Title: HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF INFLUENCE OF SERGEY PROKOFIEV’S CREATIVITY ON THE CHINESE PIANO MUSIC OF THE XX CENTURY
Abstract: The purpose of the article and its novelty are in the fact that for the first time in the Russian musicology the author considers historical parallels and intersection points of Sergei Prokofiev’s creativity, aesthetics and style with the Chinese piano music of the ХХ - early ХXI century. The topicality of the proposed material is conditioned, on the one hand, by the need to “expand the horizons” of the study of Prokofiev’s influences on world music processes, on the other hand, by the urgent need to generalize the experience reflecting the Chinese piano music evolution over the last century. The paper presents the results of studying historical parallels between Prokofiev’s works and the Chinese piano school, as well as a wide panorama of the long and fruitful interaction of the Russian and Chinese cultures at various time stages. Each of them differs both in a special format and specificity of aesthetic and style characteristics.
