Doctor in Musicology at University of Music in Bucharest. SEVEN DAYS, op.56 Ã concerto for trombone and orchestra was composed in 1991. Made of seven sections (the last has a revising structure), the work belongs to the pilgrim hypostases of Liviu DanceanuÇs composition line, a hypostasis issued aut of the desire to build up syntheses, to realize a sonorous whole by the harmonization of some antinomies, of some contrasts.

Thus, to the ascending spectrum of the natural harmonics the composer opposed the descending spectrum of the artificial harmonics. At the same time, Liviu Danceanu reunited in the same work the expositive music with the progressing music, the repetion music with the evolutional (transforming) music, the discontinuous music with the continuous, torential one. However, in SEVEN DAYS is feeled the nostalgy of the other virtual or present hypostases of the voyager composer: the travelerÇs, missionaryÇs, explorerÇs or conquistadorÇs nostalgy, even if the will and decision are hose of the pilgrim.
