THE PROBLEM OF ATTITUDE TOWARDS MUSIC IN THE EARLY RENAISSANCE

Abstract

Annotation. It is known that the attitude to music occupies a special place in the work of Eastern thinkers of the Early Renaissance. Abu Nasr Al-Farabi's "The Great Book of Music" is the first work in this direction, which covers aspects of music that are still important for our day. The thinker, in turn, also developed a system of musical terminology and thought about musical instruments. The article analyzes this work of Al-Farabi from these aspects and draws reasonable conclusions.
