ABOUT “FOREIGN” TEXTS IN THE BALLET SCORES OF TCHAIKOVSKY
Abstract
The article is devoted to the consideration of intertextual interactions in the ballets of P. Tchaikovsky on the material of borrowed elements (plug-in episodes, quotations, etc.) that were included in the author’s scores of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker as a result of M. Petipa’s dramatic ideas.
The study of the issues of intertextual interaction is carried out along the lines of the historical-typological and intertextual research method.
The main types of interaction are distinguished: direct external intervention (in particular, corrections and additions in the process of R. Drigo’s editorial work under M. Petipa’s director’s plan), the completion of cadences (harp solo by A. Zabel), citation (use of borrowed themes in The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker), stylization (working with the music of another composer as with the model). The forms of stylistic conjugation that reveal themselves indirectly, including those reflected in the choreographic text, are especially considered.
The conclusion is drawn about the special artistic significance of intertextual interactions, which allow not only to build a multi-level metaphorical “space” for a musical performance, but also to feel deeper the richness of the spheres of mutual influence of music and ballet art, to realize the power of the impact of the choreographic design.
