Music and Time Annotation << Back Romantic of our time. Roman Ledenev E.N. Denisova The article is devoted to the work of a modern composer, a representative of the Moscow school of composition. Roman Ledenev is a composer whose music has multiple intersections with the neo-romantic style in contemporary art. At the same time, the main genre, in which the brightest aspects of the composer's artistic personality are most fully revealed, is an instrumental concert. It was here that the lyric-romantic properties of the author’s creative thinking were reflected. The Concert is the closest to the romantic archetype of the genre – a romance for piano and orchestra (op. 29, 1981). On the example of this score, the article traces the way the composer translates romantic aesthetics – at the level of genre, dramaturgy, shaping, the principles of thematic development, and means of musical language. Based on the analysis of the musical text, it is concluded that in the work of Roman Ledenev, individual facets of the 19th century romantic aesthetics were adapted in a very special way and the most important components of musical romanticism turned out to be much more durable, more viable than the actual romantic trend in art. Keywords: Roman Ledenev, neo-romanticism, Concert – a romance for piano and orchestra, genre archetypes, musical drama. Pp. 52-57.
