Beyond Regionalisms and Nationalisms: Cornel Țăranu
Beyond Regionalisms and Nationalisms: Cornel Țăranu

Summary/Abstract: In a similar way to his composer colleagues, most of them from Bucharest, Țăranu consistently followed a European path, which at the same time has solid roots in the Transylvanian traditions and in Enescu’s composition. In my text I will refer to the whole generation of the sixties, their mentors and the radical views of the young composer. Education by composers who began their careers in interwar Romania, Enescu’s legacy and decisive steps towards the avant-garde are the main layers of Țăranu’s compositions. It was important for me to integrate this clear voice into the choir of his contemporary Romanian composers, many of whom were good, solid friends.
