Abstract
The concertmaster art of a pianist as a professional form of musical creativity is a rather young phenomenon and is currently developing intensively. The process of its formation is influenced by many factors: the development of keyboard instruments, the intensification of concert and music-theatre activities, the opening of specialized departments and chairs in higher and secondary educational institutions, scientific and methodological awareness of the specifics of concertmaster work, etc. In particular, in China, with its more than a hundred-year history of piano performance and pedagogy, concertmastering has only begun to develop in the last twenty years. The relevance of the article lies in the urgent need to generalize the available information about this type of musical creativity in China, with which Russia has established strong cultural and educational ties in recent years. The purpose of the article is to analyze the state of practice and pedagogy of the concertmaster art in China at the present stage. The article discusses the formation of accompanist activity in the PRC, the features of introducing the profile discipline into the curricula of Chinese universities, analyzes the problems arising in this regard and suggests ways to solve them. The research materials will be especially useful for Chinese and Russian teachers of concertmaster art: for Chinese colleagues to understand the goals and objectives of teaching piano students this type of activity, for Russian teachers of Chinese piano students to understand the level of their training and to form an appropriate learning strategy.
