Abstract

The purpose of this study is to trace metaphysical - supraphysical indicators of thinking in the parallels of expressive features that attest to belonging to epochally correlated layers of creativity of composers and performers, although they are in no way conditioned by personal contacts or communication with communities that could influence the creator-musician. The research methodology is determined by the intonational approach of B. Asafiev’s school in Ukraine with emphasis on its comparative and hermeneutic components, as found in the works of D. Androsova, O. Kozarenko, I. Kotlyarevskyi, I. Liashenko, Liu Bintsyan, O. Markova, O. Muravska, O. Roshchenko, O. Sokolova. The following methods are also of special use: art historical-analytical, descriptive-historical, cultural-regional, religious studies, and biographical-historical. The scientific novelty of the work is manifested: in the independent interpretation of the concept of parallel discoveries as the metaphysics of personal-creative synchronisations ("metaphysics of historical proximity"), in the originality of the perspective of the analysis of works and artifacts, as well as in the fact that for the first time in this perspective the parallels of creative discoveries of the 1960s are presented, verist features in F. Chopin's Songs, the invention of dodecaphony in the 20th century and other significant factors in the creative institutions of musical history. Conclusions. Tracing expressive analogies in the works of masters who belonged to the same epochal stratum of the historical evolution of music, and who, by the conditions of their existence, had no personal or creative-informational contacts, shows that, as a result of their creativity, they came to a commonality of expressive typologies at the level of style, genre, ideological, and creative features. This applies to the features of realism-verism in Chopin's Songs and some other works, reactionary to the ideas of "fathers and children" of the nineteenth-century Sixties, etc., which together testify to the "metaphysics of historical proximity", understood as personal and creative synchronicity produced by metaphysically superphysically realised contact with the information field produced by the epochal mentality of mankind.Key words: metaphysics of history, metaphysics of personal-creative synchronisation, musical expressiveness, style in music, style of the era, musical genre
