Features of the authentic interpretation of the text

The article is devoted to the study of the authentic interpretation of the author's text. Within the framework of this problem, the methodological approach of Nikolaus Arnonkur-the Austrian conductor, choirmaster, cellist, music writer and one of the largest representatives of the movement of authentic performance, is presented. The methodological approach of Nikolaus Arnonkur is of great importance both for musicians and performers in the field of hermeneutics. The search for the necessary tools of authentic knowledge of the author's text raises a number of difficulties before the interpreter. Working with the graphics of the text, the transcriptor can rely on both an intuitive and an intellectual way of "subtracting". The analysis of the text by this or that method helps to find certain components of authenticity of this or that source. Quite interesting is the position of the British instrumental master and musicologist, the author of the study "Interpretation of Music of the 17th and 18th Centuries, Based on Contemporary Materials", which initiated the practical mastery of ancient music. According to Dolmeta, the key to an authentic reading of the text lies through the use of historical tools and the creation of a certain environment of the era. However, when reconstructing a historical text, the interpreter has to face a number of difficulties and uncertainties. Difficulties, as a rule, are often determined by the absence of living patterns of interpretation traditions, and then the interpretation is limited by the conditions of intuitive "subtraction". However, the creation of perfect conditions using historical tools can and usually creates its own metamorphosis. As Dolmec argues, the imperfection of the historical instrument was the perfect execution in a certain epoch, accordingly, any reconstruction of it could not satisfy and be an authentic reading after even some time. The method of intellectual "subtraction" is most common in the art of text interpretation. The conditions of this method are much more comfortable and understandable. They are defined by a clear understanding of the traditions of interpretation, and direct contact with the creator of the text is possible. Thus, the interpreter working on this or that text faces a very responsible choice and has at least two ways available. Transcribe the graphics of the text as a "work", and then the graph does not provide information on the subtleties of its reproduction. In the second case - transcribe the graphics as a compilation for performance instructions. The author comes to the conclusion that the very authentic interpretation is impossible to the full, and it is only possible to maintain a certain level of authenticity.
