THE BEGINNINGS OF PROFESSIONAL MUSIC IN ALBANIA

    The instrumental miniature in Albanian music is related to the beginnings of the professional music composition. The instrumental miniature in general and especially the miniature for piano have got very rich history compared to the other genres , starting with the first composition of Martin Gjoka  “March in D major” for piano. The development of small forms at the time, although its simple musical language , shows the effort to create an Albanian national music. As to the period after the Second World War, the development of music had a new momentum  and during this time were created a big number of works which were called miniatures. The priority to the miniatures in general and the miniature for piano in particular has got different reasons , but the main are the creation of a music education system which brought about  the opening of the piano class and the necessity of developing  a national pedagogical and concert repertoire.
