LTMikalojaus Konstantino Čiurlionio fortepijoninė kūryba bene geriausiai atspindi šio menininko stiliaus formavimosi bei evoliucijos bruožus. Tyrinėjant šių kompozicijų rankraščius, pastebima, kad kintant autoriaus kūrybiniam braižui, kartu keičiasi ir kūrinių užrašymo stilius. Bene pusė M. K. Čiurlionio kompozicijų fortepijonui rankraščių yra nebaigti. Turint omenyje, kad kompozitorius pilnai suredagavo tik tris fortepijoninius kūrinius, o jam gyvam esant publikuoti taip pat tik trys, rengiant M. K. Čiurlionio kompozicijų publikacijas, susiduriama su daugybe natų teksto dešifravimo sunkumų. Iki šiol M. K. Čiurlionio fortepijoninių kūrinių palikimą publikavusių redaktorių - Stasio Šimkaus, Jadvygos Čiurlionytės, Vytauto Landsbergio, Dorotheaos Eberlein, Janinos Neniškytės, Birutės Vainiūnaitės, Dariaus Kučinsko, Roko Zubovo - darbuose ypač ryški kiekvieno jų asmeninė kompozicijų teksto interpretacija. Šio straipsnio objektas yra M. K. Čiurlionio variacijų Sefaa Esec tekstas, kuris dėl kompozicijos rankraščio neišbaigtumo publikacijose formuojamas labai įvairiai. Tyrimo tikslas - išanalizuoti M. K. Čiurlionio variacijų "Sefaa Esec" redakcijas fortepijonui, palyginti jų skirtumus su autografu. [...].

ENM. K. Čiurlioniss style formation and its evolution features are reflected by his musical works for piano. The study of these manuscripts reveals that the changes o f the authors creative characteristics are followed by the changes of the style of recording his works. Nearly a half of M. K. Čiurlioniss composition manuscripts for piano are not completed. Bearing in mind that the composer edited only three piano works (Mazurka in F-major (VL 143) Prelude b-minor (VL 269) Prelude and d-minor (VL 294)) and in his lifetime only three pieces were published as well (Mazurka in F-major (VL 143), Prelude b-minor (VL 269), Prelude and d-minor (VL 294)), the preparation of the compositions by M. K. Čiurlionis deals with numerous sheet music decryption difficulties. Up to now the works of various editors, namely, S. Šimkus, J. Čiurlionytė, V. Landsbergis, D. Eberlein, J. Neniškytė, B. Vainiūnaitė, D. Kučinskas and R. Zubovas - who published the musical heritage of piano pieces by M. K. Čiurlionis - depict particularly striking individual interpretation of musical texts. Variations "Sefaa Esec" denote the beginning of the search for a new and increasingly modernizing music style (1904- 1905) by M. K. Čiurlionis. The cycle is based on constantly repeating series of nine sounds - es-e-f-a-a-e-es-e-c. The only original manuscript which has remained so far is the editorial basis of this composition. It is the draft written by a graphite pencil in M. K. Čiurlioniss composition book which is stored in the archives of M. K. Čiurlionis National Art Museum in Kaunas. The most famous editors of the musical works by M. K. Čiurlionis - S. Šimkus, J. Čiurlionytė, V. Landsbergis, D. Kučinskas and R. Zubovas - differently presented the text of Variations "Sefaa Esec" in nine publications.They reflect the variety of different editors’ approaches. The aim of this scientific article is to analyse the versions of Variations "Sefaa Esec" by M. K. Čiurlionis, to compare their differences with the autograph. Examination of the autograph by M. K. Čiurlionis authograph revealed problematic aspects which have led to different cycle represented in its editors’ publications. Most important of them can be described as follows: the sequence of the cycle parts; the incomplete parts of the variations of the manuscript; the crossed out sketch of the part of the cycle; authoritative and non-authoritative signs in the text. It is noticeable that the comparative analysis of the manuscript and editions of the Variations "Sefaa Esec" by M. K. Čiurlionis carried out the tendencies of the exhibiting of this musical piece have been constantly changing since the days of its creation up to present. This made a direct impact on the perception of its performance. [From the publication]
