LE LUDIQUE – UN TRAIT CARACTÉRISTIQUE CONTRASTIF EN MUSIQUE
The Playfulness - a Contrastive Characteristic Feature in Music

Summary/Abstract: The text comprises a series of comments related to what we feel as the primary esthetic nature, on a background of joy: the play. When relating to music, playfulness, in particular, significantly distinguishes itself from other types of artistic expressions, such as the entire field of visual arts (plastic arts, sculpture, theatre, cinema, multimedia), even if between them and music one can trace specific common elements of harmony and rhythm. At the precise moment when the background of joy amplifies itself and relates to a chamber or to a street environment, certain derivative comic- or even carnival-like elements may appear. However, when joy is no longer present, although the structure is still the same, the expression alters itself by receiving different accumulative features, starting from opposing (competition), odd, abstract, without a specific denomination, going through hideous, burlesque, ambiguous, up until monstruos or even grim elements. The opposite direction is also possible, on the path of a disintegration by means of aeration, leading to typical surrounding areas.
