Suite from the ballet The Marriage of Balzaminov by V. A. Gavrilin: Genre perspective and accents of musical drama
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of local inconsistencies in the dramatic strategies of the director of the TV ballet The Marriage of Balzaminov A. A. Belinsky and the author of the music V. A. Gavrilin. It is emphasized that the outline of the musical development of ballet tends to a greater extent to the genre model of lyrical comedy, while the director’s decision is aimed at forming the image of a sitcom. The composer’s idea, connected with the consistent disclosure of the psychological states of the protagonist, found its full expression in the author’s version of the suite from the ballet, which premiered in 1990. The structure of the suite emphasizes its differences from the musical drama of the TV version of The Marriage of Balzaminov, and puts the music itself (taking into account the strengthening of the lyrical beginning) in a different genre perspective.
