“How full of silence is the noise”
Andrei Platonov and contemporary Russian music
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Andrei Platonov’s literary works are imbued with music. Composers such as Aleksandr Mozalevskii, Ivan Sokolov, Vladimir Tarnopolskii, Alexander Vutsin and Dmitrii Kurliandskii have set prose and lyrics written by the author to music. Since the same motifs recur time and again in Platonov’s texts, they have made use of a montage principle to come closer to the music in the text. In this way, they have created a counterpoint to Platonov’s language.
