Sonata in 1962 (piano and violin, op. 14) but shows including
String Quartet with its cycle of six pieces (1953-1982), whose last four share a number of opus (27a-27d). In his eight symphonies
(1965-1987), the last three explore the close links between music and other arts. The sixth, entitled
Culori (
Colors), is devoted to painting. Each movement has a title:

His music scene is rich, inspired by many classical writers first and foremost being William Shakespeare (The Taming of the Shrew

Hamlet, 1958;
the two gentlemen of Verona , 1960;
Winter's Tale, 1964;

On two occasions, P. Bentoiu operates about his music for his operas. Thus, for
Jertfirea Iphigeniei (
the sacrifice of Iphigenia , 1968), the first radio opera composed in Romania, the composer uses the partition called
Aulis Iphigenia în , three years earlier. The following year,
Hamlet, opera in two acts, took the stage music of the same name (1958). The Opera de Marseille moved, under the musical direction of Reynald Giovaninetti, the first staged production of this lyrical work (April 26, 1974). A first opera based Molière,
Amorul doctor, was composed in 1964. Eight
song cycles for soprano and singing with orchestral accompaniment (
Cantec new , 1962) illustrate the rest of his catalog dedicated to the human voice. But Pascal Bentoiu is now known for his work and orchestration of restitution. It performs the instrumentation
