    VINCENZO BELLINI, OPERA BEATRICE DI TENDA, FINALE SECONDO
    Beatrice di Tenda is a tragedia lirica in due atti on Felice Romani's libretto after the historic tragedy Beatrice Tenda. From the entire opera I chose to analyze the final part. In comparison with the other scenes, this ending, part of act II, scene 2, is shorter, but it is remarkably expressive, with a balanced construction. The scene is structured into four large fragments. It is remarkable the gradation mingling of voices: one can notice how the composer starts from presenting the theme with one voice and eventually combines three voices. ...

    ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY AND COLOUR CHANGES IN PAINTING
    Foundations, linkers and pigments are the alphabet in the complex and diverse language of painting. Not knowing the materials and technology often leads to processes of darkening, graying, opacity or blackening of the painting layer. All the materials that painters use are subject to modification from the moment of their use. Part of these processes develop regardless of the painter's skills but by studying the theory thoroughly he may be able to predict them. All too often the reasons for graying are problems with the primer, applying painting layer on a wet bottom layer, excessive use of turpentine oil etc. Opacity is even graying of all tones of the painting. If this occurs at certain places only, then this is a defect. Blackening of the painting layer is mainly due to formation of copper salts as a result of improper mixing ofpaints as well as quick drying of the oil. ...

    THE MONUMENTAL ENSEMBLE FROM TÂRGU JIU. HISTORY AND SYMBOLIC INTERPRETATIONS
    The universal innovator of sculpture, one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, who demonstrated that modern art while maintaining the fundamental characteristics, namely rationality, harmony, balance, measure, finds sources long before the period in which Mediterranean civilization was defined by Celery classical statuary, is Constantin Brancusi. The monumental complex of Tdrgu-Jiu, one of Brancusi masterpieces, can be regarded as a manifestation of ancient Romanian traditions related to the cult of the dead and a dedication to heroism. The assembly begins on the shores of Jiu river, symbol of the journey of no return, as water never flows only in one direction. Roundtable stone reminiscent of the meals for the dead unsoumoned or those who come to the great days. The seats, located far away from the table, are like silent shadows made for those that are not. ...

    INCURSIONS IN LATIN-AMERICAN MUSIC IN THE XXth CENTURY
    After great stylistic research, a period of true synthesis appears in the Latin-American music around the half of the XXth century. The national avant-garde features, imbued with personal esthetical approaches, are valued in a superior, anew and well-structured manner. The varied instrumental colours, with folk music echoes, are impressive, thus giving contour to the whole compositional process of national origin. ...

    TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENTS OF FOREIGN ORIGIN WITHIN THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC TRADITION OF THE MEGLENO-ROMANIANS IN CERNA
    The Megleno-Romanians represent a particular part of the Romance-Language-speaking ethnography of the Eastern areas of Europe. Originating in northern Greece, they moved to Romania in the early twentieth century, hoping for a life free from the struggles and shortages of requirements that they had faced on their native territories. Currently, in the village of Cerna, the Megleno-Romanians boast a musical repertoire that is predominantly in their own language. This has led me to the premise that, within the context of the family, there has always existed there a pure Megleno-Romanian repertoire that has circulated orally until today. However their cohesiveness as an ethnic group in the village of Cerna has resulted in repertorial uniformity, since their songs are sung and their games played by all residents, regardless of their place of origin. Not only has the repertoire suffered from a lack of creative input, but it has also suffered from a lack of players of the instruments they consider traditional. The repertoire was attenuated by having to be adapted to the technical specifics of the performers on the tigulca, whistle, large pipe, and tambura for whom the songs were not written. Thus those songs and game melodies which could only be performed on the Gaida were lost. ...

    THE AESTHETICS OF NATIONAL COMMUNISM IN ROMANIA. THE OFFICIAL REPRESENTATION IN VISUAL ARTS (1965 - 1989)
    The Romanian cultural word was irremediable marked by the communist regime of Nicolae Ceausescu's that started as a breath of fresh air for the artistic domain, and ended to be oppressive also because of the imposed aesthetics. From the early 70s the figure of Ceausescu and of his wife Elena, started to be more and more present as a subject in the cultural press of the time and in exhibition. By the 80s, the dogmatic formulas of representation were supposed to be ideologically accurate and were subjected to scrutiny to a committee formed by artist and official of the communist party. On festive occasions the head of the Artists Union had a public positions to encourage the production of works in which the Romanian ruler to appear as an exemplary hero of the nation. Such analyze of context has the purpose to give us a wider picture of Romanian cultural background that can help to better understand the premises of the Romanian art scene after the fall of the communist regime. ...

    WINTER ON THE STEPPES: TRISTIA 2.187-20; 3.10.7-16 & 58-60; 3.12.1-2
    We begin with the premise that the text of Ovid's Tristia is much more corrupt than has been imagined. To support our thesis we discuss Tristia 3.10.7-16, the passage in which Ovid describes the arrival of winter in Dobrogea. Hand in hand with our arguments for textual change we also discuss the literary merits of the emendations. This will take us into the territory of Ovid's overall poetic strategy in his exile poetry. We begin by calling into doubt received assumptions regarding Ovid's arrival in Dobrogea and the weather that greeted him. ...

    FEMININE FORM BETWEEN SYMBOL AND REPRESENTATION
    Since the first presence of the human body in art is that of a woman, namely a female nude, I think it might not seem too hazardous to state that art history starts with the image of a woman. Female forms - transformed or exalted - were always present in the art image. For artists and generally speaking also for the society, the woman has represented since the oldest times "the model", or "the ideal of beauty". But as a reaction against the rigid and restrictive standards the feminine beauty ideal had imposed in art and society, the U.S.A. witnessed in the 1960s the rise of the feminist movement, one of the main art movements following the Second World War. ...

    CEHOV EXERCISE. ELOQUENCE OF SILENCE
    Pantomime is one of the fields being studied at the acting school. This paper brings forth a case study based on the play before the play, focusing on the theatrical piece 'Three sisters' by A.

    AN ATYPICAL HEROINE IN A MASTERPIECE: MANON FROM "MANON LESCAUT" BY PUCCINI
    Even if Manon Lescaut was made towards the middle of the last decade of the nineteenth century and even if the literary "model" belongs to Prevost who created it more than a century ago (1731), Manon is the image of the woman who finds her place in the reality of any historical moment; not by her story, but by everything that defines her as a woman, both emotionally and morally. Manon is Puccini's first heroine not placed at one extreme or another; she is neither the positive model nor the negative one, she is just a genuine "heroine", genuine in all that is admirable and everything that is doomed in a woman by society, whatever the society. ...
