Music and Time Annotation << Back Sonata for Domra and Bayan by Ekaterina Anisimova. Integration of Academism and Innovation D.S. Dmitrienko, N.L. Dmitrienko The article is devoted to the performing analysis of the Sonata for domra and bayan by the Moscow composer Ekaterina Valerievna Anisimova (b. 1972). This is an important milestone in the formation of an original academic chamber repertoire for Russian folk instruments. According to the musical language – atonal music. The uniqueness of the Sonata in the field of performing on folk instruments is confirmed by the recognition of the international community. The composition is saturated with modern techniques of compositional writing, while it has an undoubted indicator of the continuity of the academic tradition. The principle of comparison of figurativethematic spheres is realized to the state of antagonism. The increase in dynamic coupling is due to the use of tessitural and textured features of the sound of two dissimilar instruments. The achieved goal is their organic timbre fusion. Comprehension of the concert and pedagogical experience of performing this work in the field of performing on folk instruments has a positive effect on the formation of basic professional and educational competencies, expands professional horizons, educates creative initiative.
