To the Question of Visualizing a Simultaneous Image of a Musical Piece as a Method of Developing Perception of Musical Forms

This article is devoted to discussion of visual method of learning musical form – the universal graphical model. This method is based on the perception phenomenon and the concept of “a simultaneous vision of a musical piece”. In the author’s approach, this method is realized as a graphical scheme and is being created for each piece on the basis of mnemonic, using a device for developing memory “mnemonic window”. The process of visualization of simultaneous image uses model of religious icon in which the central image of a saint and small images around it basically are a simultaneous or “compressed” representation of saint’s life. Multilevel differentiation of a graphical model allows saving simultaneous image as a summation of musical content and form – not only elementary musical structure consisting of two or three small parts but large complex works as well. The technology of creation of simultaneous image can be used both during first years of musical education and professional practice of performing musicians, teachers, and composers. The training of perception of simultaneous image since the beginning of musical education promotes arbitrary learning of musical form, development of a very important musical ability which was called “architectonic hearing” by N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov.
