On the Bardeen-Petterson Effect in black hole accretion discs

description: We investigate the effect of black hole spin on warped or misaligned accretion discs - in particular i) whether or not the inner disc edge aligns with the black hole spin and ii) whether the disc can maintain a smooth transition between an aligned inner disc and a misaligned outer disc, known as the Bardeen-Petterson effect. We employ high resolution 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of $α$-discs subject to Lense-Thirring precession, focussing on the bending wave regime where the disc viscosity is smaller than the aspect ratio $α\lesssim H/R$. We first address the controversy in the literature regarding possible steady-state oscillations of the tilt close to the black hole. We successfully recover such oscillations in 3D at both small and moderate inclinations ($\lesssim 15^{\circ}$), provided both Lense-Thirring and Einstein precession are present, sufficient resolution is employed, and provided the disc is not so thick so as to simply accrete misaligned. Second, we find that discs inclined by more than a few degrees in general steepen and break rather than maintain a smooth transition, again in contrast to previous findings, but only once the disc scale height is adequately resolved. Finally, we find that when the disc plane is misaligned to the black hole spin by a large angle, the disc 'tears' into discrete rings which precess effectively independently and cause rapid accretion, consistent with previous findings in the diffusive regime ($α\gtrsim H/R$). Thus misalignment between the disc and the spin axis of the black hole provides a robust mechanism for growing black holes quickly, regardless of whether the disc is thick or thin.

description: The dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) of the Milky Way are among the most attractive targets for indirect searches of dark matter. In this work, we reconstruct the dark matter annihilation (J-factor) and decay profiles for the newly discovered dSph Reticulum II. Using an optimized spherical Jeans analysis of kinematic data obtained from the Michigan/Magellan Fiber System (M2FS), we find Reticulum II's J-factor to be among the largest of any Milky Way dSph. We have checked the robustness of this result against several ingredients of the analysis. Unless it suffers from tidal disruption or significant inflation of its velocity dispersion from binary stars, Reticulum II may provide a unique window on dark matter particle properties.

description: Comparative 16S rRNA sequencing was used to evaluate phylogenetic relationships among selected strains of ammonia- and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. All characterized strains were shown to be affiliated with the proteobacteria. The study extended recent 16S rRNA-based studies of phylogenetic diversity among nitrifiers by the comparison of eight strains of the genus Nitrobacter and representatives of the genera Nitrospina and Nitrospina. The later genera were shown to be affiliated with the delta subdivision of the proteobacteria but did not share a specific relationship to each other or to other members of the delta subdivision. All characterized Nitrobacter strains constituted a closely related assemblage within the alpha subdivision of the proteobacteria. As previously observed, all ammonia- oxidizing genera except Nitrosococcus oceanus constitute a monophyletic assemblage within the beta subdivision of the proteobacteria. Errors in the 16S rRNA sequences for two strains previously deposited in the databases by other investigators (Nitrosolobus multiformis C-71 and Nitrospira briensis C- 128) were corrected. Consideration of physiology and phylogenetic distribution suggested that nitrite-oxidizing bacteria of the alpha and gamma subdivisions are derived from immediate photosynthetic ancestry. Each nitrifier retains the general structural features of the specific ancestor's photosynthetic membrane complex. Thus, the nitrifiers, as a group, apparently are not derived from an ancestral nitrifying phenotype.

description: Using liquid integral equation theory, we calculate the pair correlations of particles that interact via a smooth repulsive pair potential in d = 4 spatial dimensions. We discuss the performance of different closures for the Ornstein-Zernike equation, by comparing the results to computer simulation data. Our results are of relevance to understand crystal and glass formation in high-dimensional systems.

description: Eruptions of classical novae are possible sources of lithium formation and gamma-ray emission. Nova remnants can also become Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The contribution of novae to these phenomena depends on nova rates, which are not well established for the Galaxy. Here, we directly measure a Galactic bulge nova rate of $13.8 \pm 2.6$ per year. This measurement is much more accurate than any previous measurement of this kind thanks to many years' monitoring of the bulge by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey. Our sample consists of 39 novae eruptions, $\sim$1/3 of which are OGLE-based discoveries. This long-term monitoring allows us to not only measure the nova rate but also to study in detail the light curves of 39 eruptions and more than 80 post-nova candidates. We measured orbital periods for 9 post-novae and 9 novae, and in 14 cases we procured the first estimates. The OGLE survey is very sensitive to the frequently erupting recurrent novae. We did not find any object similar to M31 2008-12a, which erupts once a year. The lack of detection indicates that there is only a small number of them in the Galactic bulge.

