The paper considers the role of Anton Rubinstein in the
evolution of Russian musical culture. The authors draw
attention to insuffi cient coverage of Rubinstein’s music
and literature heritage in music studies. They analyze
Rubinstein’s book “The box of thoughts”, scrutinizing a
number of Rubinstein’s statements from the standpoint of
today’s views. Consequently, the analysis results into the
conclusion that the main statements and views described
in the composer’s book stay up-to-date.
Keywords: music, art, creation, composer, pianist, teacher, listener, piano, thought, system, history, modernity, herit-age, style, piece of music, standpoint, motivation.
