"The Mozart is not bored" – ZAXID.NET

The great advertising in the world of music made the announcement of a lawsuit in which a Lutsk entrepreneur, Sergei Lapkovsky, asked a well-known group "Antitheli" to pay one million hryvnias. He accused the musicians of having used their patented utility model, No. 74516, "A way to adjust the parameters of a musical composition", patented in 2012 and filed in front of a court. his songs.

ZAXID.NET decided to examine in more detail the essence of the question and what exactly is Lapkovskii's invention. It is also interesting to know why he is in favor of the Antibody group, because he can theoretically pretend to anyone writing music.

Because the problem is quite complicated, we tried to preserve as much as possible the direct language of Sergei Lapkovsky

"Why" "? Myself, I did not look for them, I asked people to find me defendants. They really found three compositions. The musicians did not think that anyone would defend the patent right, "he said.

It seems that Sergey Lapkovsky filed a lawsuit in December 2017. Since then, according to him, two judges have refused to He has contacted the musician of the group "Antityla" Sergei Vusik, in order to settle, according to him, throughout the negotiations.However, the musicians refused.Lapkovsky emphasizes that he is ready to to sell to anyone a license of his invention But what is his essence?

"I am a professional composer, I make music. What did I find? My invention is very expensive. Because if the composer uses the tempo according to the rhythm, he uses my invention. What is the key? That's the frequency, each tone has its own frequency. There are 12 tones in a uniformly tempered system. What is the rhythm? This is the frequency of alternations, "says Sergey Lapkovskii, ZAXID.NET, the essence of his invention.

"Before, they did not bother to set the tone. That's what I came with. I have all the songs so made for the first time in the world. Everything must be agreed so that you do not get bored. He was delighted, "he says, pointing out the originality of his invention.

When asked if the rhythm and tone were consistent, for example with Mozart, the composer, the Music, considered the most famous in the world, the inventor replied that Mozart also so "do not get bored."

"Mozart really did not hear anyone. You can not tell what his pace was. His works are not recorded. So, perhaps, the pace and tone have not been agreed upon, but now this can be done, "he estimates.

Sergey Lapkovskii also pointed out that to understand the useful model number 74516 "Method of adjusting the parameters of musical composition" you must know The theory of music.

That is why ZAXID.NET asked Nazar Skrypnyk keynote speaker of the composition of the National Music Academy Lviv, to name him Mr. Lyssenko

Here is what he said:

" Here, obviously, this is a patent trolley. On the one hand – the author skillfully uses scientific facts. First of all, the numerical ratios of octaves 1: 2 and quintiles 1: 1,5 (or 2: 3) are proposed in the sixth century. BC Pythagoras, ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician. Second, the pitch of the sound really changes with the change of pace. This is due to the stretching or compression of the sound wave during deceleration and acceleration, respectively.

And here, about the "patent". The author states that the relationships in which a strong metric destiny coincides with the frequency of the fluctuations of the sounds, which are tonics of the corresponding tone, are "ideal". The composition thus adjusted is supposed to be "perceived more naturally at the intuitive level". In my opinion, this is a simple manipulation of the facts, because it is difficult to determine such an impact. But it is likely that a musical composition written on a popular tone (many studies on the popularity of tone, for example, published in 2012 on the blog Hooktheory Blog) will have a similar pace to that proposed by the "system "Lapkovskii – the great It probably became the occasion of manipulation . "

Sergei Lapkovsky is convinced that" Antibodies "loses the court and promises to sue other Ukrainian musicians, whose" tone will be up to it. "[19659002] Recall that the practice of issuing patents on well-known models or technological processes is quite common in Ukraine, for example, in December 2012, Vitaly Golev, a resident of Lviv patented a hanger, and subsequently asked the JYSK company to pay him a fee for hangers imported to Ukraine.Producers of well-known patents are the Golylusov brothers, as well as residents of Lviv.They have already received patents for toothpicks, electronic tablets, crates of bottles, a respirator, etc. However, for the first time, this practice has affected the music
