Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to investigate the functioning of anticipation in correlation with emotional intelligence in a pianist-accompanist’s work in the concert phase. Emotional intelligence is the ability to work with emotions, including the ability to anticipate them. Anticipation is the property of the psyche to foresee the next events in time, including emotions. This is the point of intersection that the concept of the article is built on. Research methodology. To achieve the declared purpose, we use the following methods. Systemic method allows us to explore the principles of functioning of anticipation as an attribute of the emotional intelligence system. Psychological method is aimed to consider the congenital and acquired patterns of the human brain through the prism of psychology. A method of theoretical modeling helps to construct speculative models of potential real situations. The scientific novelty of the research consists in revealing the direct co-dependence of anticipation and emotional intelligence and projecting their functioning on the pianist-accompanist’s creative work. There is always an element of unpredictability in the process of concert performance, which ensures the openness of the field of emotional reactions. For a pianist-accompanist, the difficulty lies not only in working out one's own emotions, but also in preparing a response to a partner's concert emotion. To minimise losses on stage, one will need the ability to work with the tools of emotional intelligence, among which anticipation plays a significant role. Conclusions. The importance of understanding the acts of anticipation for a successful use of the resources of emotional intelligence is substantiated. Expanding the range of resources of one’s own body by consciously transferring innate predispositions into the processes controlled by consciousness raises the professional activity of a pianist-accompanist to a higher level of creative mastery.