description: Drawing on knowledges of spatial practitioners in Slovakia and Czechia, as well as those of feminist science and technology studies and actor-network theory, the article explores the benefits and importance of bringing diverse knowledges into spatial practice. More specifically, it focuses on the issue of including voices, perspectives, and knowledges in the construction of space other than those of status quo often implicated in the (re)production of social injustices. It proposes to look at the margins as a site of potential resistance to find spatial practices/know-hows and visions that actually contribute to the creation of spaces for good lives of marginalised communities. Leaning on the experiences of practitioners on the margins, the article presents portraits of two organisations to explore in detail what spatial practices they employ to materialise their marginalised visions. Building on an analysis of these case studies, the article closes with a description of three transformations of spatial practice that are needed for better involvement of marginalised visions in spatial production: addressing a more complete image of the world, conceiving of space as multiple becoming, and participation as a matter of care.

description: The information and communication technology (ICT) plays an important role in improving energy consumption efficiency and reducing the emission level in the urban transport sector. ICT-based mobility services like ridesourcing provide smart tools and algorithms for matching travel demand and supply and more convenient door to door services. However, there is a concern that the convenience and competitive service fares of these new mobility modes encourage people to make more car travel or shift from more sustainable mobility modes like public transport to car travels. Therefore, it is necessary to study the frequency use and modal shift to this new mobility mode, particularly in the cities (like Cairo), where the ICT-based mobility services contain more ridesourcing of fossil fuel cars than other modes like online bikes/scooter sharing. A survey was conducted in Cairo, and logit models were developed to analyze the associations of socioeconomic, travel behavior variables with the frequency use and modal shift to ridesourcing. The results of ordinal logistic regression indicate that people who live near a metro station, with higher income, and with more non-work trips per week are more likely to be high-frequent users of ridesourcing. Moreover, women are more likely to use ridesourcing frequently than men in Cairo. The findings indicate that the most replaced mode by ridesourcing is traditional taxis (by 33 %), and the second and third shifted modes are private cars and public transport by 30% and 24 %, respectively. The results of multinomial logistic regression show that the socioeconomic parameters have significant associations with the probability of modal shift from public transport, taxis, and private cars to ridesourcing services.

description: In recent years, ultracold atoms in optical lattices have proven their great value as quantum simulators for studying strongly correlated phases and complex phenomena in solid-state systems. Here we reveal their potential as quantum simulators for molecular physics and propose a technique to image the three-dimensional molecular orbitals with high resolution. The outstanding tunability of ultracold atoms in terms of potential and interaction offer fully adjustable model systems for gaining deep insight into the electronic structure of molecules. We study the orbitals of an artificial benzene molecule and discuss the effect of tunable interactions in its conjugated pi electron system with special regard to localization and spin order. The dynamical time scales of ultracold atom simulators are on the order of milliseconds, which allows for the time-resolved monitoring of a broad range of dynamical processes. As an example, we compute the hole dynamics in the conjugated pi system of the artificial benzene molecule.

description: This paper investigates the content of two manuscripts that belong to two music teachers in the fourth decade of the 19th century. Dimitrios Papadopoulos from Chios, student of the three Teachers, a subscriber (habitant in Bucharest) in Doxastarion of Petros Efesios, and teacher of Psaltic Art, composed Doxastikon and Idiomelon, and wrote them down in the ms so-called "Stichiradoxastikarion." Petros Hagiotaphites, the new Byzantios, 1st Chanter in the Metochion of Holy Sepulchre in Constantinople, composed another collection of Doxastikon and Idiomelon, the so-called "Idiomelarion." Both composers aimed to cover the liturgical needs sufficiently after establishing the New Method (1814) by composing hymns written in the New Method. The paper aims to present these collections' hymns and provide musical morphology elements concerning the compositions, while the collections content is compared with the printed books' compositions.

