Product Description
Every Piano Has a Story is a music album of twelve neoclassical piano pieces that narrate - through sound - a generally optimistic story. All 12 pieces on this album exist in both as audio and as sheet music. All of these pieces were composed by Juan María Solare.
Every piano has a story, just as every human being has one. A story, a past, a collection of experiences that lead to what it is today, to how this piano sounds today. My task here is to tell this story and these stories - through sound. Part of that narrative is the present album.
Five titles on this album include references to water. Initially, this coincidence surprised me, until I understood that symbolically water relates to renewal, elementalism, cleansing, and purification. Just like this music.
Aesthetically, these pieces can be classified under the labels of neoclassicism, light academia, or dark academia (depending on the case).
Certainly, the pieces on this album can be performed individually.
"One of the most productive and inspired Argentine living composers, Juan María Solare, offers us with this album a collection of very attractive pieces recalling nature, human feelings, impressions, and memories. It will enrich the education and the enjoyment of piano playing of talented and imaginative piano students." (Alberto Portugheis, pianist)
