His art singular makes him a major figure in the Romanian music of the second half of the century. Native of the region relatively spared from the point of view and cultural identity, Maramures, in northern Transylvania, Tiberiu Olah (in Hungarian Tibor Olah) was able to transcend the archaic art to find a language is intensely personal and attractive, without pastiche or imitation folk modernist. His writing attracted controlled by the abundance of his ideas. His

Fourth Symphony, subtitled "Giocosa" , although written in the last decade of the twentieth century, refuses easy pseudo-modern while remaining easy listening. The score captive by its theatricality constantly wavering between tragic and comic. This oscillation creates a grotesque little complacent and tinged with anxiety. The third and final movement is a beautiful desk in percussion, creating a chaos from which rises a Ode to Joy shy and soon drowned in a sea of glas. This coda funeral is it saved by a rope ultimate prank? At each decision.