The Folklore in the early 20th century and its role in the “national Discipline”: the “origin” of the Balkan narrative songs. A critical approach.

description: Since the middle 19th century the Balkan Peninsula has constantly been in a reform. The expected dissolution of the Ottoman Empire leads to the establishment of new ethnic states. In many cases, the new states are first established and then they build their own ethnic narrative over which the so-called national consciousness of the population will be structured. These populations will be the new majorities of the newborn states. In this context all kinds of means will be used in order to obtain homogeneity of the populations through ethnic narratives which derive from the verbal traditions of each people. The recent discipline of the official Folklore is used in a systematic way as a means of proving the authenticity, the origin and the age of the constituents of memorial tradition. In this paper an effort is made to present the way in which narrative songs of the Balkan (ballads, paraloges, epic songs, etc.) are used by the folklorists in the early 20th century to assist every narrative of the ethnic homogeneity, projecting always in the background the glorious past of each people. It is also aimed the revealing of the methods that the Folklorists of each new country use, since they are usually common. The conclusions, however, are different and vary with respect to the country from which the Folklorists come. Last but not least, it is presented the fact that anthropologists and ethnomusicologists criticized sharply the ethnocentric approach of the discipline, from the middle 20th century on.

description: The present paper is part of a more extended research project entitled The Ethnomusicological Study of Căluş Dances, included in the research plan of the Institute of Ethnography and Folklore “Constantin Brăiloiu”, within the programme The National Folklore Collection. This study is based on all Căluş tunes recorded in Argeş County and stored in the Institute’s Archive, a total of 200 musical transcriptions completed and analysed by: Nicolae Teodoreanu, Mihaela Nubert-Cheţan, Raluca Potârniche, Elena Șulea. The finds of the ethno-choreological studies group the Căluş dances into some categories: specific Căluș dances, compatible with the ritual circumstances, represented by a variable number of moves and of walks, and having their own names; dances taken from other contexts, such as the village hora, weddings, etc, being played at the end; and free dances, performed when the host requires. The two groups of tunes, the Walks and the Moves, represent the sample classified after being analysed at the level of architectural, rhythmic and melodic structure, starting from Corneliu Dan Georgescu’s approach in Jocul popular românesc. Tipologie muzicală şi corpus de melodii instrumentale [Romanian traditional dance. Musical typology and corpus of instrumental melodies]. In order to obtain a valid classification, we considered that the analysing tools should be less numerous, in order to cover more pieces with common features. The present classification has alternative central points, more main levels of analysis which subordinate the other levels. We call this a “multilevel” type of approach and it shows similarities and differences at any of the structural levels.

description: We investigate a novel method of accurate calculation of the neutrinoless double-$β$ decay shell-model nuclear matrix elements for the experimentally relevant case of $^{76}$Ge. We demonstrate that with the new method the nuclear matrix elements have perfect convergence properties and, using only the first 100 intermediate states of each spin, the matrix elements can be calculated with better than 1% accuracy. Based on the analysis of neutrinoless double-beta decays of $^{48}$Ca, $^{82}$Se, and $^{76}$Ge isotopes, we propose a new method to estimate the optimal values of the average closure energies at which the closure approximation gives the most accurate nuclear matrix elements. We also analyze the nuclear matrix elements for the heavy-neutrino-exchange mechanism, and we show that our method can be used to quench contributions from different intermediate spin states.

description: The Music Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, consisting of a large choir, a chamber choir and an instrumental ensemble, was an important factor to the musical life of Thessaloniki, the second largest city of Greece, thanks to the immense efforts of Yannis Mandakas, its founder and conductor from 1953 until 1993. Although its members changed from year to year, due to the fact that it consisted of young students that left when they graduated, this choir managed to reach a very high level of virtuosity. It introduced choral works that were unknown to the Greek audience, it gave concerts all over the world and many Greek composers of the time composed choral music specially for it. Many of its concerts were given specially for schools, while the Music Department of the Aristotle University organized choral festivals and lectures for all kinds of music. This paper will summarize the world and the Greek premiere concerts on choral works that the choir gave during the years 1970-1980, with emphasis on the works of contemporary Greek composers, and will provide information about the composers and the circumstances under which the concerts took place. The paper aims to show the choir’s educational role for the Greek audience and especially for the citizens of Thessaloniki and also to demonstrate the fact that it formed a beacon of inspiration for the Greek composers of the time. The Music Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has been renamed as the “Yannis Mandakas” choir after its founder and conductor for almost 50 years.

