"Tree of Music" is a culturological study that interprets the art of music as a living multidimensional system. Various aspects of music are considered in the context of the universal conditions of perception and thinking - time and space. The author, who wrote the first, unpublished version of his work in 1974 in Leningrad, over the years of living and teaching in the United States, significantly revised his research, enriching it with material from the works of the largest Western scientists in the field of aesthetics, sociology, psychology and philosophy of music. The study "Tree of Music" reflects the experience of auditory and scientific development of the phenomena of the musical culture of India, Indonesia, Japan, China and Africa: the reader is invited not only to look at the phenomenon of music from the point of view of different areas of knowledge and various aesthetic and technological approaches, but also to see this phenomenon from the standpoint of the world's largest cultures. This method allows you to deepen your understanding of the fundamental foundations of music and at the same time gives rise to a voluminous multicultural view of the essence of musical art.
The book contains rich factual and bibliographic material. It is recommended to musicologists, teachers and students, as well as to anyone interested in the philosophical and cultural issues of art.
