Historical stages of musical art development in the context of scientific and technical progress
Abstract
The purpose of the work is to define the historical milestones of scientific and technological progress and to identify the interrelationship of art, technique, and technology at various stages of world culture development. The research methodology is based on philosophical and aesthetic research on the evolution of artistic culture and the understanding of the musical-communicative process, which allows the summing up and substantiating of the conclusions of the outlined issues. The scientific novelty of the work consists in gradually highlighting the historical stages of the scientific and technical revolution, demonstrating its direct influence on the development of musical art from the first stages of its development to the present day. It has been determined that in each historical formation, transformational processes are closely related to scientific and technical progress, which today are the main driving force of the musical and technical industry. Conclusions. The first stage is marked by the emergence of writing, which destroyed the monopoly of a small number of people on knowledge. At this stage, musical notation appears, with the help of which the information related to music is broadcasted. In the second stage, the invention of the printing press becomes a means of rapid dissemination of information, including musical information, through sheet music printing. The third stage is associated with the invention of mechanical sound recording and sound reproduction devices, as well as the introduction of electric current and analogue sound recording devices. In the fourth stage, because of modern technological achievements, the so-called phenomenon of "digital arts" is formed, which is characterised by interactivity, elitism, a new genre system, and innovative means of artistic expression. Modern artistic technologies, relying on the latest sound processors, computer software, and other digital innovations, help to expand the boundaries and create a new sound palette in music and concert practice, theatre performances, studio work, radio broadcasting, screen arts, and other areas of cultural and artistic life
