Abstract

[The purpose of the article is to analyze the history of connections of music with the world of numbers, on the one hand, and the world of words and verbal utterance, on the other. Number and word, usually considered to be drastically opposed in relation to music, in the doctrine of the Russian philosopher of the 20th century Alexei Losev became the components of an integral system. The novelty of the article is in the conclusions made from the analyzed musical-philosophical texts. Namely, Losev’s doctrine of music as an expression of becoming of number, in integrity with his doctrine of musical myth, synthesized the centuries-old evolution of musical theory and provided an optimal methodology for studying musical meaning, thereby opening the way to understanding the latest forms of music. Inspired by philosophical texts on this issue, an interdisciplinary approach seems to be of value on the way towards identification the specifics of musical thinking. The conclusions of the article concern new ways of studying the musical meaning - both in general and in individual musical texts.]
