Pascal Bentoiu – Eminesciana III. A “Concerto for orchestra” or the dissimulation of a symphony?

Summary/Abstract: The neoclassical stylistic orientation generated a synthetic compositional concept where the architectonic structures and the musical genres belonging to the Western European tradition merged with the new serial, modal or serial-modal grammars developed during the 20th century. By definition a compositional “hybrid”, the concerto for orchestra – established by Bartók's model as well as by Petrassi's cycle of eight fundamental works – caught quite early the eye of the Romanian composers. In this respect, Pascal Bentoiu was one of those who highlighted the symphonic dimension of the genre from the standpoint of the modalserial lexis.
