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.
