ASPECTS OF THE USE OF ORNAMENTS IN THE REPERTORY OF THE FIDDLER-VIOLINIST FILIP TODIRAȘCU

Abstract

In order to understand the interpretive art of folklore violinists we must start from studying the interpretation manner reflected in their repertoire. Moldovan musical folklore, which contains a variety of genres and kinds, has, at all times, been a source of inspiration for musicians. Filip Todirașcu was a great folklore violinist from the central area of Moldova. His repertoire comprises a huge number of works (over 300). Each creation, when executed, was "wrapped", according to its kind, in certain decorative ornamental patterns corresponding to his spiritual, sentimental state. Studying the aspects of the execution manner, characteristic of Filip Todirașcu, will enable us to enhance the knowledge in this field and encourage young violinists who want to acquire the traditional style of interpretation.
