Arta pianistică basarabeană la confl uența secolelor XIX-XX
Bessarabian piano art at the confluence of the XIX-XX centuries

Summary/Abstract: Since the end of the XIX century — beginning of the XX century, the musical life in Bessarabia is being intensifi ed due to the artistic activity of some professional musicians with studies at Russian and Western European conservatories, thus creating standards of musical education and interpretive mastery with a signifi cant impact on the professional training of pianists. Th e fi rst musical institutions appear: M. Voloshinovskaya, who had studied in Vienna, opened a private school in 1891 in Chisinau. Previously, in 1890, a music school, accessible to all social classes, was opened at the initiative of Vasile Gutor, born in Chișinău and having graduated from the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in Professor K. Davydov’s cello class. At the same time, premises of the national school of composition are manifested; the fi rst works for piano being made in the style and forms of Western schools adapted to the native oral sound stratum. As a result of the adaptation and the valorization of musical folklore, professional music is being developed in the Bessarabian area.
