About the musical component in S. Yuzeev’s novel "Don’t interrupt the dead"

The article is based on our report at the 2nd International scientific conference "Contemporary Oriental Art: The Key Processes, Methods of Study, Problems of Museumification" (Moscow, October 17-20, 2017). We have analyzed the novel by modern Tatar prose writer and filmmaker Salavat Yuzeev "Don't Interrupt the Dead" (2015) in the aspect of art synthesis. Musical components and elements of cinematic language play an important role in his novel. Musical images, leitmotifs and rhythms are manifested as at the level of artistic and semantic comprehension, plot and composition, as at the level of micropoetics. Some structural features of the novel refer to the sonata form. Rhythm phrases, recordings also show the synthetic nature of the text. The sonata form manifesting at different levels of the narrative helps the author to emphasize and "rhythmize" the eternal confrontation of good and evil against the background of time and eternity, to endow this confrontation with a universal character.