Some Remarks on Petros Ephesios’ Heirmologion Kalophonikon in Alphabetic Notation
Creators: name: Cernatescu, Catalin
Publisher: name: Series Musicologica Balcanica
Year: 2023
Subjects: Petros Ephesios, alphabetic notation, kalophonic heirmoi, exegesis

description: The present paper aims to reveal the music features of a unique Heirmologion Kalophonikon, the Greek manuscript Xeropotamou 415. This collection was printed around 1830-35 by Petros Manuel Ephesios (†1840) using the alphabetic musical notation, probably inspired by Agapios Paliermos’ similar system. Being regarded as an alternative to the New Method, this notation provides a quite precise way of writing down a melody. Deciphering this musical language, as daring as it can be, proves to be very useful in learning the method that Ephesios used for transcribing the melodies of the kalophonic heirmoi. There are significant dissimilarities between his transcriptions and the ones of the Constantinopolitan exegetists, Gregorios the Protopsaltes (†1822) and Chourmouzios the Chartophylax (†1840). The codex is also highly valuable because it contains several epiphonemata composed by Petros Ephesios, hymns meant to be chanted after the kratemata attached to the kalophonic heirmoi. These musical settings have never been transcribed so far into another music system, being trapped in an obsolete semiography.

description: We performed electronic transport measurements on 1D InAs quantum wires. In sufficiently disordered wires, transport is dominated by Coulomb blockade, and the conductance can be well described by tunneling through a quantum dot embedded between two one-dimensional Luttinger liquid wires. In contrast to previous experiments in other material systems, in our system the conductance difference between peak to valley decreases with decreasing temperature for several consecutive peaks. This phenomenon is theoretically expected to occur only for strongly interacting systems with small Luttinger interaction parameter g < 1/2; we find for our InAs wires a value of g~0.4. Possible mechanisms leading to these strong correlations are discussed.

description: We used cross-sectional Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis data from six US cities/counties and adjusted multilevel linear regression to examine park space-cognition associations among non-demented older adults (n = 4084). We found that greater neighborhood park space 1-mile around the residence (measured continuously) was associated with better processing speed in the overall sample (estimate: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.92). However, greater neighborhood park space (½-mile around residence) was associated with worse global cognition in Los Angeles, California (estimate: -2.66; 95% CI: -4.70, −0.62) and worse processing speed in Forsyth County, North Carolina (estimate: -0.72; 95% CI: -1.37, −0.08). Dichotomizing at the mean, having ≥6% park space (½-mile around residence) was associated with better global cognition in Saint Paul, Minnesota (estimate: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.38), and better processing speed in New York City (estimate: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.35). Park space-cognition associations varied by city/county, suggesting problems with pooling multiple sites without accounting for geographic context or regionally-varying park characteristics (e.g., quality).

description: In this work we apply techniques and modus operandi typical of Statistical Mechanics to a large dataset about key social quantifiers and compare the resulting behaviours of five European nations, namely France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. The social quantifiers considered are $i.$ the evolution of the number of autochthonous marriages (i.e. between two natives) within a given territorial district and $ii.$ the evolution of the number of mixed marriages (i.e. between a native and an immigrant) within a given territorial district. Our investigations are twofold. From a theoretical perspective, we develop novel techniques, complementary to classical methods (e.g. historical series and logistic regression), in order to detect possible collective features underlying the empirical behaviours; from an experimental perspective, we evidence a clear outline for the evolution of the social quantifiers considered. The comparison between experimental results and theoretical predictions is excellent and allows speculating that France, Italy and Spain display a certain degree of {\em internal heterogeneity}, that is not found in Germany and Switzerland; such heterogeneity, quite mild in France and in Spain, is not negligible in Italy and highlights quantitative differences in the customs of Northern and Southern regions. These findings may suggest the persistence of two culturally distinct communities, long-term lasting heritages of different and well-established cultures.

