Abstract:
Christoph Flamm has released a fundamental scholarly work «Russian Composer
Nikolai Medtner. Research and materials» in Berlin in 1995. Until now this is the best
foreign book on Medtner.
In the present paper the author is presenting Medtner’s book «The Muse and
the Fashion» putting it into the broad context of esthetical ideas from early antique
philosophers to German idealists. The scope of issues presented is very broad:
Medtner’s literary writing, the story of «The Muse and the Fashion»’s creation
as well as putting together Medtner’s literary and musical works. The narration
is very intense and exceptional especially having in mind the deficiencies of Russian
musicological research on Medtner. The translation is made in collaboration with
the author and includes some corrections as compared with the first publication where
some details need to be reconsidered.
Keywords:
N.K. Medtner, «The Muse and the Fashion», Russian musical esthetics of the XXth century.

Musical prodigies: «fakes» and «realities»
// Scientific notes of the Gnesins Russian Academy of Music.
2014. № 3.
P. 55-73.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=66089
Abstract:
Musical prodigies as a phenomenon are known during several centuries while children
appearing on concert stage are being used as a commercial product. There exists
a supposition that such exploitation since early age could be the reason for their «burning
out» when their talent fades away leading to various psychological traumas. The author
argues that although such views are basically convincing it’s possible to offer another
hypothesis based on psychological similarity of prodigies and so called «idiots-savants»,
autistic children and teenagers with extraordinary abilities. The author is offering
various arguments to support her idea: according to the paper’s discourse «burned out»
prodigies who failed to develop into outstanding musicians could share with idiots-savants autistic predisposition based on communication deficiencies connected in the
to expressive ear for music. Expressive ear can be considered «communication centre»
of musical talent referring to non-notational features of music.
Keywords:
wunderkind, absolute pitch, savant, autism, expressive ear for music.
