On the formation and prospects of the development of performing culture in China in the context of the influence of the Russian piano school

the performing culture of Chinese pianists is characterized by the unity of national traditions and Western, including Russian cultural influences. The latter has been carried out comprehensively for more than a hundred years, through various manifestations of cultural interaction between the two countries, mainly through university music education. The periodization of the history of musical education in China varies quite a lot in the research of different scientists [16, p. 92]. The proposed periodization of the history of music education is closely related to socio-cultural tectonic shifts in Chinese society, the processes of growth and reversal of national identity, and, having a step-by-step structure, can become a support for considering the flexible process of formation and development of performing culture. In this article, performing culture is considered at four stages of the development of music education in China. The first stage was the emergence of music universities in China in the 1920s and 40s, the second was the period of intensive development of music education in the 1950s and mid?1960s. The third is the restoration of the level of musical education after the decade of the "cultural revolution" in the late 1970s and 1980s, and the fourth is from the 1990s to the present, a period of strengthening and growing independence of Chinese performing schools, the formation of a national piano environment, and its establishment in the international community. The purpose of the article is to consistently trace the formation and development of the performing culture of Chinese pianists at different stages of university music education in connection with the cultural influence of Russian performing schools. To identify the prospects of performing culture in modern China. The novelty of the chosen topic is seen in the perspective of attention directed at the problems of piano performing culture.
