  Article:   MEDITATIONS FOR CLARINET SOLO BY VALENTIN TIMARU – MUSICAL ANALYSIS.

  Abstract:  The work Meditations (for solo clarinet in A), by Valentin Timaru, is dedicated to Ioan Goilă and was composed in 1997. At the basis of the sonorous discourse elaboration there is a two measures “thematic nucleus”, elaborated in a folkloristic spirit; and the nucleus is preceded by an extended introduction of “thematic research”. The thematic segment produces a series of strict variations (4) and, mostly, free ones that are true sonorous “meditations”. They precede and follow, as well, the coming out of the generating nucleus. The modal-chromatic discourse imposes that the intonation reference point be the augmented second, and, as well, the intervallic conflict between the augmented fourth and the perfect fourth (and, its complementary, the perfect fifth). The “thematic” segment that generated them nourishes all these. An accurate analysis may reveal the omnipresence of intervallic thematic elements, as well as the “means’ savings” that are the basis of the elaboration of this musical work that became a reference point of the solo clarinet concert repertory.
