„MULTIMOBILE ET BOUCLES”: CONSIDERAŢII ASUPRA FINALULUI CONCERTULUI PENTRU ACORDEON ŞI ORCHESTRĂ DE AUREL STROE

Author(s): Petruţa-Maria Măniuţ / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2010

The value of the music composed by Aurel Stroe is attributed not only to the valuable thinking approach which the composer creates before effectively composing the sonorous work of art, but especially to the ideational constellation left behind by every musical work composed by him. In the last three concerts composed in the last decades of his composition work, Aurel Stroe developed a composition outlook which crucially oversteps the borders of music, amplifying the soloist-related metaphor beyond the limits brought to by the composition work of the XXth century.

ELEMENTE ENESCIENE ÎN CVINTETUL CU PIAN DE TUDOR CIORTEA

Author(s): Petre Marcel Vârlan / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2010

George Enescu, a founder of the modern Romanian composition school, had a major influence on the Romanian musical work due to his view on composition. Tudor Ciortea, an important composer of the 70s and 80s, was one of the musicians who took over aspects specific to George Enescu’s style. An important part of Tudor Ciortea’s composition work (1903-1982) depicts the assimilation of the elements specific to the Enescian musical language adapted to the Transylvanian composer’s particular style. In Cvintetul cu pian (The Piano Quintet) by T. Ciortea one can identify, as if reproduced under a musical shape, the composer’s study on Sonata a III-a pentru pian şi vioară (The IIIrd Sonata for Piano and Violin) op. 2, which was published.

TRADIŢIA LĂUTĂREASCĂ DIN REPUBLICA MOLDOVA: ISTORIE ŞI CONTEMPORANEITATE. TEZE PRELIMINARII

Author(s): Diana Bunea / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2010

The study treats lautar tradition from Moldova, which is an outstanding musical-cultural phenomenon and a component part of traditional musical culture from Moldova. Nowadays the lautar tradition preserved well in the northern and southern part of Moldova. The research contains references to different aspects of the lautar phenomenon, including bands, lautars’ musical instruments and others. We think that the establishment of lautar tradition’s role and importance, not only as a part of our traditional culture, but also in a much larger culturalgeographical area is one of the priorities of the local ethnomusicology.

Cherubic Hymn (Op. 5) in D Major by Gavriil Musicescu: Musical Analysis

Author(s): Ionuţ-Gabriel Nastasă / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

This study describes one of the key compositions of Gavriil Musicescu (1847-1903), namely the Cherubic Hymn in D major, op. 5, for mixed chorus, a song in the second part of the Divine Liturgy, called “the Liturgy of the Faithful”. This paper highlights the analytical music elements starting at scoring milestones in the life and works of music composer, teacher and conductor Gavriil Musicescu, and goes on to describe the main elements of musical language found in the music track announced. Cherubic Hymn in D major is designed based on the structure of a choral concert, consisting of three parts, but atypical tempos: first two parts with slow movements and fast-moving third part, in keeping with the message of the religious text. Gavriil Musicescu uses the classical style of harmonization: tonal-functional, fixed and mobile accurate nuances, thoroughly learned from the study of Russian religious choral music.

Death in Bayreuth-An Unknown Document About the Death of Franz Liszt

Author(s): Klára Hamburger / Language(s): English Issue: 180/2005

In 2004, Mrs István Czétényi, née Márta Maróth, presented the Hungarian Franz Liszt Society with valuable papers. The documents had originally belonged to Jolán Gerster (1889–1957), who had been Mrs. Czétényi’s own beloved piano teacher and a cousin of her paternal grandmother. Between 1932 and 1944, Jolán Gerster had served as the secretary of the Liszt Society in its “last but one incarnation”.

All is Full of Love. Noise w przestrzeni społecznej i intymnej

Author(s): Justyna Stasiowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 114/2013

The author takes up the subject of noise in a short historical introduction to sound composition and the materiality of instruments, following the example set by Lugio Russolo’s manifesto L’arte dei rumori. She notes that noise is a widely recognized phenomenon, though it has not been fully theoreticized. Stasiowska provides various definitions and examples of how noise acts on the listener and their senses. The author sums up as follows: “So noise exists as a strategy for amplifying undesired elements. Being confronted by a multiplicity of grating sounds forces us to contemplate what are regarded as errors, or fixed perceptual structures”.

Liszt in Esztergom – a Festival in his Memory

Author(s): Paul Merrick / Language(s): English Issue: 06/2011

“It is a quarter to 3. The last Amen of the Mass has just been pronounced... and I am coming to kiss your hands... while telling you that everything went according to your wishes, and that God blessed me. My Mass began at 1.30. As I had estimated, the whole work lasts only 45 to 50 minutes at most, watch in hand. The performance was perfect, even admirable in several places – without the least little hitch... In all, we were more than 130 singers and players. Unless I am greatly mistaken, the general impression produced by the work is beyond what I could have flattered myself I would obtain... For the moment, I want only to thank and bless you for having inspired me with good thoughts and helped me to work for God!” So wrote Liszt from Esztergom on 31 August 1856 in a letter to Princess Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein in Weimar. He was describing the performance of his Gran Mass during the ceremony of the consecration of the Cathedral – the occasion for which the work had been commissioned by the Primate of Hungary, archbishop János Scitovsky. Gran is the German name for Esztergom, and in Hungary the work is referred to by its Hungarian name: Esztergomi Mise.

DISCOURSE ON THE COMPARATIVE METHOD

Author(s): Haplea Horea / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2011

Established as authoritary discipline in humanist sciences, particularly in anthropology, the comparativism will generate surprising evolutions and will deffine itself as an efficent investigation method, reaching a certain level of research depth. The essay is structured in two sections. The first one circumscribes some general coordinates of the comparativism viewed as a method, trying to clarify, as much as possible, its qualities and its limits. In the second section I accomplished a translation of these principles in the interpretative activity, applying the comparative method in the main territories of the musical morphology, particularly focusing on their rendering in piano interpretation. I also tried in this essay a diachronic approach towards the comparative method, as it is conditioned by multiple socio-cultural and historical parameters. Verified, validated and honored with obvious results, the comparative method continues to keep its efficiency in musical interpretation by the intimation of details, the creation of interpretative models and the marks it can offer in stylistic and historical approaches. We believe that the essay can offer certain conceptual and attitudinal articulations for this research area.
