The chronotope in the worldview and music eras

In this article the author refers to the philosophical and cultural concepts of “worldview” and “chronotope” and justifies their interpretation in musicology. In his concept, the author proceeds from the recognition of the content of musical matter, which allows attributing the historical belonging of musical works. The worldview of the epoch and the picture of the world inherent in this time is reflected in the most characteristic means of expression, based on musical intonation, semantics of typical forms and genres. The combination of the methodology of philosophical and musicological analysis of space and time in music allows us to achieve the most adequate interpretation of the semantic field of a work of art in its historical interpretation.
