TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO THE PIANO SONATA IN THE CREATION OF COMPOSERS FROM THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA ON THE BORDERLINE OF THE 20TH-21ST CENTURIES

Summary/Abstract: In the present article the author reviews the piano sonatas penned by national composers on the borderline of the 20th-21stcenturies. On the basis of the Piano Sonata by A. Fyodorova, the Sonata-Fantasia by V. Zagorsky, the Sonata-Improvisationby V. Rotaru and De Sonata Meditor by G. Ciobanu, one can disclose the principal tendencies of development of the genrereferring to strengthening the individualization of treating the artistic concept of each composition, as well as to a growinginterest in modern composition techniques. Th e choice of the analyzed sonatas was determined by the fact that the above-mentionedpieces are now fi rmly established in both the educational and competition repertoire of the undergraduate, graduateand doctoral students of the Academy of Music, Th eatre and Fine Arts of the Republic of Moldova as well as in the local pianists’concert practice. Th e inference is drawn that, during the respective period, composers tend to write one-part compositionsand treat the sonata concept freely.
