Abstract
The article is devoted to a significant date — the 75th anniversary of the birth of the famous
Bashkir composer Rim Khasanov, whose piano work has long remained outside the scope of
musicological analysis.
The composer's work in the field of piano music coincided with the time of changes in
the country's musical art, reflected in a new attitude to folklore. During these years, the composer's
thinking was shifting towards mastering deeper layers of folklore sources, which was
facilitated by the formation of a new view of the surrounding world, leading to a special approach
to the selection of means capable of adequately reflecting modern problems of being.
In addition, the XXth century opened up the aesthetics of jazz to the music of Europe and Asia,
as well as the inclusion of folklore material into the context of European and jazz traditions.
The process of penetrating innovative compositional means in the works of Bashkir composers
took place with due regard for national specifics. For the piano art of Bashkiria of the
second half of the XXth century, the interest in jazz stylistics was quite natural. This interest
was most clearly manifested in R. Khasanov's "Concertino for Piano and Orchestra", which
for the first time synthesized Bashkir intonation vocabulary and classical foundations of form
construction with specific features of jazz aesthetics. At the same time, the works of the 1970s –
80s expressed a desire to bring the musical language closer to the intonations of the human
voice. This trend was reflected in the piano cycle "Temperaments" by R. Khasanov.
The works created by the composer in the second half of the last century reflected the stylistic
tendencies of the era and were at the forefront of the development of Bashkir piano art
of those years.
