Summary/Abstract: Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the interest of composers for the creative act has grown. Many composers have become preoccupied by the compositional process because of the multitude of possibilities they can work with. The way they created a work is the main point of exploring the new. This review of European and Romanian music is necessary to find that the elements of language used by Romanian composers were "trendy" and, at the same time, adapted to the Romanian specifics. In Romanian composition, elements of language appear that detach themselves from the traditional diatonic orbit. The world of modal intonation detached from folklore cuts for itself a more colorful garment and it will create new expressions and architectures, from the most complex ones.
