Summary/Abstract: The miniature piano creation of the 2nd-5th decades is deeply marked by the European tendency of neofolklorism. However, it is not the unique creative direction to have been approached; being joined by other elements, of a classical nature. That period’s representatives dwelled, more or less, upon the popular-music sources, going through the well-known stages: quotation enhancement by harmonization (Drăgoi), creation in a popular style (Constantinescu, Negrea), allusion to the popular intonations (Jora, Lazăr) or even parting from folklore and closeness to other sources (Jora, Negrea, Lazăr).
