This first album of her music reveals a latter-day Impressionist, sensitive to half-light and petal-delicate tonal color - but she can also generate powerful surges of energy, and her musical portrait of Charlie Chaplin testifies to an impish sense of humor. Teodorescu's music explores spectralism, neoimpressionism and postmodernism with a powerful lyric and dramatic effect (Oxford music online). She is Professor of composition at the National University of Music Bucharest and Adjunct Associate Professor at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. She introduced a new musical poetics called hypertimbralism pursuing intertextuality based on timbre. Teodorescu has lectured at Illinois Urbana Champaign, Oslo, Monash and Huddersfield Universities. She has written over 60 works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Endeavour Bells: Fantasy for Piano Solo \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Nocturniana: Fantasy for Two Pianos on Chopin's Nocturne, Op. 27, No. 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Sonatina for solo piano~I.
