Chicago Review, a highly regarded literary journal published at the University of Chicago, devoted a double issue (46:3&4, Fall 2000) to New Polish Writing: poems, short stories, novel excerpts, reportage, essays, and feuilletons written by Polish writers since 1989. On March 7, 2001, a group of students from the University of Illinois-Chicago met with W. Martin, the guest editor for the issue. The meeting was part of a course on postwar Polish literature taught by Professor Piotr Wilczek. This is the transcript of their conversation.

NEO-BAROQUE ELEMENTS INTO THE PIANO WORKS BY PAUL CONSTANTINESCU

NEOBAROCK ELEMENTE IN DAS KLAVIERWERK PAUL CONSTANTINESCUS

Author(s): Sanda Hîrlav Maistorovici / Language(s): / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: Original musical composition system; Originality; Elements of Byzantine music; Romanian folklore; Formal Neo-Baroque musical elements.

Paul Constantinescu started to design his musical composition system in his student years. He constantly and accurately observed this system during his entire lifetime. He resisted the avant-garde temptations of dodecaphony, serialism, Eastern music techniques, and so forth. He promoted originality, but not one based on extreme experiences. He advocated the sui generis originality rooted in the typically Romanian wisdom that respects and borrows from the experience of the Western culture, but does not amalgamate with it. The originality of Paul Constantinescu’s work stems from his choice to embody the values of the Byzantine melos and of the Romanian folk music in Western forms, tailored to the needs of the former. As a result, his work is remarkable for its clearly-defined, durable, and proportional formal structure. He does not reject the values and ideas of his Western antecessors. He does accept any compromise about the organization and the structure of the Romanian modal themes that he uses, either. Paul Constantinescu’s piano work is quite short in terms of duration (only 37 minutes of music), but extremely varied in its unity. It is intended for piano players of various ages and levels, in a similar way to Bach’s works. Paul Constantinescu conceived piano works of gradual difficulty both in terms of technique and style. This research paper aims to highlight Paul Constantinescu’s constant efforts to assimilate and apply the neo-Baroque elements of the Western musical composition techniques to the equally strong and healthy core of the Byzantine melos and of the Romanian folk music. His highly original approach to composition is based on finding correspondences, intersections, and coincidences between the two musical thinking systems.

Romanian spirituality mirrored in “Three Musical Caricature - Soldiering” by Paul Constantinescu

Spiritualitatea românească oglindită în „Trei caricaturi muzicale - Din Cătănie” de Paul Constantinescu

Author(s): Daniela Cojocaru / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: Music/2018

Keywords: music; folklore; modal structures; Paul Constantinescu;

Going through the historical stages of the Romanian musical culture in the last 100 years, we can observe a wide palette of stylistic orientations and directions, some of them connected with the traditional music, others linked with the idea of musical avant-garde through the great diversity and complex aesthetic. The Romanian composition school brought out musicians who marked decisive moments in the progress of the national musical culture. Paul Constantinescu is part of the generation that contributed, together with George Enesco, to the fulfillment of the ideal of building the real Romanian musical school. His entire musical works are marked by a language in which he combined in a special way elements of traditional music with those of Byzantine music. ‘Three Musical Caricature - Soldiering” is especially distinguished by the fact that it takes over the urban folklore (in this case, the soldier song that has spread widely in the interwar period) to which it attributes satirical connotations through original and particular forms of processing.

A century of Romanian music: Gavriil Musicescu, Sabin Drăgoi, Paul Constantinescu and Ion Popescu-Runcu

Un secol de muzică românească: Gavriil Musicescu, Sabin Drăgoi, Paul Constantinescu și Ion Popescu-Runcu

Author(s): Cristian Mihail Paraschiv / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 02/2019

Keywords: choral music; choral repertoire; songwriting; notation; folklore; patriotic; polyp-hony; homophony; monody;

This research wants to present in summary the most important directions in the activity of four titled creators of Romanian choral music: Gavriil Musicescu, Sabin V. Drăgoi, Paul Constantinescu and Ion Popescu-Runcu. During the concerned presentation we will not summarize to a scholastic exposure, the more so as there are already plenty of this kind of studies available in the specialized dictionaries, lexicons and biographical documents, but we’ll try to refer to those aspects of the biography and opera of these composers which are less known or highlighted in the musicology circles of research. In the same time, we propose by the study below to make a brief comparison of the music styles of these four Romanian authors, in order to establish the resemblances and the differences betwen their choral creations. This will help us at the end of the survey to accomplish an honest stylistic perspective of these four musicians, whose compositions comprise about one century of Romanian vocal and instrumental music.

