Abstract
The article is devoted to the piano works of Nikolay Savelyevich Berestov, one of the most famous composers of Yakutia, Honoured Artist of the Russian Federation and Yakutia, whose compositional heritage is performed outside of Yakutia and Russia. He is the author of numerous works in different genres of vocal and instrumental music, innovatively implementing in his compositions the traditions of national folklore. The article reveals characteristic features of the composer's style — the interaction of intonation vocabulary of national folklore and European writing technique, the adherence to the program, the consistent definition of technical and figurative- emotional tasks of plots and dramaturgy. The most striking works from various cycles — pieces, fugues as well as the "Northern Landscapes" triptych — are examined in more detail.
