Annotation
This article discusses one of Rodion Shchedrin's last choral works, the miniature I Need Few, from the Khlebnikov-Triptych cycle created in 2020. The piece is analyzed in the context of the composer's choral compositions and the poetic legacy of Velimir Khlebnikov. Particular attention is paid to the semantics, expressive means, and pedagogical value of this opus.
Objective: To find out the primary expressive means that contribute to the composition's philosophical depth and to demonstrate the value of the miniature from a teaching and performance perspective.
Methods: Structural-analytical and intonation-semantic methods, value analysis, and cultural studies.
Results: The primary expressive means and semantics of the work are identified and described, examined in the context of the composer Rodion Shchedrin's creative work and style.
Scientific Novelty: This composition by R. Shchedrin is relatively new in the composer's legacy and has not yet received sufficient attention in musicology. This is the first comprehensive analysis of this work from the perspective of semantics and expressive means.
Practical Application: The key provisions of the article can be used in performance and teaching practice.
