Инварианты музыкальных стилей и их особенности в музыке авангарда и поставангарда
Invariants of Music Styles and Their Specialities in Avant-Gardе and Post-Avant-Gаrde Music

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to analyze the phenomenon of music style in its historical evolution, as well as the principles of the emergence of stylistic invariants. Style acts as a predetermined structural-semantic entity and a means of arranging the sound matter. Invariants on different levels of musical speech are the subject of Firuz Ulmasov's works – I project the concept of invariants onto style. If in pre-Romantic music, including non-avant-garde modernism, the stylistic invariants possessed certain sufficiently definite musical meanings, serving as actual musical “words” – intonations, then the disintegrated matter as an invariant of avant-garde and post-avant-garde styles bears the meaning of negation of all the traditional (baroque-classical-romantic) connotations. On this basis, new meanings of the arranged chaos are built from the remains, which the listener should reveal after the composer.
