MUSICAL TERMINOLOGY: INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM
The article deals with the main problems of the modern state and prospects of the study of musical terminology. It is noted that, unlike other Sciences (Humanities, and technical), musicology does not have a sufficiently developed system of learning musical terms. This is due to the unique properties of musical vocabulary, which significantly complicates the work of a researcher who is familiar with the General properties of terms. Therefore, special studies on musical terminology, appeared relatively recently. From foreign scientists selected H.G. Eggebrecht, T. Leysiye, J.K. Mikhailov, from russian – A. Nazaikinsky, E. Trembovelsky, N. Korykhalova. Because dictionaries are one of the main sources of the study of musical terminology, classification of music references to three groups: 1) dictionaries of General application (for a wide range of readers); 2) dictionaries polypetalae (for users who have basic musical training); 3) special dictionaries, where the selection of terms in the dictionary narrows the scope of the profession of musician and implies a high level of professional training. A special place in this classification is given to musical encyclopedias. The analysis allows to assert that the modern musical system has gone a long way of development and requires careful attention and study.
