About the “Inner Beauty” in the Life and Creation of George Enescu

Summary/Abstract: The study starts from the outline of possible answers to difficult questions such as: “is there inner beauty in music?”; “if so, its origin is of aesthetic or extra esthetic nature?”; “can we rank works of art by applying extra esthetic criteria?”; “does the old relationship Good-Truth-Beautiful remain an ideal without reverberations in reality?” Then, significant aspects of Enescu’s life and creation are discussed and assessed from the perspective of these answers. The resulted decantation (the relation “existence-destiny”, “authenticity as offerings of “truth” in creation”; “love and responsibility for the other as duty of consciousness”; “affirming the convergence of values beyond time”) emphasizes the profound significance of Enescu’ music, being also the key to a better perception and, implicitly, understanding of his music.
