The first two dances were composed with the accordion rather than the piano; Cochran was performing Romanian folk music in public concerts at this time. The first, fourth and fifth Romanian Dances demonstrate inventive rhythms and most of the dances use a raised 4th within a minor scale. The third Romanian Dance simulates the cimbalom (hammered dulcimer) with the left hand, first with upward and downward glissando strokes and later percussively. The fourth Romanian Dance, along with Tin Sentinel, makes use of the scale consisting of alternating tones and semi-tones. Cochran had independently discovered this scale using guitar, naming it the Chain Scale, and subsequently mastered its use in a variety of works; other examples include the first movement of the first piano sonata and the second movement of the violin and oboe trio, Artemis. The first description of the scale however dates back to Persian traditional music in the 7th century AD. | | | Romanian Dance No. 1, piano forte:

Blow, blow the winter horn.
For our kind has been reborn.
All the life that meadow grew.
We will take to grow anew.
Sintra Tushka travel far.
Soon we'll find another star.
Farewell sea and pebbled shore.
Farewell beauty that we saw.
Zaratha.
Time passes sleeping cold.
Thousand years is not too old.
Re-awake another sun.
Our new life will have begun.
Stellar objects, nebula.
Zaharatha - take us far.
Light years we have come.
How distant is our sun.
Time to lay and hybernate.
The thistles grow, no wind blows.
So still and cold.
Float away. Drift away.
To a place where we may stay.
Zarah.
Drift silent through the night.
Strange the beauty that I sight.
Travelling vessel we will roam.
Searching for a new found home.
Zahra.
