Porumbescu
Ciprian Porumbescu (1853–1883) was a Romanian composer and violinist who studied at the Vienna Conservatory and became one of the most significant figures in Romanian national music, despite dying of tuberculosis at twenty-nine. His Balada for violin and orchestra is the most performed Romanian classical work, combining Romantic lyricism with a distinctly Romanian melodic character. He also composed the operetta Crai Nou and a large body of choral and patriotic music that made him a hero of the Romanian cultural revival, leaving behind a catalogue of remarkable scope for a composer who lived less than three decades.
