Effective Development

the subject of research – modern academic music of the 20th century is a special kind of art, the effective development of which by students of art departments and universities requires appropriate methods. The purpose of the work is to consider problematic teaching methods that ensure the effective mastery of complex artistic material by university students who do not have sympathy for 20th century music. To verify the effectiveness of the application of problem learning techniques when students mastered avantgarde music, a pedagogical experiment was conducted to introduce problem problems, the case method and the design method into the process of mastering musical and historical disciplines. The study carried out a theoretical justification and introduced into creative practice the methods considered, which made it possible to involve the student in the development of discipline in the process of creative activity, which significantly increases the level of cognitive activity and contributes to the formation of students; to solve the problem of modern musical skill, students of the musical and pedagogical profile of education were presented with problem problems, and the task requiring brainstorming – to practically “guess” the alleged image of the author – had the necessary didactic effect. Methodological recommendations related to the use of problematic methods in music education are formulated.

Introduction. E. Villa Lobos (1887–1957) is a classic the 20th century music. For Ukrainian musicology, the piano legacy of E. Villa-Lobos is relevant in terms of substantiating the innovation of the composer’s thinking in world creative practice at the beginning of the 20th century. In particular, the performers of the piano suite “Dolls” are faced with the problem of understanding the content of sonor-textural music. Оbjectives. To identify the distinctive features of E. Villa-Lobos’ use of elements of the sonority,which are based on the synthesis with Brazilian folk melos (on the example of the analysis of the piano suite “Dolls”). The subject. The piano suite (“Dolls”) (1918) as an example of the composer’s early creative style, which embodies the principles of sonorism typical for impressionist aesthetics. Theoretical Background. The novelty of the artistic tasks set by E. Villa-Lobos to the performers of his music in the early period of his creative activity required the study of the fundamental works of Yu. Kholopov, V. Tsenova, V. Kholopova, in which the meaning of the concepts “sonority”, “harmonic colouristics” and “texture”. Analysis of recent publications on the topic. The master’s work by A. Sotnikova (2010) raises questions on the formation of professional Brazilian music, the author focuses on the analysis of the piano composition of the composer. In her article V. Fedotova (2016) in the article examined the distinctive principles of the work of the Brazilian composer, in particular the specifics of his piano compositions. Results and Discussion. Music of the 20th century became a reflection of new artistic tasks that required adequate means of expression, and one of such means was sonoristics. It was this type of writing that E. Villa-Lobos addressed when writing the piano suite “Dolls” (1918). In the composer’s writing of E. Villa-Lobos there is sonoristics, harmonic colouristics, developed texture, due to which nationally coloured sound images are created. This confirms not only the stylistic, but also the comparative-interpretative analysis of the suite. Conclusions. The piano suite “Dolls” embodies the innovative interpretation of the instrument in the early 20th century. The theoretical ideas about the colouristics functions of the chord in its interconnections with the piano texture, timbre, and metro rhythm are systematized. A functional analysis of the piano pieces by Villa-Lobos from the early “Dolls” suite combined the new European style and writing techniques (such as colouring, sonoristics) with the national Brazilian melos reflecting the true spirit and worldview of Brazilians.

The 19Th Century

Levantine immigration to Chile started during the last quarter of the 19th century. This immigration, almost exclusively male at the outset, changed at the beginning of the 20th century when women started following their fathers, brothers, and husbands to the New World. Defining the role and status of the Arab woman within her community in Chile has never before been tackled in a detailed study. This article attempts to broach the subject by looking at Arabic newspapers published in Chile between 1912 and the end of the 1920s. A thematic analysis of articles dealing with the question of women or written by women, appearing in publications such as Al-Murshid, Asch-Schabibat, Al-Watan, and Oriente, will be discussed.

