Título: The melodic dictation in the traditions of Russian music education
Autor: Dzhumanova, Lola
Resumen: [EN] In Russia solfeggio became an academic subject at the time of foundation of
Saint-Petersburg and Moscow conservatories. Coming from Western Europe,
in Russia solfeggio gained its own traditions of teaching. There were
established three main activities – vocal and intonation exercises, hearing
analysis and dictation. They were defined by the scientist of the ХХth century
– professor of Moscow Conservatory I.V. Sposobin.
It is a melodic dictation that became a comprehensive model for the
development of prospect musicians’ skills. The reason is in the combination
of various tasks, such as the ability to hear, realize, memorize and record a
relatively complete musical part based on a certain number of replays. Over
the years of evolution in the Russian teaching school the dictation obtained
logical representation, enabling to teach and perceive music, tonal and
atonal. The same dictation significantly differs in the Russian tradition from
its French analogue.
The report describes the evolution in the three-level system of music
education, comparing it to the traditions of other countries.
