Prominent figures in Moldova's cultural development include prince and scholar Dimitrie Cantemir (1673- 1723), historian and philologist Bogdan P. Hasdeu (1836-1907), author Ion Creangă (1837-89), and poet Mihai Eminescu (1850-89).

 about Klezmer Music
Ranging from exhilarating dance tunes to soulful, probing melodies, Klezmer music sprang from the fertile cultural ground of Yiddish culture in Europe.
The singing styles of cantors, Yiddish folk music, and the various folk musics of central and Eastern Europe all influenced the stylistic development of klezmer music.
Klezmer ensembles were originally instrumental, and often consisted of a lead and second violin, a bass, and perhaps a flute, cimbalom, drum, and/or cymbal.

 Alexander Shchetynsky, composer
His style is essentially that of a structuralist, relying on a synthesis of a variety of modernist techniques and exploring in each piece a particular musical metaphor.
The influence of an especially eastern European variety of minimalism (more meditative and less didactic) is also apparent in the carefully worked out relationship between different degrees of sound and silence, the predominance of soft dynamics, and in the smallest details and changes in pitch, timbre and rhythm.
For Shchetynsky, musical metaphor is the expressive formula which translates the composer's deepest intuitions into an intricately structured, subtle, sophisticated, enigmatic, but nevertheless essentially intelligible, sonic language, in which the common-sense boundaries between sound and silence remain fluid.
