Abstract

Aesthetic education of an individual is an integral part of the national idea, the most important component of culture and art of many countries. At the present time there is a problem of moral education of personality. The relevance of the problem lies in the fact that modern people are little familiar with the history of different countries, the features of national traditions, little knowledge about the outstanding personalities of different nations. Aesthetic education of the individual through the musical art is a topical issue, as it concerns the fate of present and future generations. The main principle of the musical and aesthetic education should enrich the knowledge of the music of different peoples and countries, especially that which reflects the national culture. The article examines the role of the outstanding Polish composer, pianist and teacher Friderik Chopin in the aesthetic education of the personality. The role of Friderik Chopin’s musical and artistic aesthetics is examined. The importance of his work in the national musical art is noted. The methods of aesthetic, comparative, musical-theoretical and source analysis are used in this work. This article includes monographs, which cover the biography and works of Chopin; literature on Chopin’s work from the aspects of historical, cultural, and stylistic problems of the 19th century; musicological works, which describe the features of style, musical form and musical language; literature of famous Russian musicians, devoted to the performing problems of Chopin’s music; methodological works of musical and pedagogical aspects are noted. Some compositions of F. Chopin, which reveal his artistic and aesthetic views, are mentioned. The conclusion that the process of formation of the aesthetic culture of the individual requires direct communication of society with the best examples of artistic and aesthetic creativity of different peoples. This bright example is the creative legacy of the outstanding Polish composer Frederic Chopin.
