Prokofiev, Saint-Saëns, Bach and Gavot
Abstract
Among the tasks of modern art criticism is not only the opening of new horizons, but also the purification of oneself from rooted misconceptions and inaccuracies. The article is devoted to correcting one of these inaccuracies: the genre definition of one transcription by C. Saint-Saëns, which played a role in the formation of Prokofiev. It is shown that in this case there is confusion with the definition of the genre of dance, which arose through no fault of Prokofiev. The causes of the error, as well as some examples of the exact and inaccurate implementation of ancient dance genres in the work of composers of the 20th century, are considered.
