Abstract:
The modern era is becoming biased towards composers’ growing interest in instrumental music. The orientations towards neoclassicism, impressionism, expressionism, in which folk influences make their presence felt, enrich the diversity of languages and genres, on tonal or tono-modal structures, animated by the combination of folk rhythms. The most important founding member of this branching structure is the string quartet, to whom the Renaissance gave the opportunity to be guided on the road to accessibility. Under the strong influence of orientalism and Byzantineism, the territory that would become Greater Romania at the end of World War I will gradually know, since then, the Western influences imported through access to education and the diversified offer of the repertoire of famous soloists, who performed on the stages of large cultural centers such as Bucharest, Iasi and Timișoara but not only. This paper aims at a sketch of the repertoire retrospective of the creations that have laid pages of undeniable value in the history of Romanian music, in terms of string quartet.
