FROM THE CONTRACTORS
This book is a textbook on musical literature of the historical period that begins in the last decades of the 19th century. Such a textbook appears for the first time: the fifth issue ends, as you know, with the works of K. Debussy and M. Ravel.
The book includes the characteristics of various national music schools, which determined its overall structure. The first section gives a description of the general processes that have been implemented in their own way in the musical art of different countries and in the work of composers of different individuals. Each subsequent section consists of an overview of the musical culture of a given country, as well as a monographic section dedicated to the work of the most significant composers of this school. Only the section devoted to the work of I. Stravinsky differs in its structure: there is no introductory survey in it. And this is understandable: after all, having spent most of his life outside of Russia due to special circumstances, Stravinsky remained a Russian master and did not belong to any of the foreign schools. The decisive influence of his creative principles on almost all the leading musicians of our century does not allow Stravinsky to be removed from the general picture of the development of musical art in the 20th century. The inclusion of this monographic chapter in a textbook on foreign music literature is also due to the peculiarities of the curriculum at the school: by the time of studying foreign music of the 20th century, students are not at all familiar with either the personality or the music of I. Stravinsky. They will turn to this page of musical art only at the end of the fourth year, where only the first, Russian period of the composer's work is considered.

The attention of the compilers and authors of the textbook is focused both on showing the general musical and historical processes of the period under consideration, and on the analysis of the most outstanding works that have become classics of our century. In view of the exceptional complexity of the events of the musical art of the 20th century, their inconsistency, intersections, and their rapid change, the review chapters occupied a much larger place in this book than in previous issues. Nevertheless, in accordance with the methodological principles of the subject, the compilers tried to keep in the center of attention the analyzes of musical works, which in this case are designed to reveal the diversity of creative methods, ways of thinking, different stylistic solutions and the plurality of composing techniques of the masters of our century.

In view of the fact that the book provides a wide panorama of musical art, the analysis is in many cases very complicated (which is largely predetermined by the material itself), the compilers consider it possible to address this textbook to students of not only performing, but also theoretical departments of music schools. The content of the book allows for a selective approach to it in the educational process; the depth and detail of the study of chapters is determined by the teachers themselves, depending on the level of preparedness of students, the material equipment of the educational process with notes and recordings of music and the number of hours allocated by the curriculum for this part of the course.
A large group of authors have worked on this book. Hence - the inevitability of different ways of presenting the material; at the same time, in the very approach to it, the compilers strove to preserve uniform methodological principles.
