In this aspect this work explores conceptual bases of solo kind of music-making, which in summary - logical - terms are defined as the relevant principles of the organization and the structural features of soloist musician’s activity. Self-sufficient status of the creative «I» of singer-musician, his centrality in the entire musical process, as well as his guiding function of choice of these or those elements of their deployment, and the formation of a holistic process of intonation are distinguished as the conceptual foundations.
