THE ORNAMENTAL PHENOMENON IN ACADEMIC AND FOLKLORIC MUSIC: HISTORIOGRAPHIC APPROACH

Abstract

The bibliographic sources, which, to a greater or lesser extent, show the value of the ornamental phonomenon come from different fields of research. We analyzed the ornament treated in musical literature. All the precious information contained in the researches devoted to material art, especially the traditional ones, has not been ignored, and it has helped us discover some aspects of the ornamentation of traditional instrumental melodies in violonistic interpretation. The consulted bibliography will allow us to elucidate the following problems of the ornamental phenomenon: origin, evolution in time, significance, content, place in the artistic entity, classification criteria and types of ornaments.
