Written thesis of the artistic doctoral project University of Arts Helsinki, Sibelius-Academy, DocMus Doctoral School. EST 34. The thesis is an analysis of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Predislovie k polnomu so- braniju moih sochinenij I kratkoe razmyshlenie po povodu etogo predislovija op. 123 using a methodological framework taken from writings of Russian literary critics of the early 20th century and their followers. In the first chapter several key notions are introduced and contextualised – namely, polygenetic quotation, skaz and ambiguity. The claim is stated, that Preface could be analysed in the similar way to Boris Eikhenbaum’s analysis of Gogol’s Shinel. The second chapter is dedicated to analysing and contextualising four mu- sical polygenetic quotations (Mints) in Preface. Quotation sources are mostly works by Mussorgsky (Boris Godunov, Seminarist) and Shostakovich himself (Kazn’ Stepana Razina, Satiry, 13th Symphony). In the third chapter parallels are drawn between the skaz technique of Mikhail Zoshchenko and certain aspects of Preface – both verbal and musi- cal. Verbosity, tautology, usage of bureaucratic lexis as well as similarities of syntactic structures are compared in Zoshchenko’s stories and Shostakovich’s Preface. Verbosity is seen as a metaphoric “death of words”, therefore different aspects of death – both artistic or physical – are reflected upon. The fourth chapter concentrates on analysing and characterising the nar- rator of Preface as well as his relationship to the text and its physical author. Notions of plagiarism, graphomania and death of the author are traced in con- nection with narrator’s figure in Preface making use of Shostakovich’s biogra- phy and verbal texts. A special emphasis is made on the metatextual qualities 6 of Preface. The work is seen as a transition piece in Shostakovich’s vocal output – marking a turning point from subjects concerning social to timeless issues of death and artistic creativity. The last chapter presents a personal overview of the problem of artistic research – against the biographical background of the author, aiming at dis- charging the whole dichotomy of artistic research versus artistic practice. Keywords: Shostakovich, intertextuality, Pushkin, skaz, quotation, polygen- esis 7 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Finally, after seven years of labour, this is the conclusion of my doctoral project. And since one of the central topics of my thesis is verbosity, I would like to at- tempt brevity and concision at least once – even if it is only for the acknowledg- ment part. Firstly, I thank the DocMus department of the Sibelius Academy, in particular Dr. Tuire Kuusi and Dr. Päivi Järviö for all the support I have received during the last seven years, including a two-year period as a Research Associate. I am ever grateful to my supervisor, Prof. Anne Kauppala for her support and patience while guiding me through all the stages of my research. She succeed- ed in being simultaneously strict and inspiring; the the best influence I could possibly have hoped for. I would like to thank the Dmitri Shostakovich Archive in Moscow for their help with obtaining materials for my research. For welcoming me to participate in their seminars and for their constructive criticism pertaining to this project, I remain indebted to Prof. Lauri Suurpää, Prof. Tomi Huttunen, Dr. Gennady Obatnin and Prof. Kirill Postoutenko. Thank you also to Lynne Sunderman for the languistic revision of my thesis, to Paul Forsell for preparing the manuscript for publication and to Jan Rosström for the cover design. To my parents Elena and Alexander who brought me into this world, supported me at every stage of my life and gave constant encouragement to my academic aspirations; I offer you my deepest gratitude. Last but not least I would like to thank my wife Laura for her patience, devo- tion, understanding and love. She truly is, quoting Friedrich Rückert, “mein guter Geist, mein beßres Ich”. 8 9 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 0. Morphology of a certain artistic research tale ..................11 0.1.

  • Thesis October 11,2012
    Demystifying Galina Ustvolskaya: Critical Examination and Performance Interpretation. Elena Nalimova 10 October 2012 Submitted in partial requirement for the Degree of PhD in Performance Practice at the Goldsmiths College, University of London 1 Declaration The work presented in this thesis is my own and has not been presented for any other degree. Where the work of others has been utilised this has been indicated and the sources acknowledged. All the translations from Russian are my own, unless indicated otherwise. Elena Nalimova 10 October 2012 2 Note on transliteration and translation The transliteration used in the thesis and bibliography follow the Library of Congress system with a few exceptions such as: endings й, ий, ый are simplified to y; я and ю transliterated as ya/yu; е is е and ё is e; soft sign is '. All quotations from the interviews and Russian publications were translated by the author of the thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis presents a performer’s view of Galina Ustvolskaya and her music with the aim of demystifying her artistic persona. The author examines the creation of ‘Ustvolskaya Myth’ by critically analysing Soviet, Russian and Western literature sources, oral history on the subject and the composer’s personal recollections, and reveals paradoxes and parochial misunderstandings of Ustvolskaya’s personality and the origins of her music. Having examined all the available sources, the author argues that the ‘Ustvolskaya Myth’ was a self-made phenomenon that persisted due to insufficient knowledge on the subject. In support of the argument, the thesis offers a performer’s interpretation of Ustvolskaya as she is revealed in her music.

  • A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich
    A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich Submitted by Anna Megan Davis to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in December 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 3 Abstract Theological reflection on music commonly adopts a metaphysical approach, according to which the proportions of musical harmony are interpreted as ontologies of divine order, mirrored in the created world. Attempts to engage theologically with music’s expressivity have been largely rejected on the grounds of a distrust of sensuality, accusations that they endorse a ‘religion of aestheticism’ and concern that they prioritise human emotion at the expense of the divine. This thesis, however, argues that understanding music as expressive is both essential to a proper appreciation of the art form and of value to the theological task, and aims to defend and substantiate this claim in relation to the music of twentieth-century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Analysing a selection of his works with reference to culture, iconography, interiority and comedy, it seeks both to address the theological criticisms of musical expressivism and to carve out a positive theological engagement with the subject, arguing that the distinctive contribution of Shostakovich’s music to theological endeavour lies in relation to a theology of hope, articulated through the possibilities of the creative act.

  • Russian Novels in Marathi Polysystem 87
    RUSSIAN NOVELS IN MARATHI POLYSYSTEM 87 Chapter IV: RUSSIAN NOVELS IN MARATHI POLYSYSTEM The Marathi polysystem created a subsystem of translated literature in the historical colonial context. It also created a space for Russian literature within the subsystem of translated literature as a result of the factors mentioned in the last chapter. This chapter attempts to analyse the trends of translation of some representative Russian texts in Marathi polysystem. We conduct this study with concrete literary works translated into Marathi and try to find out exactly which literary works have been entered into Marathi polysystem since 1932. We need to analyse the factors, which played a decisive role in the selection of these works by Marathi polysystem. It is important to determine the function of Russian literature (Novels, Short Stories and Dramas) in Marathi polysystem. This is what we attempt to touch in our next three chapters. II Russian Literature: A Brief Historical Sketch Before we analyse the translations of Russian literary works in the Marathi polysystem, it becomes essential for us to have a brief historical view of the Russian literature. An account of the development of Russian literary polysystem acquaints us with the process of its formation as well as the major events and literary creations in Russia.
