Pasajera eterna is also part of the CD Sombras blancas (White shadows) by Juan
María Solare.
The
title 'Pasajera
eterna'
is in Spanish an oxymoron, that is, a figure of thought that consists
of complementing a word with another word that has a contradictory or
opposite meaning. 'Pasajera' (temporary, transient), as an adjective,
is a situation that does not last forever, ephemeral, while 'eternal'
is just the opposite. Furthermore, if we read 'pasajera' (traveller,
passenger) as a noun, the title alludes to a person on a constant
journey, on the move.
The
expression 'Pasajera
eterna'
was invented by the dedicatee of this work, Belén
Rouco,
who kindly authorised me to use it to title this music. Under the
literary name of 'Pasajera
eterna',
Belén signs and publishes her writings, poems and reflections.
Keywords: romantic piano music, easy
listening, post-romantic, neo-classical, contemporary classical, melodic.
