Music (from Greek - muse) is a kind of art, the artistic material of which is sound, organized in a special way in time. The art of music is said to be "the most sensuous of the arts". Poetry or painting, for example, cannot be perceived at the level of physiological reactions, music can not only be perceived, but also reproduced without turning on the intellect, and the horizon of such listening and playing music is quite wide (meditative practice of turning off rational thinking through certain tunes, dancing in a disco, singing patients with speech disorders and disorders of the logical apparatus). The neurophysiological effects of music have long been used in medicine. At the same time, according to a tradition dating back to ancient times, music is recognized as the most generalized, abstract art - the artistic equivalent of philosophy and mathematics. Renaissance Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa saw music as a tool for creating the universe. Features of the perception of music depend on many factors, such as place and time.

MUSICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA
encyclopedias, scientific reference publications containing a systematic set of information covering all areas of musical culture. M.'s appearance e. belongs to the 18th century. and is associated with the spread by that time of music not only in the privileged part of society, but also in the democratic circles of the population, the increased interest in musical art, the growth of professional musical education, and the development of musical science. M.'s creation e. was prepared by many musical and theoretical treatises that appeared in the Middle Ages and contained separate musical and lexicographic information, as well as special musical and lexicographic works, originally devoted to certain areas of musical art: music theory, musical instruments, musical terminology, biographies of musicians, etc. One one of the first works of this kind is the musical-terminological dictionary of the Franco-Flemish theorist and composer J. Tinktoris ("Terminorum musicae diffinitorium", Treviso, 1475). Only several centuries later, on the basis of a generalization of information that has been used in musical practice and theory, as well as contained in previously published musical dictionaries, are M. e. The selection in them of musical phenomena of the present and past, the coverage of historical events and facts, their aesthetic assessment - all this is determined by the achievements of musicology of a given historical era and reflects its ideological and scientific level.
First M. e. was published in 1732 in Germany under the title "Musical Lexicon, or Musical Library" ("Musicalisches Lexikon, oder musikalische Bibliothek", Lpz., 1732) by I. G. Walter. The first multi-volume "Encyclopedia of all musical science, or the Universal Dictionary of Music" was published there since 1835 ("Encyclopadie der gesammten musikalischen Wissenschaften, oder Universal-Lexikon der Tonkunst", Bd 1-6, Stuttg., 1835-38, Bd 7, Suppl ., Stuttg., 1840-42) by G. Schilling.
The work of G. Mendel "Musical Conversational Dictionary. Encyclopedia of the entire musical science ..." ("Musikalisches Conversations-Lexikon. Eine Encyklopadie der gesammten musikalischen Wissenschaften ...", Bd 1-11, B., 1870-79, Bd 12- Erganzungsband, B., 1883), who played a progressive role in the development of musical lexicography, marked the beginning of the modern stage in the development of M. e. Among the most significant modern M. e. "Musical Dictionary" ("Musik-Lexikon", Lpz., 1882) by H. Riemann (one of the most popular publications of this kind; repeatedly revised and supplemented, withstood numerous reprints; the last - vol. 1-3 in 1959-67, additional volume . in 1972), "Music in its past and present. General Encyclopedia" ("Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart. Allgemeine Enzyclopadie", Bd 1-14, Kassel - Basel, 1949-68, additional volumes are being published) F. Blume ( Germany); "Dictionary of music and musicians" ("Grove's Dictionary of music and musicians", v. 1-4, L. - N. Y., 1879-90; 5 ed., v. 1-10, L. - N. Y., 1954- 61) edited by E. Blom (England); "Musical Encyclopedia" ("Encyclopedie de la musique", v. 1-3, P., 1958-61) (France); "Musical Encyclopedia" ("Enciclopedia della musica", v. 1-4, Mil., 1963-64) ed. Ricordi (Italy); "General Musical Encyclopedia" ("Algemene muziekencyclopedie", dl 1-6, Antw. - Amst., 1957-63) (Netherlands); "The International cyclopedia of music and musicians", N. Y., 1939, 9 ed., N. Y., 1964) O. Thompson (USA); "Musical Encyclopedia" ("Muzicka Encikiopedija", sv. 1-2, Zagreb, 1958-63, 2nd ed., sv. 1, 1971) (Yugoslavia).
In Russia, the first experiments in creating musical encyclopedic reference books date back to the 19th century: L. A. Snegirev "The Manual Musical Book" (St. Petersburg, 1837, 2nd ed., vols. 1-2, St. Petersburg, 1840) and P. D. Perepelitsyn "Musical Dictionary. Encyclopedic Reference Collection" (M., 1884). In 1901-04, in Moscow, H. Riemann's "Musical Dictionary", edited by Yu. D. Engel, was published as a separate issue in Russian translation, supplemented by numerous articles on Russian musical culture (personality, musical terminology, etc.). In 1966, the 2nd edition of the corrected and supplemented "Encyclopedic Musical Dictionary" by B.S. musical terms in foreign languages (over 3 thousand). In 1973, the 1st volume of the five-volume "Musical Encyclopedia" was published. This is the first Soviet scientific and reference publication on music of considerable volume; it aims to provide basic information on the leading branches of musical science and practice, to show the richness and progressive role of the Russian classical heritage, to present the most important phenomena of the musical culture of the peoples of the USSR and other socialist countries, to highlight the struggle of trends in contemporary foreign art, and also to characterize musical culture peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America.