description: Climate change is expected to alter the distribution of ambient ozone levels and temperatures which, in turn, may impact public health. Much research has focused on the effect of short-term ozone exposures on mortality and morbidity while controlling for temperature as a confounder, but less is known about the joint effects of ozone and temperature. The extent of the health effects of changing ozone levels and temperatures will depend on whether these effects are additive or synergistic. In this paper we propose a spatial, semi-parametric model to estimate the joint ozone-temperature risk surfaces in 95 US urban areas. Our methodology restricts the ozone-temperature risk surfaces to be monotone in ozone and allows for both nonadditive and nonlinear effects of ozone and temperature. We use data from the National Mortality and Morbidity Air Pollution Study (NMMAPS) and show that the proposed model fits the data better than additive linear and nonlinear models. We then examine the synergistic effect of ozone and temperature both nationally and locally and find evidence of a nonlinear ozone effect and an ozone-temperature interaction at higher temperatures and ozone concentrations.

description: After first employing the 12-tone serialism, Anatol Vieru turned to folklore for inspiration and then wrote works based on artificial modes. I was interested in the possible correlations between these periods of his oeuvre. More precisely, I wished to analyse Vieru’s concerti as to their use of 12-tone structures and the relations they establish with non-serial configurations. I noticed that, even if he uses the chromatic total and respects the rules of serialism only in a first stage, Vieru very much kept in contact with it, albeit by converting it from a point of departure to a destination, the direction of a route seeming to often coincide with the obtaining of the chromatic total or with an asymptotic aspiration towards it. An interesting intersection is thus created, where the modal takes over the serial while the latter will still discreetly remain woven into the former.

description: The heavy quark collisional scattering on partons of the quark gluon plasma (QGP) is studied in a QCD medium at finite temperature and chemical potential. We evaluate the effects of finite parton masses and widths, finite temperature $T$ and quark chemical potential $μ_q$ on the different elastic cross sections for dynamical quasi-particles (on- and off-shell particles in the QGP medium as described by the dynamical quasi-particles model "DQPM") using the leading order Born diagrams. Our results show clearly the decrease of the $qQ$ and $gQ$ total elastic cross sections when the temperature and the quark chemical potential increase. These effects are amplified for finite $μ_q$ at temperatures lower than the corresponding critical temperature $T_c (μ_q)$. Using these cross sections we, furthermore, estimate the energy loss and longitudinal and transverse momentum transfers of a heavy quark propagating in a finite temperature and chemical potential medium. Accordingly, we have shown that the transport properties of heavy quarks are sensitive to the temperature and chemical potential variations. Our results provide some basic ingredients for the study of charm physics in heavy-ion collisions at Beam Energy Scan (BES) at RHIC and CBM experiment at FAIR.

description: We consider the generation of primordial magnetic fields in a class of bouncing models when the electromagnetic action is coupled non-minimally to a scalar field that, say, drives the background evolution. For scale factors that have the power law form at very early times and non-minimal couplings which are simple powers of the scale factor, one can easily show that scale invariant spectra for the magnetic field can arise before the bounce for certain values of the indices involved. It will be interesting to examine if these power spectra retain their shape after the bounce. However, analytical solutions for the Fourier modes of the electromagnetic vector potential across the bounce are difficult to obtain. In this work, with the help of a new time variable that we introduce, which we refer to as the ${\rm e}$-${\cal N}$-fold, we investigate these scenarios numerically. Imposing the initial conditions on the modes in the contracting phase, we numerically evolve the modes across the bounce and evaluate the spectra of the electric and magnetic fields at a suitable time after the bounce. As one could have intuitively expected, though the complete spectra depend on the details of the bounce, we find that, under the original conditions, scale invariant spectra of the magnetic fields do arise for wavenumbers much smaller than the scale associated with the bounce. We also show that magnetic fields which correspond to observed strengths today can be generated for specific values of the parameters. But, we find that, at the bounce, the backreaction due to the electromagnetic modes that have been generated can be significantly large calling into question the viability of the model. We briefly discuss the implications of our results.

