  • Sources of Inspiration in Selected Piano Works By
    SOURCES OF INSPIRATION IN SELECTED PIANO WORKS BY SERGEI SLONIMSKY D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yulia Kozlova, B.M., M.A. ****** The Ohio State University 2005 Document Committee: Approved by: Professor Steven M. Glaser, Adviser Dr. Kenneth T. Williams _________________________ Dr. R. J. David Frego Adviser Graduate Program in Music ABSTRACT Sergei Slonimsky is an important composer, without whom Russian music would be incomplete and less controversial. It is not easy to find composers who, with the same success, utilize virtually every existing classical and modern music genre in their compositions. His output covers opera, symphony, ballet, oratorio, and sonata. He is the author of numerous chamber compositions, music for folk instruments, and teaching pieces for children. His vividly imaginative compositions show a brilliant composer’s mastery. Slonimsky draws on many historical eras and cultural epochs: Antiquity, Middle Ages and Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism, and Romanticism. His music consists of a variety of images that contain an abundance of artistic information. However, most of Sergei Slonimsky’s works are unpublished and rarely performed in the United States. Included in the document is a biographical background of the composer as well as a description of his compositional style and accomplishments. The document will focus on the composer’s piano works and the extra-musical stimuli that inspired these compositions. The main emphasis of investigation will be related to the works inspired by music’s sister arts – painting and sculpture (the suite Three Graces and Passing-by Beauty).
