The Modern Romanian Violin School: An Analytical Introduction to Manual De Vioara by Ionel Geanta and George Manoliu

This treatise examines the importance of the Manual de Vioara, written by Romanian violinists and professors Ionel Geanta and George Manoliu, and its influence for the Romanian
violins school during Communist rule. A particular challenge during this time was the political situation of Romania which greatly affected the music scene, inspiring the authors to
develop a violin method accessible for beginner violinists. This paper provides a historical background of Romania's situation under the Communist rule, and why the development of such
method was necessary and benefited the school of violin. While little information has been written regarding the authors, the development of the Romanian violin school, and the impact of
the Manual de Vioara, this survey is meant to be used as a guideline for understanding the method's structure, and its potential. Intended to prepare the beginner student for the
intermediate level in his development as a violinist, the four volumes of the Manual de Vioara cover a large variety of violin techniques as well as music history, all presented in
detailed, structured lesson plans. Ultimately, this analysis highlights the impact of this method which shaped many generations of violinists in Romania. / A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Music. / Fall Semester 2015. / November 6, 2015. / Includes bibliographical references. / Alice-Ann Darrow, University Representative; Bruce Holzman, Committee Member; Greg Sauer, Committee Member.
