Abstract

On the eve of the one hundredth anniversary of Jānis Ivanovs, a Latvian composer, outstanding symphonist, and author of different chamber and choir music pieces of various genres a new wave of interest, concerning the piano compositions of the above composer was provoked by the project, effected by pianist Juris Kalnciems, professor of Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music, namely, the production of the cycle 24 sketches (24 skicējumi) by Jānis Ivanovs; its concert performance; CD recorded by ULMA in 2006; recording of the Latvian Radio in 2004 and publication of the cycle score Musica Baltica in 2006. Sketches have been composed within 1966–1972. They comprise all 24 tonalities and should be considered as a small encyclopedia of the composer’s creative ideas within the framework of piano music, presented as a chamber music version. Going deep into the musical language and details of form of 24 sketches by Jānis Ivanovs and his other piano pieces, the author focuses on the problem seemingly narrow and specific, however essential for understanding the music by Jānis Ivanovs. The purpose of the author is to reveal the unique form building and imaginative role of harmonious cadenzas in the piano pieces by Jānis Ivanovs, to differentiate between the imaginative and conceptually diverse basic variants of cadenzas in contiguity with the thematical material of a particular composition and the dramaturgy, prevalent in every particular miniature.
