Product Description
Juan
María Solare: Acuarelas junto al río inmóvil (Watercolours alongside
the still river)
five nocturnes for piano solo
The "still river" is the River Plate; the novelist Eduardo Mallea
(1902-1982) refers to Buenos Aires as the "city next to the still river",
an allusion to its lack of haste.
This cycle of piano pieces is a collection of five short nocturnes. The
first four Acuarelas were composed in Buenos Aires between 9th and 12th April
2007, the fifth piece was conceived on 4th May and written down on 6th May 2007.
All five pieces have practically the same formal structure.
Concerning the musical language or style, I would classify this work under contemporary
classical with interferences from modern jazz and new tango (imagine
Astor Piazzolla listening to a recording of Thelonious Monk playing preludes of
Alexander Scriabin).
