In the Russian musical culture the term “musical ethnography” as the name of science has appeared at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the Soviet period, when the politicization of art began to take place, the term “musical folklore” became established. The scientifi c thought about the Tatar folk musical creativity developed within the framework of “musical folklore”. In studies of the pitch and temporal structure of Tatar folk songs, a formal (abstract) approach dominated. Consideration of them in the context of other disciplines became possible only in the post-totalitarian period, when there were ample opportunities for rebirth and the return of the true artistic values. Only from that time the science of the musical folklore had the opportunity to actively use the methods and techniques of other sciences (history, literature, sociology, social psychology, ethnography, linguistics), to give an objective and in-depth assessment of the peculiarities of Tatar musical folklore.
