ABSTRACT
The 20th century has been marked by the emergency of unpredictable mixtures of styles, which owing to the global character of its culture has virtually brought together seemingly incompatible things. The creative work of Roman Ledenyov, a Moscow based composer, represents a case of such stylistic unpredictability, for he came to embrace such extremes as the spheres of Webern and Sviridov, Berg and Rachmaninov while all of these opposites in style could be traced back to Sergei Prokofiev.
