The Russian Protiazhnaia “Prolonged” Folk Song
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2019
Extract
This short paper contains some general remarks about a type of Russian folk song called protiazhnaia. It is a unique genre of “old” Russian folk songs and is remarkable for its broad development of melody, to which its profound textual content and overall emotional impact are intimately bound. The subject matter of these songs is highly varied and rich, developing out of a deep lyricism which makes a powerful artistic impression upon those who hear them.
