THE PHENOMENON OF ARTISTIC INTEGRITY IN THE INSTRUMENTAL SUITE

Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to comprehend the phenomenon of artistic integrity in a musical work. It is noted that the category of integrity implies the internal completeness of a work, ensuring its fullness and seman- tic indivisibility as an aesthetic object in which nothing is accidental; it requires the organic unity of all its components, interconnected and harmoniously combined to reveal the artistic idea The aim of the article is to identify the factors con- tributing to the creation of artistic integrity in a musical work, one of which is the suite principle. From this perspective, the instrumental suite is analyzed as a form with a long-standing tradition of formation and development, directly related to the sphere of dance. The methodological basis of the research is a comprehensive approach that combines historical- genetic, musicological-historical, and general cultural methods, which make it possible to gain a deeper understanding of the category of integrity using the example of the instrumental suite. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the category of integrity is examined in its projection onto the genre of the instrumental suite. Conclusions. As one of the types of cyclic form in instrumental music, the suite is regarded as a coherent phenomenon, considering the fact that each of its parts is self-sufficient and important in terms of the overall dramaturgy of the cycle. Attention is drawn to the unity of the cycle in its multiplicity, which makes it possible to assert that contrast and unity are the defining principles underlying the genre. It is noted that, unlike cyclic forms in which all parts are linked by continuous development, integ- rity in the suite is achieved through a common idea, contrast, and alternation rather than thematic unity or sequential unfolding.