For those who study at a music school, the book “Handbook of Musical Literacy and Solfeggio” by T. Vakhromeev will be simply necessary. The guide contains the basic rules for musical literacy, as well as tables with examples in all keys and brief practical advice. Designed for students of music schools and studios. The directory can also be used by parents who want to help their children in passing musical literacy and solfeggio.
Rock music lovers will be interested in the book "Rock Encyclopedia" by S. Kastalsky, which is made in the best traditions of this extremely rare genre and incorporates not only the color of world rock, but also little-known, rare and stylistically diverse bands. With a light heart, one could call this rock encyclopedia a “reissue”, and burn everything with a clear fire, but that would be a real lie: it differs from the very first Rock Encyclopedia “Peers” like heaven from earth. And it differs from the one released in 1997 too - and it's not because of more than a hundred new bands that didn't exist five years ago, and not even in updated and supplemented discographies. By and large, information today is lying underfoot, and only the lazy will not bend down and pick it up.

Primary attention is paid to the national musical culture. The largest essays are devoted to the musical culture of individual regions, countries and peoples. Biographical entries about figures of musical culture make up the majority of entries in the Dictionary. These are articles about composers, performers (vocalists, instrumentalists, conductors), musicologists, masters of musical instruments. Various musical institutions and organizations (theaters, performing groups, educational institutions, societies, concert organizations) are briefly covered in reference articles. A significant series of articles in the Dictionary is devoted to theoretical concepts. It covers articles on fundamental issues of music theory, aesthetics, acoustics, performance issues, as well as articles on musical styles and genres. Special reference articles are devoted to musical instruments and singing voices. Separate articles are supplied with musical examples and illustrations. Information of an actual nature was brought up to 1988 (in some cases - up to 1989).
Work on the Dictionary began in 1981 and continued for about 10 years. During this time, new trends in world development have emerged, major changes have taken place in the socio-political, economic, and cultural life of the USSR and the countries of Eastern Europe. They also touched upon the art of music - first of all, the assessment of the creative contribution of some figures of the musical culture of the past and present, the diverse directions of music of the 20th century, the comprehension of a number of important concepts and categories of musical history, theory, and aesthetics. The team of authors and editors of the Dictionary - to the best of their ability - sought to ensure that these changes were reflected on the pages of the book. The reader will find the changes that have taken place during the preparation of the Dictionary for publication at the end of the book.
Teachers of higher and secondary musical educational institutions, employees of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Art History, research institutes of the USSR Academy of Sciences and republican academies took part in the work on compiling the Dictionary. The list of authors is also given at the end of the volume.
