Sonatine A youthful effort, this Sonatine is evidence of the love of the composer for the horn, his «second» instrument at the Conservatory, and of the influence on him of the rhythms and modes of the folk music of his native Rumania, as well as the discovery of such composers as Ravel and Bartók. But certainly is revealed already a very personal music profile in this charming, and highly expressive work.
