These compositions reflect the epic world picture, and this is why the symphonic type embodying the musical contents of the works under discussion can be defined as the style of epic genre. The objective nature of the images determined by the themes performed as signs of “outer reality” and manifestation of variety in unity are the most essential features of the epic world picture expressed in the music of the Russian composers. The paper deals with works of diverse genres with similar principles of musical development, formbuilding and musical dramaturgy. The tradition of the symphonic style of epic genre in Russian music in the XIX century was evolving dynamically and reached its climax in 1860-s. Then a noticeable decline in composers’ interest towards this field of symphonic music occurred. At the same time certain shift of accents is observed in sub-genres of one-part pieces in the field of symphonic music described. Thus, overture genre that was apparently originally dominant is gradually displaced by the genres having greater freedom of form-building as compared to overture (primarily fantasy, then capriccio).Having played itself out by 1890-s the tradition of the symphonic style of epic genre is seen as growing into other areas of Russian symphonic music (symphonies, suites and musical pictures).Read More
