LIVIU GLODEANU’S “MIKROKOSMOS”: AN INTRODUCTION

Abstract

The works that great composers wrote for children often provide us with the unique chance to enter their laboratory. It is also the case of Liviu Glodeanu’s collection of nine pieces for piano, which reveals some of his characteristic features: a music instantly attracting notice, the option for polymodal chromaticism and essentialized expression, the constant appeal to symmetry and clearly defined architectures.
