The composer Gheorghe Dima and his lieder creation on Mihai Eminescu poetry

Summary/Abstract: The end of the XIXth century and the first two decades of the XXth are influenced in Transilvania by the remarkable personality of the composer, conductor, singer, professor, piano player, translator of literary texts, organizer of Romanian musical life from Transylvania, Gheorghe Dima. In the lied creation, Gheorghe Dima has the power to raise suggestions, to stir certain representations, his originality being unquestionable. Optimistic by excellence, caring for truth and beauty, his creation reflects these attitudes, as the composer, in his work, filters through his own personality the entire range of experiences and knowledge gathered in his life. The peak of the lieder creation is achieved by Dima starting with the year 1896, when at short intervals writes four lieder on Mihai Eminescu poetry. After 1900 there followed two more.
