Classical music performance training: listening points and musical crystallization

Abstract

Within the framework of this article, the mechanism of teaching classical music performance is investigated, the key points to which the teacher should pay attention to the student in order to ensure the academic correctness of training and the most effective impact on the listener of the performer are determined. The author places special emphasis on the listening point and musical crystallization. "Topographically" and emotionally, the listening point is partial and exclusive to everything else, almost anti-musical. However, the intensity of this listening is second to none: there is a unique connection between a singer, a conductor who is so admired, a soloist, listening to the audience and music that has a great impact on the viewer. The author also formulates the concept of crystallization, when various structural elements of a musical work "crystallize" its quintessence.
