Abstract
In the article, the author analyzes some piano pieces written by the composers of the Republic of Moldova from the standpoint of determining how genre peculiarities and musical language elements of Moldavian folk songs and folk dances are reflected in them. In this light, an analysis of miniatures by Gh.Neaga, A.Starcea, C.Rusnac, and other Moldavian composers, which are a part of pedagogical repertoire in the country’s musical education institutions, is performed. The purpose of this article is to elucidate various forms of manifestation of national groundedness in the creations of Moldavian composers, the ways in which these forms evolved, and to characterize the evolution of the composers’ attitude towards the folk base of musical material. An examination of folk elements in the musical language of autochthonous piano pieces allows one to elucidate the national specificities of piano music by the composers of the Republic of Moldova, its originality and artistic uniqueness. The author shows conclusively that a familiarity with folk primary sources and a skillful modeling of their elements assists in creating a correct treatment of the piece performed. Key words: Moldavian composers, piano music, cantilena character, virtuoso character, Moldavian folk music genres, folk modes
