Fantasy on a theme by G. Enescu for clarinet and orchestra by Oleg Negruţa

Abstract

In the present study, we propose to identify the structural elements of sound discourse, as well as their manifestation in the concept of the work Fantasy on a theme by G. Enescu for clarinet and orchestra by Oleg Negruţa. The author’s compositional records include vocal, instrumental chamber, concert and symphonic music. Most of his creations are attributed to concert and chamber music. The work that we are going to analyze serves as proof of the novelty of the genre, form and elements of writing. Fantasy as a genre represents an instrumental or orchestral work with a fairly free architecture, and the basic principle is improvisation. In this piece, we highlight one of the distinctive features of the composer, namely the folkloric stylistic direction - the use of folkloric species such as doina, sarba, hora, organically combined with elements of the classical language - genre, form, theme, etc. Equally important is the use of the quote, which O. Negruţa creatively develops and exposes in different sections, creating a thematic core, but also a sound reagent for the entire musical discourse.
