Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the genre system of contemporary music for accordion Ukrainian composers. Discusses the features and catalogued the types of genre synthesis, proposed classification of new genre manifestations, reveals the nature and characteristics of the new genre forms, genre neologisms and precedents. Examples of genre synthesis at the level of the combination of genre features sonatas and polyphonic cycle with a Fugue can be seen in the works of other Ukrainian composers for the accordion. Another kind of genre synthesis – the combination of solo instrumental circular shape with symphonic dramaturgy methods. This increased simfonic in the instrumental works provokes their authors to use them in doubled genre names. Also interesting examples of genre synthesis are works that represent the combination sonatest with other simple and expanded forms. Really innovative in fact experimentation with musical form and genre is bayans creativity of the composer V. Runchak. A number of genre models seamlessly molded into a single extensive and powerful drama observed in a detailed review of his symphonies "Passion of Vladislav" for Bayan, reader, rock band, video sequences and Symphony orchestra. Composition, which consists of two parts – "Epitaphie" and "Passacalie" (looks at the picture M. Ge "What is truth?") at the macro level combines the features of a genre such models as: passion, Symphony, instrumental concert, Symphony concert, a two-part polyphonic cycle, Passacalie. For many contemporary composers in their own creations genre sphere, and with it formotorola component often come to the fore in the palette of expressive means that allow them to reach creative solutions, and often of high artistic results in the aspect of form - and generatoren. New genre forms, which were formed by genre synthesis and containing in its structure a well-established features of two or more genres. This so-called Poljana works, examples of which were considered slightly higher (SuiteSymphony, Sonata, Rhapsody, Sonata-polyphonic cycle, etc.). In addition to many genre works add to this variety and some more interesting forms, especially the concert-a collage representing a Concerto for accordion and string orchestra "Rossiniana" V. Zubitsky or Concerto for accordion and orchestra "Pezza de la Piazza" S. Lunev. In these works-the stylizations of the share quotations of musical material appears to be substantially valid, and the role of the composer mainly focus on building a new form of drama from separate fragments of the finished material, though quite recycled textured, and sometimes intonation. Another example of a new genre forms in modern bayan music of Ukrainian composers can be found in the work of V. Runchak "Messe da Requiem" declared by the author in the genre of Concerto Piccolo. In this case, the observed transformation of the foundations of a great genre, that is, the instrumental Concerto (Concerto for orchestra) to significantly cameroni, so to speak, in his small invariant – for solo instrument. A shining example of the new approach regarding the formation, based on the aleatory principle of randomness shows the composition V. Vlasov "Infinito" ("Infinite"), which consists of 15 individual textural-Autonomous musical fragments-blocks. Aleatory approach in this case is implemented in an arbitrary construct form of the composition by combining these blocks in any order. Consider next a different kind of genre innovations in modern bayan music by Ukrainian composers, the socalled genre neologisms. This group locates new genre variety, which are not typical for bayan and chamber music. So quasi-Sonata (like the Sonata; something like a Sonata) is a phrase, which focuses on the conventions of genre definitions, as well as on the absence of a specific characteristic for the genre forms. Another group of new genre manifestations in contemporary music of Ukrainian composers – genre precedents – innovations which are out of music influence and realized in Banni music in the form of musical genres. So involved V. Runchak in a Symphony "Passion of Vladislav" epitaph – as you know is a literary genre and means the gravestone inscription is a dedication to the deceased. The originality of the author of this composition is manifested in the fact that in this work of a literary genre "mutates" into a musical. So, above mentioned trends and innovations in the genre (and with it – and forming) the system of modern accordion music by Ukrainian composers reflect bright individualized approach of the authors to find new genre forms and types through the loosening of the established genre system, which is a very characteristic symptom for musical art of our time.
