“What we need and should learn”: soviet musicologists at the mid-1920th on jazz
Abstract
The article familiarizes the reader with the first in Russia scholarly publication, dedicated to jazz — a collection of translated articles “Jazz-Band and Contemporary Music”, issued in 1926 by a department of Theory and history of music of the State Institute of Art History. Given the special place of this edition in domestic musicology, it looks important to analyze its concept. For example, the reasons why Soviet researchers addressed jazz, the aspects of their particular interest, the principles they elected the articles for publication, and the connections they set between jazz and actual problems of Soviet culture. It is also worth considering this edition within the context of other research projects carried on in the same period at the musical department of the Institute of Art History: it allows ascertaining its place in the musicological paradigm of the early Soviet epoch. Such perspectives are suggested in the given work.
