The Musical Moment

The form of the musical work is done like an important dialog between the orchestra and solo instrument, respecting the following pattern: A-B1-C-B2. „A” and „C” being conducted by the orchestra, while the "B" noted moments are for the soloist, accompanied by the orchestra. (The recording for "Teleenciclopedia" show has only the „B2” section.) Harmonically and melodically, the scores distinguish itself by the modulation richness (Romantic style), chromatic passages, the contrast between melodic fragments build exclusively with jumps and gradually went. The best part remembered by the audience is the introductory piano section, composed on an unusual chord progression (D major chord - E\flat Chord with additional sixth as musical delay of the fifth, demanding to adapt the version of major tonality, the bass being I-II6-5 în D major, with a Neapolitan sixth for the second step of the chord progression. If the tempo indication of the score is firmly respected, the total time of interpretation is 7 minutes. ==Instrumentation==

• „Teleenciclopedia” television transmission, that made the piece widely known to the television public. The starting credits of the early shows used an excerpt of the original recording. From 1990, that fragment was re-orchestrated several times for electronic instruments, the immediate noticeable difference being the piano section, the electronic piano timbre being repeatedly changed several times. • The orchestra of the Mieluță Bibescu clarinetist recorded a short version, entitled Teleenciclopedia. It's a new slightly different interpretation of the piano solo, followed by a hybrid improvisation style of gypsy jazz, the cymbal sounds are overlapped by jazz harmonies. • Costel Ciofu, manele singer, released his own version of the familiar fragment with lyrics this time, again under the name Teleenciclopedia. The solo piano is now transferred to his solo voice, and the lyrics are written in accordance to the prosodic pattern demanded by the melodic phrases, widely spread in jazz - vocalese genre –, previously experimented in the manele genre. ==Bibliography==
