PIANO PIECES BY MARIAN STÂRCEA IN THE REPERTOIRE OF PIANO STUDENTS AT THE AMTFA

Abstract

The article analyzes two piano works of M. Stârcea – Variations in G major and Two Preludes, which are used in the pedagogical practice of the AMTFA. The author thoroughly examines the features of the composition, dramaturgy, and musical language of these pieces, identifies the performance difficulties, and offers an interpretation option. It is concluded that the high methodical and didactic potential of these works by M. Stârcea is due to the synthesis of the classical-romantic traditions of the genres of variations and prelude with the musical language of contemporary Moldovan compositional creation.
