S. Bach; to describe the approaches to working with the timbre; to determine the concept of pure timbre and mixed timbres; to examine the question of orchestral implementation of monody; to describe the principle of organ-like polyphonic thinking in symphonic works.

The scientific novelty and the originality. Current dissertation is the first music study, in which the symphonic works of Pavel Rivilis are of the main concern. In this study, for the first time in the history of national musicology, the author raises questions related to timbre treatment in symphonic works, in particular, the implementation of monody through organ-aesthetics in order to create unique orchestral sounds.

The originality of this research is achieved through the identification and analysis of the methods used by Pavel Rivilis in working with the timbre, as the main parameter of the orchestral texture. The important scientific problem solved by the author in this research is the holistic elucidation of the approach to timbre treatment used by Pavel Rivilis in his symphonic works. This clarification allows the comprehension of the process in which the composer works with orchestral material, and helps to define his compositions well deserved place within the national musical culture.

The appendices may also be of a particular interest to the researchers that work in interdisciplinary fields, such as Music Psychology and Cultural Studies. In addition, the results of this study may serve as a foundation for future research.
