| Description | The paper is concerned about a methodological problems of a description, formalisation and analytical categorization of selected musical phenomena accompanying the transformation in the musical language and the aesthetics after the First World War in Europe. With the background in current methodological approaches of general musical analysis and philosophy of music, a meta-analytic category "multidimensionality" is constructed. Through the lense of the multidimensionality, a broad-spectrum shifts in a parameterization of musical languages in works of Czech musical avant-garde artists is presented. These trends are set in the wider framework of dramatic changes in European artificial music and European intellectual climate itself, during the interwar period. The analysis concludes those new lines of aesthetics in Czech musical avant-garde circles as the Expansion of technical and conceptual (and also technological) solutions in compositional practice of authors selected. The impact of these trends, on the development of musical language in the European area, is finally discussed. The analysis, in the broader sense, deals with the importance of Czech musical avant-garde authors for the changes of robustness of a sound-space conception reached in the European area in the first four decades of the 20th century. |
