The article explores the evolution of Ukrainian piano music from the 20th to the early 21st century, which is a significant component of Ukraine’s cultural and artistic heritage. It analyzes the process of changes in genre and stylistic parameters of piano music and their impact on the process of forming national identity, encompassing both the revival of folk traditions and the introduction of avant-garde techniques. Particular focus is put on the interaction of Ukrainian composers with global musical processes, which has enriched the musical language by integrating new compositional techniques. The study also considers the cultural and historical contexts that influenced the formation of styles and genres during periods of avant-garde, modernism, and postmodernism. The research emphasizes the importance of continuously updating musicological methods to understand innovative phenomena in piano music and their impact on the development of musical culture. It has been determined that piano music of the 20th and early 21st centuries has become a significant indicator of genre and stylistic transformations in the musical arts. It serves as a foundation for innovative ideas that later found expression in chamber and symphonic music. Ukrainian piano music has played a key role in preserving national traditions, combining them with European influences. Particularly significant is the endeavor of Ukrainian composers to blend folklore and national melos with classical-romantic traditions, as well as their ability to adapt to social challenges, reflecting social changes and influencing the formation of a new cultural identity.
