Abstract

The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of the category of polystylistics on the basis of musicological research and to characterize the related concepts that correspond to the manifestations of stylistic interactions. The methodology is determined by the works of musicological and cultural direction, where attention is paid to the problems of style, polystylistics, encyclopedic sources, which reveal the essence of the concept of polystylistics and dissertation studies on the issues of polystylistics in music and art culture. The scientific novelty lies in the scientific understanding of polystylistics in music; in the systematization of the results of studies of the process of stylistic interactions; in explaining the principles of defining polystylistics and the related concepts. Conclusions. Polystylistics as a phenomenon of contemporary art and as a category of musicology, from its origin to the present time, has received new scientific interpretations. The combination of styles, which became the basis for the modern trend - postmodernism, reveals a large number of views on this phenomenon, which has led to both varieties of manifestations and a variety of interpretations of the term. The first theoretical substantiation of the concept of polystylistics was given in the report "Polystylistic Tendencies in Contemporary Music" by A. Schnittke. The definition of "polystylistics," which emerged in A. Schnittke's research, was formed into a more stable form in the definitions of the following generations of art critics and contemporaries, which brought this phenomenon to the level of the musicological category. A number of the related concepts are involved in the scientific space; they reveal style interactions in different ways, but to a certain extent correspond to the category of polystylistics. The work which was done to arrange the definitions of polystylistics and diverse terminology will be able to enrich scientists' views on the problems of polystylistics and reveal the essence of the phenomenon from different points of view.
