Romanian term or phrase: complex acordic de tip pedală
Ultima variaţiune poate fi interpretată ca o mică repriză datorită *** complexelor acordice de tip pedală*** a viorilor, care revin în expunere inversă Andante, m. 76.
Forma este evolutivă, „centristă” după cum declară compozitorul, punctul de greutate al desfăşurării sonore fiind axat pe variaţiunea a IV a, unde se conturează şi se prelucrează tema dodecafonică-serială.

Vă mulţumesc!

Explanation:
Since "harmony" is implied, the shorter term "complexity resulting from the pedal points" may be preferable. See page 77 of this link for a description of pedal points (formerly called "organ points").

complex harmony resulting from the pedal points

The last variation can be interpreted… due to the "complex harmony resulting from the pedal points" found in the violins, returning…

Example sentence(s):
  • This complex haromy of the chord is the result of the gradual accumulation of pedal points found in the violin parts.
  • The complex harmony results from the accumulation of sustained pedal points divided between violins.
