Unknown romances by Vladimir Tsytovich: From unpublished manuscripts
Abstract
Vladimir Tsytovich's vocal works are few in number. This makes the discovery made by the author of the article in the composer's archive after his death all the more interesting. These are three manuscripts of romances that were presumably created during the pre-conservatory and conservatory periods: "Heavenly Clouds" with lyrics by M. Lermontov, ["Autumn"] with lyrics by M. Dudin, and "Wind" with lyrics by M. Isakovsky.
The article provides descriptions the manuscripts, analyzes the form, texture, and mode features of the works, and highlights the characteristic features of the vocal parts. All three romances belong to the lyric-landscape type. In them, the composer carefully elaborates on vocal and piano parts, harmoniously builds the forms. In conclusion, the place of the discovered romances in the vocal work of V. Tsytovich is determined.
