THE BOOK OF SCATTERED BEADS (reflections on the narrative content, on the semantic map, and on the structural architecture: Pascal Bentoiu, “Deschideri spre lumea muzicii (Openings to the World of Music)”, Bucharest: Editura Muzicală, 1973)

Abstract

Through a simple chronological positioning, the title of this book – Openings to the World of Music – declares its bridge identity through the very date of publication – 1973. It is a year located exactly at the point of symmetry between 1971, the publication of the volume Image and Sense, and 1975, respectively, the year in which Musical Thought appears. Thus, concludes what in my consciousness immediately finds a title – The Hermeneutic Trilogy – by the composer Pascal Bentoiu.
