Abstract

The work is devoted to one of the most popular genres of tanatological themes — Dance macabre (Dance of Death). The XIV century witnessed the appearance of images, poetic texts and musical compositions embodying the image of dancing death. However, in the XVII and XVIII centuries, interest in this topic is drying up to be updated in painting, literature and music of the XIX century. At the same time, the first theoretical treatises were also written. But it is this article that for the first time in the Russian musicology draws attention to scientific works of French researchers of the first half of the XIX century dedicated to Dance macabre.
