The article describes the art of a musician-performer, which is based on the ability to interpret a musical composition as close as possible to his idea, his true concept and dramaturgy. Among the most important sources of interpretation, first of all, the musical text of the composition is highlighted, which opens the inquiring musician through a detailed study of all the author’s remarks, touches, nuances (if any) of the true plan. Also a means of comprehending the contents of the composition are the words of the composer written in some way, for example, in an epigraph to a musical composition, in a diary, letter or interview. One of the main components in comprehending the essence of the composition is the interpretation of the author (if any), then the reference performance is often just the author. Some examples from the history of music can be cited as examples: F. Chopin, F. Liszt, S. Rachmaninov or S. Prokofiev in pianistic art, N. Paganini, P. Sarasate, E. Izai or F. Kresler in violin art, P. Tchaikovsky, G. Mahler, I. Stravinsky in conducting art (unfortunately, the performance of music not all of the above musicians can now be heard in the sound recording). Let us turn to one of the brightest pages of chamber music of the 20th century – the Concert duet for violin and piano (Duo Concertant) by Igor Stravinsky as an example of work on the interpretation of the author’s intention.
