Modal Chromatism proper to the “Triple Concerto” by Paul Constantinescu

Abstract

Accomplished in the year of the composer’s death, the “Triple Concert for Violin, Violoncello, Piano and Orchestra” is the culmination of Paul Constantinescu’s creation, marking the moment in which his composing thinking reached essentiality – through conceiving his own thematic material of folkloric-Byzantine resonance, sublimation – through internalized content and formal concision, synthesizing – between the inspiration source within the autochthonous modal potential and the classical means of musical treatment.
