Abstract

The article views the outstanding Hungarian composer-romanticist’s creative work from the positions of the image-bearing system of the art of the Romantic era, its specificity and means of embodiment. The material for research embraces piano and orchestra compositions: five “Mephisto Waltzes”, “Mephisto Polka”, “The Piano Sonata in B minor”, fantasia quasi sonata “Apres une lecture du Dante” (“After a Reading of Dante”), the “Faust symphony”, the “Dante symphony” that depict various manifestations of evil. These compositions are studied in image-and-prosodic plane. The main method of research is the prosodic analysis approaching the minor integral analysis. Singling out and description of prosodic “nucleus” as a stable complex of expressive means that serve to re-create the images mentioned have become the result of the research. This complex is characterized by certain features (tone, register, articulatory, melodic, rhythmic, tonality-and-harmonic and genre ones) as well as by regularities of a theme formation and development. Conclusion presents the attempt to view the phenomena under research from the point of Christian teaching
