Summary/Abstract: The pioneers of the Romanian classical music school of composition have their origins in the 19th Century. The folklore was the primary source for their musical themes, which will converge with the Western techniques and musical language. The first Romanian piano sonata dates from this period, but the following works will increase year by year. Thus, in the 20th Century, the composers paid more attention to innovating methods and modern details. The most essential Romanian composer of the genre is George Enescu. Due to him, to his contemporaries and the next generations (from the second half of the 20th Century), the Romanian piano sonatas are aligned in the European and universal music tendencies.
