Abstract

The prevailing empirical and dogmatic approach in the field of repertory policy in the contemporary performing practice of musicians and the lack of scientifically developed recommendations for the selection of musical material require the definition of the concepts of psychological aspect in preparation for the competitive appearances. The essential factor is the selection of a competitive repertoire, which depends both on the requirements of the competition and on the desire to carry out a work that is close in spirit. Recently the self-affirmation of a musician, participating in competitive tests, becomes all the more urgent. The works, that reveal the performing individuality of the contestant, can serve as a condition for the formation of a psychological motive for this activity. In addition, the repertoire serves as a means to form professional qualities of the personality; so when selecting a work, it is necessary to consider the performer’s temperament, character and specific features. The article examines the criteria for selecting a competitive repertoire, its influence on the mental processes of modeling the musician’s attitude to reality in intonated sonic images.
