GENRE-STYLE DYNAMICS OF SAXOPHONE QUARTET IN THE WORLD MUSIC CULTURE OF THE 19TH-20TH CENTURIES

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the proposed article is to highlight the genre and style dynamics of the saxophone quartet in the world musical culture of the 19th and 20th centuries. The research methodology is based on the use of the following methods: historical – when outlining the genesis and evolution of the saxophone quartet genre; analytical and typological – when identifying the immanent features of specific works of the analysed genre and combining them into appropriate typological groups; general cultural – when reproducing the historical and stylistic context of the development of the genre (in the unity of compositional and performing components). The scientific novelty of the work consists in a panoramic study of the evolutionary process of the saxophone quartet genre in the world musical culture of the 19th-20th centuries, outlining its periodization, and determining the genre-stylistic features of individual works of the analyzed genre. Conclusions. In the process of researching the evolution of the saxophone quartet genre in the world musical culture of the 19th and 20th centuries, its periodisation is proposed: the second half of the 19th century – forming a saxophone quartet; the first half of the 20th century – crystallisation, establishment of immanent features of the genre; the second half of the 20th century – the beginning of the 21st century – modification of the saxophone quartet genre – enrichment of its genre-stylistic features, typological types. On the basis of the analytical characteristics of individual saxophone quartets, it was concluded that the analysed genre reflects the leading stylistic trends in the development of European, and more broadly, world musical culture, such as the tendency towards programming (G. Bumke, J. France, J. Absil), neoclassicism (E. Bozza), the use of pointillistic technique and dodecaphony (A. Webern), the combination of modern musical language with jazz stylistics (A. Desenclo), minimalism and jazz (F. Glass).
