Abstract
In a similar way to his composer colleagues, most of them from Bucharest, Țăranu consistently followed a European path, which at the same time has solid roots in the Transylvanian traditions and in Enescu`s composition. In my text I will refer to the whole generation of the sixties, their mentors and the radical views of the young composer. Education by composers who began their careers in interwar Romania, Enescu`s legacy and decisive steps towards the avant-garde are the main layers of Țăranu`s compositions. It was important for me to integrate this clear voice into the choir of his contemporary Romanian composers, many of whom were good, solid friends.

Keywords: mentors from the interwar period, Enescu`s legacy, postwar avant-garde