The Oltenian Who Astonished the Sicentific World: George (Gogu) Constantinescu – the Founder of the Theory of Sonics, a Prolific Inventor

Olteanul care a uimit lumea științifică: George (Gogu) Constantinescu – părintele teoriei sonicității, campionul invențiilor

Author(s): Marian Rizea / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 8/2015

Keywords: George (Gogu) Constantinescu; sonicity; inven tions; innovations; liquid compressibility;

George (Gogu) Constantinescu (1881–1965), was the Romanian engineer who revolutionized science by creating a new field of mechanics called sonicity (the transmission of energy through vibrations in fluids or solids) and also he has over 370 inventions and innovations with real world applicability. He was, ironically, on the brink of falling into anonymity simply for the fact that his theory regarding the compressibility of liq uids was ignored and unrecognized by scientific forums of the time (even physics schoolbooks state the opposite) and also, the Patent Institutes of USA, England, France and Romania denied him a number of patent filings. Other impediments for the promotion of his inventions were, on one hand the fact that they were mostly focused on military technology (sonic cannon, sonic firing mechanism – through the propeller blades, automatic gear changer), on the other hand there was a lack of specialty publications at the time. By applying the principles of sonicity discovered and proven by George (Gogu) Constantinescu, another famous engineer, Ion Basgan, invented a drilling mechanism that was adopted by all the large companies in the world; without it the oil and gas indus try would not have made any progress which makes his invention comparable to what Bill Gates did for the field of computing (the Windows Operating System). This short summary is a homage brought to George (Gogu) Constantinescu – member of the Romanian Academy, prolific inventor, patriot and great fighter in the service of scientific truth.

BIOGRAPHICAL MARKS FROM COLONEL'S VASILE CONSTANTINESCU LIFE, INTENDANCE OFFICER IN THE ROMANIAN MARINE CORPS

REPERE BIOGRAFICE DIN VIAȚA COLONELULUI VASILE CONSTANTINESCU, OFIȚER DE INTENDENȚĂ ÎN MARINA ROMÂNĂ

Author(s): Elena ZÎRNĂ / Language(s): English,Romanian / Issue: 2/2020

Keywords: Vasile Constantinescu; officer; Romanian Navy; engineer;

One of the cherished officers of Romanian Marine, the colonel Vasile Constantinescu was born on 27 December 1879, in Pitesti, Arges county. When I wrote his personal memoir, it caught my attention the fact that he was from Arges. Then, I discovered that he was a great officer of intendance, a specialist in explosive material, who unfold a good part of his military activity in the Royal Romanian Marine.

Reading and Translating together... in the Feminine: Muguraş Constantinescu, Translator, among others, of La lectrice

Lire et Traduire conjugués… au féminin : Muguraş Constantinescu, traductrice, entre autres, de La lectrice

Author(s): Raluca-Nicoleta Balaţchi / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: La lectrice/ Cititoarea; Muguraş Constantinescu; Raymond Jean; Translation Criticism; ludic style;

Is reading a profession? A feminine one? It was the question addressed in a ludic style by the French writer Raymond Jean in his novel La lectrice, translated into Romanian (among many other languages) by Muguraş Constantinescu, an experienced translator of French literature into Romanian, who is also well-known for her theories in the field of Translation Studies, especially for concepts such as lecture critique de la traduction [critical reading of translation], as well as for her plea to include media discourse on translation in Translation Criticism. Reading and translating are, in this paper, two sides of the same coin handled by women that we will analyse in the light of Translation Criticism methodology.

