Ivanova L. Traditionalist stylistic direction in the creativity of the Ukrainian composers of the 19th – 20th centuries

The dissertation is devoted to the comprehension of the traditionalist stylistic in the art of Ukraine, which is an essential component of the stylistic paradigm of 20th century art as a whole, which has filled the coexisting systems of traditionalist and modernist-avant-garde layers. The introduction of the term "meta-direction" in relation to traditionalism was clarified, which was done by analogy to the definition of epochal meta-genre formations accepted in musicology (according to O. Markova). The dissertation presents the phenomenon of traditionalism in a categorical interpretation, as a set of stylistic formations at the level of the composer's creativity of the 20th century and the preceding century of romanticism (proto-traditionalism) in the form of an academic identification of the Biedermeier principles. Declaration of traditionalism as a meta-direction and as a component of the style paradigm of 20th century music is created by the need for a historically fair assessment of those cultural acquisitions that in the pre-perestroika period were interpreted as not corresponding to the “spirit of the era” and were also identified with the manifestation of the official art of socialist realism in Soviet Ukraine. The dissertation provides historical data on the meta-stylistic and two-syllabicity of the stylistic content of the art of the last century with parallels to academism and Biedermeier trends, along with the incarnations of “frantic”, “late” romanticism, psychological realism as “carriers” of innovation in the 19th century.
