At the beginning of the 21st century, the pairing and fusion of “old” and “new” in modern musical art affects not only the relations within various areas of musical culture, but is also present in every direction, current and style of academic, as well as pop-rock-jazz culture. And in this conjunction, every master musician-composer faces a choice: either to remain a follower of traditions, denying everything “new”, or to take the side of avantgarde experimentalists writing “music of the future”, or to find the possibilities of a “middle way” - a musical dialogue between the past and the present. Presenting his own vision of reality and finding a common language with the masters of the past, with the phenomena of the present, often helps a modern composer to “discover” himself in the opposition between “self” and “other”, and to understand others. The purpose of this article is to study and analyze dialogue, peculiar communications, to find and draw possible parallels without violating the unity of the historical and cultural context of musical works.
