| “Ozymandias” op.15 № 1 (poem by Shelley) for bass and piano it is strengthened of an idea of art eternity and man-creator. Recitative-like vocal part and permanently chordal accompaniment create majesty story-hymn which exists as if it out the time. The composer originally has used timbre possibilities of a piano, such as register comparisons, contrary and parallel moving of the textural layers that impart to music extent and spatial differentiation on the first, the second etc. plans. (Ex.30)
Ex. 30 Borys Lyatoshyns'ky, Ozymandias (bars 4–12) 
Also there are various harmonic colours in this romance, in the first and the final sections of which prevail the diatonic chords consisted of perfect fourths and fifths but in the middle section they are more complicated. So, here alternate a secondary seventh chord with major seventh and a secondary seventh chord with third and major seventh. Here also appear a dominant major ninth chord with fissionable (simultaneously sharpened and flattened) fifth, and also unusual two-layers facture of contrary and parallel moving: 1) the perfect fifths in the bass; 2) series of the secondary seventh chords in the middle register. (Ex.31) Ex. 31 Borys Lyatoshyns'ky, Ozymandias (bars 18–24)

Then, in the instrumental pieces he used them, interspersing in an expressionistic atmosphere as personification of the whimsical, delicate images, an unattainable beauty ideal with a seal of sadness. For instance, one of the favourite textural and harmonic means of Lyatoshyns`ky – a secondary seventh chord with major seventh in a wide arrangement – we can see in the second part of Download 3.96 Mb.
