The purpose of the proposed article is to determine the genre-stylistic and performance features of the works for wind instruments by Oleksandr Shchetynskyi. The research methodology is based on the use of the following methods: textual, source and hermeneutical – in the study of musicological and sheet music sources on the chosen topic; analytical – to determine the genre-stylistic and performance features of the analysed compositions; the method of personalisation (scientific biography) – to outline the composer’s contribution to the works for wind instruments; interviews – during direct communication with the author. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the generalisation of significant factual material concerning the work of O. Shchetynskyi and the updating of notographic material analysed for the first time. Conclusions. The compositions for wind instruments and O. Shchetynskyi’s work in general reflect the leading trends in the development of Ukrainian music of the late 20th and early 21st centuries in the context of postmodernism and post-avant-garde as the two most traditionally established concepts for understanding modern artistic processes. On the basis of the analytical characteristics of individual works with the participation of wind instrument by O. Shchetynskyi, their immanent features were determined, such as the use of modern composition techniques (free atonality, dodecaphony, quarter-tones, seriality, and multiseries), which expand the range of performance and expressive possibilities of these instruments (use of heterogeneous glissando and vibrato, raised and lowered quarter tones, multiphonic sounds, specific articulation techniques), a special attitude to sound as a self-sufficient value, which is manifested in a thourough sound elaboration of any idea and the most delicate attitude to rhythm, timbre, dynamics, and articulation.
Key words: works for wind instruments, O. Shchetynskyi, Ukrainian music.
