- Abstract
The terms classical and non-classical are firmly established in fundamentally different spheres of musical art: academic, avant-garde and experimental music, jazz, rock culture, pop art, and commercial sound production. The purpose of the article is to define classical and non-classical as universal cultural paradigms that reflect the main processes in musical practice and theoretical reflection. These paradigms have a local-historical and a metahistorical dimension. In the local historical dimension, the classical paradigm reflects the formation of a centralized tonalharmonic system, a strict hierarchy of musical language. The non-classical paradigm is associated with the energy of the breaking of the turn of the 19thñ20th centuries (the new organization of sound pitch, the introduction of new musical instruments), the modernist rejection of tradition, reflected in artistic experience and aesthetic manifestos. In the metahistorical dimension of the classical paradigm, music is understood as a symbol of architectonic harmony and perfection. Non-classical reflects the zone of search, experiment, destruction of stability, which were present in music at different periods of its history. The complexity of interaction between classical and non-classical dimensions in music led to their ability to coexist in one space, as well as the constant migration of the nonclassical to the classical. It is confirmed by the logic of the development of various genre and style spheres of music.
