Bandura Technique in the System of Art Process

Abstract

Bandura’s performance, аs an important component in modern art space, is at the stage of theoretical understanding and search for mechanisms for practical implementation of technical, motor and performance tools to achieve artistic perfection in a wide range of multi-genre and diverse repertoire. The purpose of the research is to theoretically analyze the problems of bandura technique formation in the practical aspect of mastering and applying various performing techniques in artistic interpretation. The research methodology lies in a systematic approach. It is substantiated that the performance movements of a bandura player function in the system of the artistic process. The application of the comparative-analytical approach. The scientific novelty of the research is in the fact that mastering the modern bandura is so difficult that the specifics of this instrument require: a very fine, filigree differentiation in the functioning of the muscles; a special approach to sound production in achieving the ideal bandura sound; extensive use of an arsenal of modern sonorous and colouristic means, the latest techniques of performance, etc. The mechanisms of interaction of musical thinking, imagination, auditory control, the establishment of auditory-motor connections, and contact with the string for the realization of a sound ideal of a work context are considered. The main approaches in the formation of the basic elements of virtuosity – “small” technology and “large” technology are analyzed. The focus is on research on the analysis of the psychology of musical thinking, physiology of performance movement, applicative principles and the development of special exercises that meet the characteristics of sound production in the interpretation of modern bandura repertoire. Conclusions. It has been found that the contact with the bandura string varies depending on the nature of the music, tempo, dynamics and texture. The specifics of the interdependence of the choice expediency of the performance technique and the quality of the sound result are revealed. It is determined that the performance movement, due to the objective features of the bandura, is a process aimed at achieving the sound goal. It has been found that in the performance process, the artistic component and artistic and motor realization occur simultaneously, mutually conditioning and reinforcing each other, resulting in a holistic artistic phenomenon.
