Abstract

Abstract: Music performance involves the relationship between the performer and the text, which takes on various forms and characters throughout the work. One of the acute problems of this relationship is emotional burnout when indifference to the work takes the place of initial enthusiasm. It is generally accepted that the leading cause of this condition is routine based on the principle of repetition. How to break out of the vicious circle of routine? The repetition becomes a coil to the next level only by turning this circle into a spiral. To do this, musicians use various techniques and methods, the principle of which is searching and finding new meanings in the work.

This article discusses the problem of the routine of musical work and its solutions offered by the performers. The concept of inspiration, which is the opposite of routine, and the concept of the new, as a hermeneutic key to inspiration, are also analyzed

Keywords: the hermeneutics of art, hermeneutics of music, philosophy of art.
