THE SCHOLAR MUSICAL REPERTOIRE IN THE

INTERWAR NATIONAL PEDAGOGY DEBATE

Mihaela MODORAN1

Abstract: Beyond certain inherent limits, the Romanian interwar

pedagogical thought stands out through the modernism of the conveyed

message and through the multiple valuating suggestions it offers. The school

musical repertoires is the object of study for many theorists who, guessing

the educational value of the Romanian folk song, keep close to support the

fundamental ideas of the musical education process and the folklore values.

The repertoire compounds, the selection, the didactic technology of

transmitting the songs are few of the problems we have in integrating the

musical creation in the educational process.

Key words: musical repertoire, musical education, musical pedagogy,

interwar period.

1. Introduction

The musical repertoire problem is very wide and complex. The repertoire compounds,

the selection of the songs, the didactic technology of transmitting all those, the

conditions imposed to raise everything at highest level, expressive interpretation are

just a few of the problems we have even today in integrating the musical creation in the

educational process. The main objectives of the present study are to organize the

previous theories of the representatives of the musical pedagogical interwar teaching

and to identify the practical experiences to be used and developed in order to capitalize

at a higher level the musical creation inside the musical-educational process. We

focused over this interwar period as we consider it a very significant for the Romanian

musical pedagogy by its success along the European period and the adjustment of these

tendencies to the national characteristics. As the musical-educational system is based on

the folklore values of the time, it manages to confirm an important authentic personality

in the musical educational Congress in Prague where it is considered “an inaccessible

pattern for most of the European traditional schools” (Vasile, 1995, p. 13).
