The Romanian symphony belongs to the contemporary music. It is certain that the first symphony in A major by George Stephănescu appeared in 1869, and George Enescu’s creation in the first half of the twentieth century reconsiders also the Romanian symphony from the point of view of the musical Modernism. The synchronicity of the creative efforts in the Romanian symphonic genre rises from substantial works, but only during the second half of the twentieth century. As a superior stage of the thematic development involving consecrated forms from western musical tradition, the symphony takes shape based on very strong folkloric influences approximately during the 40s. Contributions which are worth mentioning are: Mihail Jora with his Symphony in C major (1937), Nicolae Buicliu with The First Symphony – the Rustic (1939-1940), Paul Constantinescu with his symphony written in 1944 and revised in 1955, Gheorghe Dumitrescu with the first symphony composed in 1945. Before and immediately after 1950 the composers prefer mostly the rhapsodic style, the symphonic suites, the poems, the programmatic aspects and the divertimenti.
In Transylvania, the composers who form a composition school around the “Gheorghe Dima” Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca suggest, in regards to the symphonic genre, a very large stylistic diversity taking into account the newest acquisitions in the area of the musical language, as well as the ethnic diversity, which confers the multicultural aspect to the region. Composers of Romanian, Hungarian, German or Jewish origin find some of the most diverse and attractive ways of expression for those who venture to study this universe of meaning and representation of the twentieth century symphony.
Keywords: symphony, Transylvanian, 20th Century, contemporary, stylistic, multicultural, thematic.
