AUTHOR-ARTIST: HORIZONS OF CONTEMPORARY ACADEMIC MUSICAL CREATIVITY

The art of the musician-artist the author of music is undoubtedly a unique phenomenon of world culture, which at all times excited the minds of researchers: philosophers, psychologists, musicologists. The very act of the music birth (and also the birth of a musical masterpiece) always seemed to be something mysterious, secret, even mystical, and remains such (despite the existing theories of the creative process) to this day even in the minds of the music creators themselves. The object of the research of this article is the creative universe of the contemporary artist-author of the academic tradition of the post-neoclassical era and the horizons of his play and art in the conditions of a new cultural reality: visible edges and hidden essential moments of the process of creating the world of music itself. The study of author-performing art as a process and the result of two different types of activity of one universal creative personality, the correlation of author assignment and author-performing initiative (freedom) as an artistic interpretation of one's own composition is one of the little-studied problematic issues. Paradoxical one as it may seem, was the author's play and interpretation of his own musical composition (or self-interpretation) that has never been the subject of special research in the philosophical, psychological, semiotic, and musicological perspective, especially from the perspective of a reflecting artist-author, which allows insisting on the prospects of this direction in the field of modern theory and aesthetics of music.
