Problem analitičkog pristupa muzici Sergeja Prokofjeva

Abstract

The individualization of the style represents one of the characteristics of musical evolution and certain consequence of ever-growing artist’s focus on the expression. The beginnings of this tendency are first found in the baroque, although it does not reach the very fundament of the convention that is the tone organization system during the 18th and 19th century. However, in the 20th century, this once common component - the tone organization system - gets affected by individualization processes which, in some cases, lead to the creation of individual, 'inner' convention inside an artistic style. If we are not aware of this, it is impossible to understand the logic of composition process. The project expresses and points out the necessity of the individualization of analytic approach in some styles of the 20th century, so as to enable the comprehension of innovation mechanism and the insight into the inner relationships of the composer’s harmonic language. Thus, it also appears the necessity of finding the adequate analytic symbols. A specific leading principle of tonal organization of Prokofiev’s music is noticed in the works of the last prolific phase, which is also becoming a distinctive characteristic of the composer’s artistic expression.
