Mișcarea muzical-artistică din Basarabia în contextul noilor realități create de Marea Unire
The musical-artistic movement in Bessarabia in the context of the new realities created by the Great Union

Summary/Abstract: The present research attempts to shape the evolution of Bessarabian musical culture in the context of the new realities, marked by the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, consecrated on 27 March, 1918. The climate generated by the great event accelerated the process of modernizing society, ensuring qualitative transformations in the fields of education, science and culture. During its historical course, the Bessarabian artistic movement has an ascending evolution, in which the musical art seeks its identity and its way of affirmation. Under the new conditions, the contact of the Bessarabian public with the European sound universe, in general, and with the Romanian one, in particular, is accentuated. In the series of Bessarabian musical culture manifestations, some dominant ones are highlighted: the activities of concerted character, the compositional creation and the musical-artistic education. A special role in the promotion of the national and universal academic music in Bessarabia was played by George Enescu’s tournaments in Chisinau and in the big cities in the region. The actions undertaken during 1918–1940 supported the aesthetic advancement through music of the artistic life in the province, ingraining it with superior professionalism that had strong reverberations on the climate and dynamics of the musical art on the left bank of the Prut river.
