Summary/Abstract: Beginning with the second half of the 20th century, Romanian musicology has recorded a fast-paced modernization. Parallel with the historiographic direction, a current preoccupied with the problems of musical language itself flourished together with the effort of the coherent and systematic introduction of semiotics into musicological research and academic curricula. In this context, the author’s research work aligns with the fields of musical semiotics and narrativity. Three methods of analyzing a musical text from syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels are presented which aim to adapt to the present understanding of the musical phenomenon.
