Summary/Abstract: Georges Enesco, performer, conductor and composer, represents the indispensable reference for the Romanian composers. His propose of a specific musical school was a solution both for traditionalists and modernists; on the one hand, in the case of composers who over appreciated the native Romanian space, he was seen like a justification for their own folklore’s affiliation; on the other hand, those composers who depreciate the native space, could justify themselves as followers of Enesco’s modernism. But, in the two cases, Enesco represented the “right” solution.
