INSTRUMENTAL MINIATURES BY THE COMPOSER GHEORGHE NEAGA: BETWEEN THE OLD AND THE NEW

Abstract

The miniature occupies an important place in Gheorghe Neaga’s instrumental chamber repertoire. Th e number of his small creations is impressive, being found both in the teaching repertoire of artistic education institutions and in the artistsinstrumentalists’ concert repertoire. Dedicated to piano, violin and piano or other instruments, the pieces refl ect in a perfect measure the author’s artistic predilections, more or less infl uenced by the evolution of compositional techniques. On this line, the proposed objective in this article is to examine some unelucidated miniatures through the old-new binomial spectrum.
