SONATA FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO BY VLADIMIR ROTARU: PECULIARITIES OF THE MUSICAL LANGUAGE, COMPOSITION AND DRAMATURGY

Abstract

The Sonata for violin and piano by Vladimir Rotaru has long been included in the pedagogical repertoire of the class of the chamber ensemble of the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts, as it is distinguished by the originality of the compositional idea and vivid images. The Sonata is also representative from the point of view of the typical features of the author’s style associated with the influence of national folklore. This article provides an analysis of the musical language, composition and dramaturgy of this work, since the perception of the peculiarities of the figurative development and structural design of music is necessary for musicians to develop an appropriate performance version. It is concluded that the two-part structure of the Sonata reflects the combination of Doina and dance, typical of Moldovan folklore and the complex intonational and rhythmic organization gives the work a contemporary character