Planning Institutions

The authors, basing on a critical analysis of the experience of planning during the 20th century in a number of countries of Europe and Asia, and also on the lessons from the economics of "real socialism", set out to substantiate their conclusions on the advisability of "reloading" this institution. The aim is to create planning mechanisms, suited to the new economy, that incorporate forecasting, projections, direct and indirect selective regulation and so forth into integral programs of economic development and that set a vector of development for particular limited spheres of what remains on the whole a market economy. New planning institutions presuppose a supersession of the forms of bureaucratic centralism and a reliance on network forms of organization of the subject and process of planning.

The article provides a comparative analysis of the influence of L.N. Tolstoy and I.I. Sergiev (John of Kronstadt) on the formation of personal worldview in Russian society. The analysis is based on the testimonies of the contemporaries and the previously not reissued publication of “Novy Put” (“New Way”) journal on the subject. In the context of the declared problematics, special attention is paid to the question of transformation of religious consciousness in the course of the personality formation in relation to the period under consideration (the beginning of the 20th century). The author reveals and analyzes the main components of the life stand of Tolstoy and Father John of Kronstadt in the context of their influence on contemporaries. The results of the study allow to reveal the following antitheses that characterize Tolstoy and John of Kronstadt, respectively: doubt - faith, search for oneself – following the once chosen path, preaching of non-resistance as part of the philosophy of not-doing (not doing evil) – preaching of active upholding of faith (doing good), “simple living” – real life with and for common people.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the concept of literary romanticism. The research aims at a refinement of the “romanticism” concept in relation to the history of the literary process. The main research methods include conceptual analysis, textual analysis, comparative historical research. The author analyzes the semantic genesis of the term “romanticism”, various interpretations of the concept, compares the definitions of different periods and cultures. The main results of the study are as follows. The history of the term “romanticism” shows a change in a number of definitions for the same concept in relation to the same literary phenomena. By the end of the 20th century, realizing the existence of significant contradictions in the content of the term “romanticism”, researchers often come to abandon it. At the same time, the steady use of the term “romanticism” testifies to the subject-conceptual component that exists in it, which does not lose its relevance, but just needs a theoretical refinement. Conclusion: one have to revise an approach to romanticism as a theoretical concept, based on the change in the concept of an individual in Europe at the end of the 18th century. It is the newly discovered freedom of an individual predetermines the rethinking for the image of the author as a creator and determines the artistic features of literary romanticism.

The mid-20th century consensus regarding Hume’s critique of reported miracles has broken down dramatically in recent years thanks to the application of probabilistic analysis to the issue and the rediscovery of its history. Progress from this point forward is likely to be made along one or more of three fronts. There is wide room for interdisciplinary collaboration, work that will bring together scholars with expertise in religion, psychology, philosophy, and empirical science. There is a great deal of work still to be done in formal analysis, making use of the tools of modern probability theory to model questions about testimony and inference. And the recovery and study of earlier works on the subject—works that should never have been forgotten—can significantly enrich our understanding of the underlying issues.

By applying the concept of natural science to the study of music, on the one hand, we can understand the structure of music macroscopically, on the other, we can reflect on the history of music to a certain extent. Throughout the history of western music, from the classical period to the 20th century, music seems to have gone from order to disorder, but it is still orderly if analyzed carefully. Using the concept of complex information systems can give a good answer in the essence.

The Mexican diplomat Alfonso Reyes (1889––1959) was notable in the cultural panorama of Spanish America in the first half of the 20th century for his acquaintance with classical rhetoric, a discipline rarely studied at that time in that part of the world. This article distinguishes four aspects of rhetoric throughout Reyes' oeuvre: (i) a vulgar sense, (ii) an erudite sense, (iii) classical theories, (iv) and modern applications. In his early work, Reyes uses rhetoric in a pejorative and vulgar sense. Around the year 1940, Reyes starts to show a lively interest in rhetoric, opts definitively for an erudite sense of the term, and initiates the study of the classical art of persuasion. In his third phase, Reyes gains deeper knowledge of rhetoric, lectures on the subject, and explains his favorite orators andtheorists. Finally,his use of rhetoric reveals a commitment to the reality of Spanish America. Reyes' rhetoric is an "actualised" and "Americanised" version that shows the possibilities of the classical art of persuasion in Spanish American society.
