In the post-Soviet period, since the late 80s and early 90s, a number of composers have explored new directions in creative styles thanks to new political and cultural freedoms. This study focuses on Valentyn Silvestrov’s unique Sonata for Violin and Piano “Post Scriptum” (1990), investigating its musical details and their meaning in its post- Soviet compositional context. The purpose is to contribute to a broader overview of Ukraine’s classical music tradition, especially as it relates to national identity and the ii current cultural and political state of the country.

    Songwriting and Singing: Ukrainian Revolutionary and Not So Revolutionary Activities in the 1860s Bohdan Klid This paper examines the composition and singing of revolutionary popu- list, patriotic, and nationalist songs by Kyiv-based Ukrainophile students and young intellectuals in the early 1860s. The first part discusses the writing of three songs: two by Anatolii Svydnytsky and one by Pavlo Chubynsky. Svydnytsky was a student at the St. Vladimir University in Kyiv (hereafter Kyiv University) during the years 1857-60, after which he left to teach Russian in a Myrhorod county school in Poltava guber- nia.^ Chubynsky was a law student at St. Petersburg University until the spring of 1861, whereupon he returned to his father’s country home near Boryspil, on the road from Kyiv to Pereiaslav, to write his dissertation.^ Both participated in Ukrainophile activities, which included writing for the St. Petersburg-based Ukrainophile journal Osnova, attending meet- ings of the Hromadas—societies of Ukrainian populist intellectuals in St. Petersburg and Kyiv—and participating in Hromada-sponsored activities, such as endeavors related to popular education, including teaching in Sunday schools and distributing Ukrainian-language popular literature to peasants and city youth.^ ^ On Svydnytsky, see M. Ye. Syvachenko, Anatolii Svydnytsky i zarodzhennia sotsi- alnoho romanu v ukrainskii literaturi (Kyiv: Vydavnytstvo Akademii nauk Ukrainskoi RSR, 1962). He is best known as the author of the first realist novel in Ukrainian, Liu- boratski, which he completed in 1862 but was not published until 1886. ^ On Chubynsky, see Dmytro Cherednychenko, Pavlo Chubynsky (Kyiv: Altematyvy, 2005). He is best known as an ethnographer and the de facto head of the Southwestern Section of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society during the years 1873-76.

    MYKOLA LYSENKO: VIOLIN MUSIC by Lyubov Kyjanovska and Solomia Soroka Mykola Lysenko (1842–1912) is considered the father of Ukrainian classical music. He was an excellent concert pianist who received a first-rate musical education. He studied with a Czech pianist at his home in Kyiv before attending the Leipzig Conservatoire, where his most prominent teachers included Ferdinand David, Ignaz Moscheles, Carl Reinecke and Ernst Wenzel. His statue now stands outside the Opera House in Kyiv, and the music conservatoire of L’viv bears his name. There has recently been a revival of his music in Ukraine, but outside Ukraine his music is practically unknown. Lysenko wrote in a late-Romantic style common to many late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth- century composers, with an important difference: his Ukrainian identity was a vital part of his music. For example, he had the chance of what would have been a career-milestone performance of his opera Taras Bulba in Moscow but because of the Ems Ukaz of 1876, which prohibited any publication, stage performance, lecture, or imported publication in the Ukrainian language,1 it would have had to be performed in Russian instead of the original Ukrainian – and Lysenko refused to countenance the preparation of a Russian version of the libretto.2 Most importantly, he was the first ethnographer of Ukrainian music, and he used the results of his research to varying degrees throughout all his best works. Lysenko was born in Hrymky, a village near the Dnipro River between Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk on 22 March [10 March Old Style] 1842. His father came from an old aristocratic family, tracing its lineage back to the Cossacks of the seventeenth century.
