Among them there are two piano trios: the first is the Trio for clarinet, French horn and piano, reflecting the tendency towards non-traditional ensembles, that prevailed in Moldovan music in the 1980-90s, and in 2004 the composer created a trio for the classical composition — violin, cello, piano.This article is dedicated to the Trio for clarinet, French horn and piano written in 1993. The author’s purpose was to identify the interpretation peculiarities of this work’s composition. Within the a two-part cycle based on tempo and figurative contrast, O. Negruta created an individualized structure that synthesizes the classical and folklore principles of composition.
