Abstract

The purpose of the work is to reveal the stylistic direction of a number of Vasyl Bezkorovainyi's compositions, to identify the peculiarities of the transformation of Ukrainian folklore and the means of expressiveness of the romantic trend, and thus to trace their synthesis.
It is necessary to carry out a thorough comprehensive analysis of musical and expressive means – melody, harmony, rhythm – in accordance with the figurative and semantic load of piano compositions The methodological basis of the work is determined by the structure and artistic specificity of the object and includes: musical and stylistic approach and comprehensive musicological and structural analysis of the musical material itself.
The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the fact that it is the first to provide a comprehensive analysis of a number of piano pieces from several groups. The works in which the name of the genre is based on national roots are considered and analyzed: waltz, tango, kolomyika, foxtrot, as well as genres of «pure» music: nocturnes, songs without words.
Conclusions. Vasyl Buzkorovainyi's multifaceted piano works of various genres have artistic and pedagogical value. In all his compositions – in the arrangement of Ukrainian song and dance folklore, in the reliance on European dances and instrumental compositions of «pure» music – we observe the interpenetration of linguistic and stylistic signs of Ukrainian folk song and dance patterns and European music. Based on the models of the respective genre, the composer creates talented original compositions. In these works, the composer combines classical-romantic tendencies with some
manifestations of impressionism in the palette of stylistic features and language. Here we can observe a synthesis of harmonic, metrical, and timbral features of folklore and European music.
Prospects for further research. The numerous genres of the composer's piano works suggest the allocation of several more groups, and thus their study. These are the separate genres of miniatures (cossack, harness, march, poem), three sonatas and pieces for two pianos.
