The analysis of the correlation between all kinds of musicianʼs activity in different periods made possible to determine the turning points of his creative biography and to periodize the artistʼs creativity: performing period (1899‒1903), synthetically-integrative period (1904‒1909), composer period (1910−1916) and period of the musicpublic activity (1917‒1922). The author stated that individual style as a unity of the system of activities is a unifying tool for all kinds of creative activity of the musician. Thus, K.