TWO SCORES HIDDEN DURING THE COMMUNIST REGIME: CÂNTAREA BASARABIEI AND MOARTEA EROULUI BY PAUL CONSTANTINESCU

DOUĂ PARTITURI ASCUNSE DE REGIMUL COMUNIST: CÂNTAREA BASARABIEI ȘI MOARTEA EROULUI DE PAUL CONSTANTINESCU

Author(s): Sanda Hîrlav Maistorovici,Vlad Mihai Hîrlav‐Maistorovici / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 4(41)/2021

Keywords: Paul Constantinescu; Bassarabia; Moartea eroului; Cântarea Basarabiei; Liviu Rusu; forbidden compositions; communist regime;

Paul Constantinescu had close ties with musicians from Bassarabia and Bucovina from a young age. In 1936 he published in Cernăuţi the work” Costea”, on lyrics by George Coşbuc, with the support of his friends Liviu Rusu and Paul Streinul, at the Mitropolitan Silvestru’s Priningt House. In the same year, the second performance of the” Liturghia în stil psaltic” („Liturgy in Psaltic Style”) also took place in Cernăuţi, and in 1939 the first performance of the Sinfonietta was held in the same city. This paper brings to the fore two works composed by Paul Constantinescu in 1941, the year when Marshal Ion Antonescu signed the June 22nd decree that marked Romania’s entry into the war. Animated by strong patriotic emotions, the composer wrote, in a few days, two works: the cantata „Moartea eroului” (Death of the Hero) and the symphonic poem” Cântarea Basarabiei”(Singing to Bassarabia). If during the communist regime, the two works were kept well hidden in the archives of the Romanian Union of Composers and Musicologists, they were recovered for the cultural circuit after the events of 1989. „Cântarea Basarabiei” was published in the year of the Great Union Centenary at the Music Publishing House in Romania.

Serial and Aleatoric Music in the Discussion of “National and Universal” in Post-War Romania: The Solutions of Miriam Marbe and Dan Constantinescu

Serial and Aleatoric Music in the Discussion of “National and Universal” in Post-War Romania: The Solutions of Miriam Marbe and Dan Constantinescu

Author(s): Valentina Sandu-Dediu / Language(s): English / Issue: 49/2022

Keywords: socialist realism; communist nationalism; avant-garde; cosmopolitanism;

I have often spoken and written about the Romanian post-war landscape, more precisely about the period between 1950 and 1989, which was strongly influenced by socialist realism, communist nationalism, but also by synchronisation with the Western avant-garde. Romanian composition took off like never before thanks to the musicians born around 1930, who gave birth to a unique generation of Romanian composition. Among them, the voices of Miriam Marbe and Dan Constantinescu make themselves felt with discretion and elegance in two already established directions of new music: serialism and aleatorism, both proposing new and convincing solutions to these techniques. In this paper, I will discuss how these two avant-garde composers, who grappled with the spirit of their times, used intelligence, tact and an inclusive culture to try to overcome the ideological ills of the regime in which they lived and wrote music. For them, openness to the universal, to themes that circulated beyond the Iron Curtain, was vital, because they knew that the sealing off of borders led to a provincial mentality that was completely alien to them.

The Opera Libretto – Adaptation of A Canonical Literary Text, The Opera O Noapte furtunoasă by Paul Constantinescu

The Opera Libretto – Adaptation of A Canonical Literary Text, The Opera O Noapte furtunoasă by Paul Constantinescu

Author(s): Cristi Avram / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2022

Keywords: libretto; adaptation; compromise; Romanian music; I. L. Caragiale;

The opera libretto, born very often through the adaptation of large texts, is the foundation of an opera composition. What interests us is how it can independently support musicaly a story, while also preserving its quality as a literary text. On the other hand, we raise the question whether the libretto should work in the absence of the integrative, complementary background, which defines, in fact, the genre of opera - music. The first part of the study focuses on the opera libretto and the adaptation of the literary text, while the second part focuses more on Romanian music and, in particular, on the libretto of the opera O noapte furtunoasă by Paul Constantinescu.
