Abstract

Vladimir Tarnopolski’s compositional technique is based on the individual detailed pitch structures, which are interpreted as a one sound. The composer calls such structures “harmonytimbres.” We can consider them not only from the point of view of timbre character, but also analyze their pitch structure, which develops according to the laws of harmony. The article is devoted to the harmonic side of harmonytimbre’s structures in Tarnopolski’s music on the example of his works from different years: “Cassandra” (1991), “Foucault’s Pendulum” (2004), “Be@thoven. Invokation” (2017). As a result of the analysis, the main methods of working with harmonytimbres are identified and the regularities of constructing pitch structures in Tarnopolski’s music are formulated.
