A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SONATA FORM (I) THE BAROQUE SONATA
In this short study, we aim to define the typologies of the sonata form in the music of the Baroque period, alongside the perspective of some well-known authors (Charles Rosen, James Webster or William Newman) and to propose two analyses – the Sonata in G minor, K. 450 composed by D. Scarlatti and part I from the Sonata in A major, Wq. 55/4 by C. Ph. E. Bach. An interesting point of this study is the connection and the transition from the monothematic sonata form to the bithematic sonata form
Book Review: VALENTIN TIMARU - ON MUSIC AND BEAUTY IN ESSAYISTIC STYLE
Among Valentin Timaru’s theoretical works, we encounter three volumes Aforisme: comentarii și confesiuni (Aphorisms: Comments and Confessions), Muzica noastră cea spre ființă (Our Life-Giving Music), and Frumosul artistic și fațetele sale subiective (Artistic Beauty and Its Subjective Facets), which are approached contextually, in an essayistic, personalized style. The author’s manner of speech often encloses subjective aspects gathered during his lifetime experience, but nevertheless the proposed debate involves a vast knowledge of various stringent (general) artistic, artistic-musical, philosophical, aesthetic, and psychological issues (behavioural conducts and human feelings).
In essayistic style[1] because not all aspects required in the elaboration of such a study are observed ad litteram. The large sizes of the works enable us to approach their subjects from various perspectives, advising the reader in perceiving the themes microscopically as well as synoptically.
The manner in which the presented works are approached is synonymous to a review, as it includes summarizing configurations of the revealing ideas depicted by the author. The text is scattered with the subchapters’ titles (e b) cumulated on the contextual level, or themes, expressions, terminologies which hold an evidently important role among the themes debated by the author.

ANALYTICAL VIEW ON THE LYRICAL ORATORIO CÂNTECE DE VREMUIRE (SONGS OF CHANGE) BY VALENTIN TIMARU
The lyrical oratorio Songs of Change for mixed choir, children’s choir, soloists and orchestra, was composed in the year 1979 and revised in 1982. The text is written by the composer, in the spirit of the Romanian popular verses, and depicts essential scenes for the human life: birth, wedding, death. The work is structured in five parts (Abua – Prolog, La curțile jocului, La porțile dorului, Ciobănaș de la miori and Descântecul zorilor – Epilog), each movement resonating with significant events in the trajectory of life. Thus, birth, childhood, wedding and death are suggested by lullabies, children’s songs, wedding songs and funeral songs
