thus being first systematic research experience in the field of Ukrainian musicology. This is caused by growing quantity of Ukrainian musicological researches, devoted to national musical culture, its “emblematic”, representative phenomena, including Ukrainian folk orchestra, its genesis, evolution, path to professionalism, creation and development of genre and style system from folklore sources to composers’ creativity, from improvisational culture to academic interpretational tradition of professional music activity. Thus, examination of history of foundation and historiography of research of Kharkiv regional folk instrumental school, is made, as well of its branches, including class of button or key accordion; a generation of musicians-teachers, compositional, educational traditions, student artistic collectives, their repertoire (from secondary genres to original works for folk instruments orchestra) are illuminated. Creative outcome of composers shows significant share of secondary genres in it. As a result of this research, paramount role of timbral-textural complex (TTC) for interaction of performative and compositional components, establishment of new artistic, namely, concert, status of folk instruments was defined. This complex, firstly, reflects metamorphoses of dramaturgy, imagery, semantics, style, genre and form of original work in transcription; secondly, reveals the mechanics of phenomenon of composer’s interpretation of musical work-model, constituted by dialectics of dialogue between styles as well as between composers; thirdly, it highlights specifics of musical thinking, aimed at creation of new artistic integrity – bi-author’s transcriptional conception (which approximates it to the tasks of original creativity of composer).
