KIRISH: Gโarbiy Yevropa klassik musiqasi insoniyat madaniy merosining muhim tarkibiy qismi boโlib, uning shakl va janrlari tarixiy taraqqiyot jarayonida uzluksiz ravishda takomillashib borgan. XVII asr boshlarida yuzaga kelgan barokko davridan boshlab XIX asr oxirigacha davom etgan romantizm davrigacha boโlgan davr musiqa sanโatida tub burilishlar davri sifatida eโtirof etiladi. Ushbu davrda musiqiy shakllar murakkablashib, janrlar tizimi kengaydi, kompozitorlik uslublari takomillashdi va ijrochilik madaniyati yangi bosqichga koโtarildi. Barokko davrida polifonik uslub ustun boโlib, fuga, kantata, oratoriya kabi janrlar rivojlangan boโlsa, klassitsizm davrida sonata, simfoniya va kvartet kabi shakllar mukammallashdi. Romantizm davriga kelib esa musiqada individual ifoda, emotsional chuqurlik va milliylik unsurlari kuchaydi. Shu bois, mazkur tarixiy jarayonni ilmiy asosda oโrganish musiqa nazariyasi va pedagogikasi uchun muhim ahamiyat kasb etadi. MAQSAD: mazkur tadqiqotning maqsadi Gโarbiy Yevropa klassik musiqasida barokko davridan romantizm davrigacha boโlgan shakl va janrlarning rivojlanish bosqichlarini tarixiy-xronologik jihatdan tahlil qilish hamda ularning musiqiy tafakkur taraqqiyotidagi oโrnini aniqlashdan iborat. METODLAR VA MATERIALLAR: tadqiqot jarayonida tarixiy-tahliliy, qiyosiy va tizimli yondashuv metodlaridan foydalanildi. Musiqashunoslikka oid ilmiy adabiyotlar, kompozitorlar asarlari va ularning partituralari asosiy manba sifatida xizmat qildi. Barokko, klassitsizm va romantizm davrlariga mansub asarlar qiyosiy tahlil qilinib, ularning shakliy va janriy xususiyatlari oโrganildi. Shuningdek, stilistik tahlil orqali har bir davrning oโziga xos musiqiy tili va ifoda vositalari aniqlab berildi. NATIJA VA MUHOKAMA: tadqiqot natijalari shuni koโrsatdiki, barokko davrida musiqaning asosiy xususiyati polifonik tuzilma va kontrapunkt sanโatining yuksak darajada rivojlanganligidir. Ushbu davrda fuga, preludiya, oratoriya va kantata kabi janrlar keng tarqaldi. Musiqada dramatik ifoda kuchayib, cherkov va saroy musiqasi yetakchi oโrin egalladi. Klassitsizm davrida esa musiqiy shakllar aniq tizimlashdi. Sonata shakli universal modelga aylandi va simfoniya, sonata, kontsert kabi yirik janrlar shakllandi. Bu davr musiqasida muvozanat, aniqlik va mantiqiylik ustun boโlib, garmonik tuzilma soddalashdi, homofonik uslub rivojlandi.Romantizm davriga kelib, musiqada subโektivlik va individuallik kuchaydi. Kompozitorlar oโz ichki kechinmalarini ifodalashga intildilar. Miniatyura janrlari (noktyurn, prelyudiya, etyud) keng rivojlandi, dasturiy musiqa paydo boโldi. Orkestr tarkibi kengayib, timbral rang-baranglik ortdi. Milliy maktablarning shakllanishi esa musiqaga yangi ohang va ritmik boylik olib kirdi. Muhokama jarayonida aniqlanishicha, har bir davr oโzidan oldingi davr anโanalariga tayanib, yangi shakl va janrlarni yuzaga keltirgan. Bu esa musiqaning evolyutsion rivojlanish qonuniyatini tasdiqlaydi. XULOSA: Gโarbiy Yevropa klassik musiqasida barokko davridan romantizm davrigacha boโlgan davr shakl va janrlarning izchil rivojlanish bosqichlarini oโz ichiga oladi. Har bir davr oโzining estetik qarashlari, uslubiy xususiyatlari va musiqiy ifoda vositalari bilan ajralib turadi. Ushbu tarixiy jarayonni oโrganish nafaqat musiqashunoslik, balki musiqa taโlimi tizimi uchun ham muhim nazariy va amaliy ahamiyatga ega.
INTRODUCTION: Western European classical music is an important part of the cultural heritage of humanity, whose forms and genres have been continuously refined throughout historical development. The period from the early 17th century, associated with the Baroque era, to the late 19th century, encompassing Romanticism, is recognized as a time of fundamental transformations in musical art. During this time, musical forms became more complex, the system of genres expanded, compositional styles were refined, and performance culture reached a new level. In the Baroque period, the polyphonic style dominated, and such genres as the fugue, cantata, and oratorio developed extensively. In the Classical period, forms such as the sonata, symphony, and string quartet were perfected. With the advent of Romanticism, individual expression, emotional depth, and national elements became more prominent. Therefore, the scientific study of this historical process is of great importance for musicology and pedagogy. AIM: the aim of this study is to conduct a historical and chronological analysis of the development of forms and genres in Western European classical music from the Baroque period to Romanticism, and to determine their role in the evolution of musical thinking. METHODS AND MATERIALS: the research employed historical-analytical, comparative, and systematic approaches. Scientific literature on musicology, composersโ works, and their musical scores served as primary sources. Works from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods were comparatively analyzed to identify their formal and genre-specific characteristics. In addition, stylistic analysis was used to determine the unique musical language and expressive means of each period. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: the findings of the study indicate that in the Baroque period, the main characteristics of music were its polyphonic structure and the highly developed art of counterpoint. During this time, genres such as the fugue, prelude, oratorio, and cantata became widespread. Dramatic expression intensified, and church and court music played a leading role. In the Classical period, musical forms became clearly structured and systematized. The sonata form emerged as a universal model, and major genres such as the symphony, sonata, and concerto were established. Music of this period is characterized by clarity, balance, and logical coherence, with the development of the homophonic style. In the Romantic period, subjectivity and individuality in musical expression became more pronounced. Composers sought to convey their inner emotions. Miniature genres (nocturne, prelude, รฉtude) developed widely, and program music emerged. The orchestra expanded, and timbral diversity increased. The formation of national schools enriched music with new melodic and rhythmic elements. The discussion reveals that each period, building upon the traditions of the previous one, gave rise to new forms and genres, confirming the evolutionary nature of musical development. CONCLUSION: in conclusion, the development of forms and genres in Western European classical music from the Baroque period to Romanticism represents a consistent and ะทะฐะบะพะฝะพะผะตัะฝัะน process. Each period is distinguished by its own aesthetic views, stylistic features, and expressive means. Studying this historical process is of significant theoretical and practical importance for both musicology and music education.
