I. Rêverie / II. Capriccio. Par CASABLANCAS BENET. Work commissioned by the pianists Iván Martín and Alba Ventura, on the occasion of the commemoration of the Centenary of Enric Granados (2016), and lasts approximately 10 minutes. It comprises two pieces of very contrasting character. The first, Rêverie, is a nocturne with broad resonances that unfolds in a recollected and expectant atmosphere, presided over by a lyrical expression and contemplative sign, scarcely disturbed by more passionate outbursts. Its cantabile course and precious writing conceal veiled references to the poetic and pianistic universe of Granados, including a hidden allusion to the musical acrostic of his name (made up of the notes Do-Mi [EnriC] and Sol-La-Re-Mib [GrAnaDoS]), which confers a special luminosity to its harmonic material. The Capriccio that follows lives up to its name with a more virtuosic and vigorous writing, with playful and colourful rhythmic accents, which drifts in its central part towards the dreamlike and ecstatic register that presided over some sections of the Rêverie, to conclude with a brilliant stretta. The premieres of the two pieces that make up the present work took place on 20 January 2016 at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona (Capriccio) and on 14 April 2016 at the Auditori de Barcelona (Rêverie), starring Iván Martín and Alba Ventura, respectively. Both pieces are contemporaries of the 'Romanza sin palabras', for chamber ensemble, commissioned by The City University of New York on the occasion of the celebration of the Granados Year in New York, and premiered on 10 March 2016 at the Elebash Recital Hall of the CUNY by the Perspectives Ensemble (art. dir. Sato Moughalian), conducted by Ángel Gil-Ordóñez. The work is dedicated to Maneleta Domingo, María Lourdes Antràs and Virginia Casablancas. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Répertoire / Piano
