Violeta Dinescu’s Din Cinpoiu (1986) is Rumanian for “from bagpipes played” which is also the name of an ancient dance for the elderly in Romania. The viola solo is essentially imitating the bagpipes in its character. By transforming dance motives and stylized elements, but without any direct quotes, new processes create new structural types. It is possible to recognize a kin of the bagpipes’ “sound space” in the playing of the viola, with its droning. On the other hand, we find an imaginary travel through memories in varying intensities and expressivities so that a dance “attitude,” or a dance impulse, creates a whole world of feelings. The piece is in the traditional tonality of Rumanian folk music, which is notated quartertonally.
