Music and Time Annotation << Back In Search of a New Harmony: Towards an Individual Style in the Instrumental Works of Composer Pyotr Dyatlov O.A. Krishtalyuk This article is devoted to the work of the young composer and pianist Pyotr Diatlov, whose compositions are increasingly attracting the attention of performers and musicologists interested in contemporary academic music. His works can be heard at various contemporary music festivals, and the composer himself was a prize-winner more than once. This article examines the formation of the composer’s individual style on the example of his two works: Piece for Piano, String Orchestra and Timpani (2019) and Piano Quartet (2018). Based on the analysis of the compositions and the musical language, it is concluded that the composer strives to find a particular dramaturgical and linguistic model, reflecting his understanding of the concept of new harmony as a deeply individual synthesis of tradition and innovation, recognisable semantic elements and their new interpretation. Keywords: harmony, style, drama, composition, ostinato, series, neo-romanticism. Pp. 39-43.