Previous editions of the workshop were held in Madrid (2013), Almería (2012), A Coruña (2011), Valéncia (2010), San Sebastián (2009), Gijón (2008), Zaragoza (2007), Sitges (2006), Granada (2005), Málaga (2004), Alicante (2003), El Escorial (2002), and Almagro (2001). Programming languages provide a conceptual framework which is necessary for the development, analysis, optimization and understanding of programs and programming tasks. The aim of the PROLE series of conferences (PROLE stems from the spanish PROgramación y LEnguajes) is to serve as a meeting point for spanish research groups which develop their work in the area of programming and programming languages. The organization of this series of events aims at fostering the exchange of ideas, experiences and results among these groups. Promoting further collaboration is also one of the main goals of PROLE.
Investigation on Neuroprotective Potential of Proteins Extracted from Leaves of Orthosiphon stamineus

description: The key hallmarks in most of the central nervous system disorders are neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration. Neuroprotection has emerged as an alternative treatment strategy. Orthosiphon stamineus (OS; cat’s whiskers; “misai kucing”) is a medicinal plant (Lamiaceae family) with its proteins remain unexplored. This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of proteins extracted from OS leaves (OSLP) on human SH-SY5Y cells and adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). The findings obtained provide new insights into the protein extraction method from OS leaf sample using OTM achievable at laboratory scale, the neuroprotective potential of OSLP against H2O2 stress, and the anticonvulsive potential of OSLP under a normal condition and a hypoxic-ischemic condition.

description: We elaborate on the radiative behaviour of tree-level scattering amplitudes in the soft regime. We show that the sub-leading soft term in single-gluon emission of quark-gluon amplitudes in QCD is controlled by differential operators, whose universal form can be derived from both on-shell recursion relation and gauge invariance, as it was shown to hold for graviton- and gluon-scattering.

The combinatorial Mandelbrot set as the quotient of the space of geolaminations

description: We interpret the combinatorial Mandelbrot set in terms of \it{quadratic laminations} (equivalence relations $\sim$ on the unit circle invariant under $σ_2$). To each lamination we associate a particular {\em geolamination} (the collection $\mathcal{L}_\sim$ of points of the circle and edges of convex hulls of $\sim$-equivalence classes) so that the closure of the set of all of them is a compact metric space with the Hausdorff metric. Two such geolaminations are said to be {\em minor equivalent} if their {\em minors} (images of their longest chords) intersect. We show that the corresponding quotient space of this topological space is homeomorphic to the boundary of the combinatorial Mandelbrot set. To each equivalence class of these geolaminations we associate a unique lamination and its topological polynomial so that this interpretation can be viewed as a way to endow the space of all quadratic topological polynomials with a suitable topology.

description: Among the oldest surviving musical sources of the Eastern Slavs, the Tipografsky Ustav and the Blagoveshchensky Kondakar, 11th and 12th centuries, respectively, testify to the richness and intensity of the cultural foment of those early centuries following Christianization. These manuscripts represent a high point in the liturgical and musical development of the period, and evince an apparent nascent Slavic musical autonomy. Appended to their kondakarian cycles are octomodally ordered collections of miscellaneous chant fragments whose corollaries can be found only in the oldest Byzantine sources. The following introduces and compares a selection of this repertory in a bid to glimpse the ritual and musical practices in place at this early critical juncture in the liturgical development of Slavia Orthodoxa.

How Ideology Rewrote the History of Music in Romania of the 1970s-1980s
Creators: name: Popa, Florinela
Publisher: name: Series Musicologica Balcanica
Year: 2023
Subjects: Romanian musicology, nationalism, socialist humanism, protochronism

description: Nicolae Ceaușescu’s “theses” from July 1971 pressured Romanian culture in its entirety on a new trajectory, that of embracing a national kind of Neo-Stalinism. The so-called “socialist humanism” became the official mask of a new socialist realism aggressively propagated in all Romanian artistic domains. Even if officially more tolerant regarding the “methods” and “styles” of writing music, it put cultural life in Communist Romania under strict ideological control. The obstinate appeal to history and national identity played a key role in the “mini-cultural revolution” of the 1970s and 1980s, ideology firmly indicating that musicology takes up the study of the values of our musical past. The emphasis on the age and originality of our musical culture led to a growing interest in folklore and, a paradox in an atheist state, Byzantine music. In a variety of works on the history of music – from articles in Muzica magazine to whole books on the subject –, the historical perspective was altered and, gradually, radicalized along the lines of the new, protochronist ideological wave. The ambition to “prove” Romanian culture’s unique and pioneering character led to the fabrication of a “Romanian” musical past with extremely remote, Thracian roots, making claims – and not metaphorically, as it would seem at first sight – to Orphic parentage.
