Rumänische Klaviermusik aus Perspektive der ästhetischen Orientierung. Umriss einer möglichen Systematisierung
Romanian Piano Music from the Perspective of Aesthetic Approach. Outline of a Possible Systematization

Summary/Abstract: On the occasion of a symposium held in Dresden in 2022, dedicated to Romanian piano music, an attempt was made to present this subject in its entirety by means of a two-dimensional scheme. This provides information about a series of six historical periods and four aesthetic orientations. The abstract nature of this type of presentation is supplemented by seven concrete examples of briefly analyzed piano music. Among the conclusions of the study are the facts (1) that most composers, even those who did not pay particular attention to this instrument, saw their piano pieces as the first ground for experimenting with new ideas, (2) that the development of piano music faithfully follows the development of Romanian music, and (3) that this development was particularly rapid, quantitatively and qualitatively, in a period of about 200 years.
