THE PROGRAM PIANO CYCLE O. GERASYMENKO "THE LIGHT OF AWAKENED DREAMS" FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MASTERING POLYSTYLISTIC SYNTHESIS AND SOUND TERRAIN

Abstract

Oksana Gerasymenko's Piano Cycle "The Light of Awakened Dreams" is considered as a promising educational material in classes on a specialized piano for the use of both individual plays and a cycle in general for the formation of a significant body of performing skills and techniques. It reflects the richness of stylistic tendencies and polytheisticism, inherent in its individual composer style. The cycle of O. Gerasymenko makes it possible to comprehend the richness of syntheses of genre features of the academic and pop-jazz spheres, the clarity of structures and free open forms, the clear separation of the functions of textural layers, and the constant change in sound density and relief, extended tone, modality and sinoric. The didactic tasks in the work include the metro-rhythmic, the positional difficulties, the problems of sound formation, the ratio of sound reliefs and background-sonorous sounds, the aspects of pedaling, the achievement of the integrity of the melodic line, set out by interval duplications, timely poly-instrumental weights (flutes, harps, etc.), the feeling of drama of the deployment of the form without solving these accomplishments impossible to comprehend the artistic whole, defined by the author's program. Positive didactic qualities of the cycle are determined by the synthesis of concert and teaching activities, composer professionalism, consistent work on the repertoire of the ensembles and pedagogical needs.
