Section 2. Dynamics of Search and Transformations in the Musical and Cultural Space of the 20th and
Abstract
The article highlights the ways of development of piano creativity of Chinese composers in connection with the traditions of world musical culture. The presented historical and chronological review is aimed at revealing the dynamics of Chinese piano creativity as a result of the integration process, identifying the features of the modern artistic process in national pianism. The purpose of the study is to summarize the historical experience of the evolution of piano creativity of Chinese composers in the context of globalization processes of modern musical art. For the first time, a periodization is proposed, the main criterion of which is the degree of intensity of interactions of “national – non-national” at different stages of the evolution of Chinese piano art. The integration of Chinese and foreign in piano music is considered at different levels: from stylistics, sound creation, technique of playing Chinese instruments, genre; to philosophy, aesthetics, worldview in general.
