ABSTRACT

This paper is devoted to the problems of the current state of Russian research in the field of harmony in music and its influence on musical-theoretical education. The evolution of the doctrines of harmony in the 20th and 21st centuries was determined by changes in artistic practice which did not fit into traditional concepts. In the process of resolving the contradictions that have arisen, the definition of “harmony” either localizes or returns to the original universal sense, but at a qualitatively different level, which became the basis for a gradual transition in higher musical education from a complex of local historical courses of harmony to a single academic discipline, encompassing all the problems of this phenomenon at the modern level of scientific knowledge.
