Abstract

The present article examines pieces for piano written by Moldavian composers Ștefan and Gheorghe Neaga. Created in the 1930s and 1950s, they are representative examples of the genre of miniature in the national music of the 20th century. The pieces share a number of common traits: they have a solid national basis, are rooted in the genres of Moldavian folklore and are characterized by simplicity of the musical language and convincing compositional and dramaturgic developments. Figurative-emotional and intonational brightness of these miniatures, which were written at a high professional level, determined their viability and their ample potential for being included in the pedagogical repertoire. Key words: Ștefan Neaga, Gheorghe Neaga, piece for piano, pedagogic repertoire, Moldavian folklore, piano texture.
