SMALL PIANO CYCLE IN THE LEGACY OF THE POLISH COMPOSERS OF 1920–1950 S (STYLE ASPECT)

Abstract

The article attempts to make generalizations about the lines of continuity of the national tradition, the study of general trends and features of the author’s individuality. Based on the works of Grazyna Bacewicz, Roman Matseevsky,
Peter Perkovsky, Arthur Malyavsky and a number of other Polish musicians, the palette of style trends and
characteristics of the individual author's style inherent in the Polish periodical genre of the small cycle are outlined.
They are united by the commonality of creative installations, which leads from the achievements of Karol Shimanovsky (his genre priorities, the circle of figurativeness, the synthesis of folklore beginning with modernistic musical vocabulary and compositional and technical means).
