ENAccording to the researches carried out by the author it is evident that ethnic music (EM) is the kind of the primitive art and must be evaluated using the different methodology from the methodology which is used for the researches of academy music (AM). Conclusion is made according to the comparison of the main formal features (table No. 1) and main non-formal features (table No. 2) of EM and AM. The table No. 1 shows that both kinds of the musical art have connections and differences. The melody and manner of execution, for example, which are very significant features of the AM, could be petty in the examples of EM. As it is evident in the table No. 2, differently from the AM, the EM usually is not limited by the specific duration, it has not the sequences, expressional dynamic and other features, which were formed and mostly stabilized since the time of the Classicism. Only the trends of the con- temporary music of the 20th century adopted main qualities of the EM, because in the EM the features were found similar to indications of the post-modern art as well. It is mostly evident in the aesthetic of the minimalism of the 60-ies of the 20th century. According to the comparison of the main features of EM and AM, the author came to the conclusion that EM, most probably, could appear and be performed being naturally based on the laws of the acoustics. AM was indeed developed from the EM, because its main features show the noticeable influence of the human rationality. It is also evident, that both kinds of the musical art, using different means of musical and art expression, reach the same final result ñ a very suggestive impression. [From the publication]
