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.

  • Cornerstones of the Ukrainian Violin Repertoire 1870 – Present Day
    Cornerstones of the Ukrainian violin repertoire 1870 – present day Carissa Klopoushak Schulich School of Music McGill University Montreal, Quebec January 2013 A doctoral paper submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Music in Performance Studies © Carissa Klopoushak 2013 i Abstract: The unique violin repertoire by Ukrainian composers is largely unknown to the rest of the world. Despite cultural and political oppression, Ukraine experienced periods of artistic flurry, notably in the 1920s and the post-Khrushchev “Thaw” of the 1960s. During these exciting and experimental times, a greater number of substantial works for violin began to appear. The purpose of the paper is one of recovery, showcasing the cornerstone works of the Ukrainian violin repertoire. An exhaustive history of this repertoire does not yet exist in any language; this is the first resource in English on the topic. This paper aims to fill a void in current scholarship by recovering this substantial but neglected body of works for the violin, through detailed discussion and analysis of selected foundational works of the Ukrainian violin repertoire. Focusing on Maxym Berezovs´kyj, Mykola Lysenko, Borys Lyatoshyns´kyj, Valentyn Sil´vestrov, and Myroslav Skoryk, I will discuss each composer's life, oeuvre at large, and influences, followed by an in-depth discussion of his specific cornerstone work or works. I will also include cultural, musicological, and political context when applicable. Each chapter will conclude with a discussion of the reception history of the work or works in question and the influence of the composer on the development of violin writing in Ukraine.

Kotlyarevsky, Ukraine ABSTRACT: The article is devoted to the theme of stylistic allusions in the piano composition called "Eleven Etudes in the Form of Ancient Dances" created by Viktor Kosenko – the Ukrainian composer of the first half of the 20th century. An overview of musicological research devoted to this cycle has been given. The emphasis is placed on V. Kosenko's pianism and the uniqueness of the composition in the history of Ukrainian piano music. We have presented the structure and dramaturgy analysis of the cycle "Eleven Etudes in the Form of Ancient Dances" which is based on an ancient dance suite of the Baroque period. Stylistic allusions in each etude-dance, embodied through texture, tonality, melodic-harmonic inversions, have been revealed. The connection of V. Kosenko's composition with the traditions of Ukrainian music of the 19th century, neoclassical tendencies of Western European art of the 20s-30s of the 20th century and the situation of postmodernism at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries is emphasized. Keywords: piano cycle, pianism, stylistic allusions, ancient dance suite. I. INTRODUCTION Ukrainian art, in particular music and creativity of composers of the Soviet period, needs rethinking, and a new analytical view of the musical processes of the 20th century in Ukraine.

    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 2016 5 2015: THE YEAR IN REVIEW As war in east continues, Ukraine moves Westward ocket attacks in the east marked the beginning of 2015 for Ukraine. Twelve civilians were killed and R11 were wounded by a missile fired by Russian- backed militants that hit a bus in the town of Volnovakha, 35 kilometers southwest of Donetsk, on January 13. President Petro Poroshenko stated: “This is a disaster and a tragedy for Ukraine. This is more evidence after the MH17 plane, after the many civilian casualties – it is a crime that terrorists from the so-called DNR and LNR [Donetsk and Luhansk peoples’ republics] have severely violated my peace plan, which was approved and support- ed by the European Council and the European Union.” It was yet more evidence also that the ceasefire agreed to in Minsk in September of 2014 was being violated almost daily. As of the beginning of 2015, it was noted that over 4,700 people had been killed and more than 10,000 injured in the fighting in Ukraine’s east that began in April 2014. At year’s end, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights reported that there were now more than 28,000 casualties in Ukraine since the war began, www.president.gov.ua including more than 9,000 killed.

Mein Name ist Dorothea Bossert und das ist meine CD-Auswahl, die Sie in den kommenden 90 Minuten hier erwartet: Los geht es mit Alter Musik, mit der spanischen Geigerin Lina Tur Bonet, ihrem neu gegründeten, gleichfalls spanischen Barockorchester Musica Alchimica und ihrer rasanten Einspielung von Vivaldi-Violinkonzerten. Dann kommt der italienische Pianist Vincenco Maltempo mit Trouvaillen aus der Russischen Klaviermusik von Balakiriev, Glasunov und Kosenko. Danach habe ich hier berührend gute Schubert-Lieder über das Wandern von André Schuen, dem jungen Stern am Baritonhimmel, die ich Ihnen vorstellen möchte, er stammt aus den italienischen Dolomiten. Dann kommen wieder Spanier, das Casals-Quartett hat den ersten Teil seiner Gesamteinspielung aller Beethoven-Streichquartette vorgelegt – da werden wir ganz ausführlich hineinhören. Und zum Schluss gibt es noch einmal Spanier, Franzosen und Italiener gemeinsam: das Barockorchester Cappella Mediterranea mit einem Projekt, das Songs des katalanischen Liedermachers Joan Manuel Serrat mit Musik des spanischen Barock verbindet.
