Abstract

The aim of the study is to cover the topic of landscape in the composer’s practice of the 20th century from the perspective of performing interpretation, as a complex artistic phenomenon consisting of a number of elements. The following research methods were chosen: monitoring the processes of performance of works; systematization of video sources; audio analysis; comparison and synthesis. The conclusions of the study were theses that emphasize the importance of: a deep sense of style, which includes works dedicated to the landscape; perfect performance technique; a creative approach to the pace and nature of the interpretation; the ability of musicians to create a special atmosphere of natural pictures in the sound fabric. The academic novelty of the article is researching the landscape in academic music of the 20th century from the perspective of performance interpretation as a single complex multi-component system. Its practical significance is emphasized by the understanding of the key components of the process of performing such works.
