Summary/Abstract: An attempt to develop an algorithm of analytical operations while studying allonym compositions has been made. Allonymiya in music is a specific phenomenon, when the composition is signed by the name of another really existing person. Divulgation of this phenomenon helps to restore the lost concept about entirety of musical-historical heritage of the ancient and modern composers. As a particular case of authorship on the whole allonymiya covers a wide range of issues: theoretical aspects of the style, stylistics, stilization, stylistic indices of some historical epochs, national trends, composer’s schools, individual styles of some composers. This phenomenon in musicology is "an insecure" zone where plenty mistakes can be done in trying to research not only the composition with controversial authorship but musical heritage and stylistic features of the creative work of the "authors" as well. Please note that there are few serious works devoted to fictitious authorship and they are more an exception then a rule. In art (in particular, musicilogical) context the phenomenon of allonymiya (as a particular case of mistification) hasn’t been the subject of some scientific research till now.
