Tríptic romàntic-Solemnial-Rondó giocoso-Preludi

What we are presenting here is a series of short pieces for piano written between 1955 and 1957 which, from a noble and serene inspiration and in keeping with his unique personal style, reflect the flavour of the age or genre being featured, as well as the quality –not to mention, audacity– of being original. An originality lying in the efforts to update the rules of late-Romanticism with the musical trends of the second half of the twentieth century; rules which have risen, in their own right, to the ranks of the most technically and aesthetically beautiful styles of all time.
Without making any great pretensions, today these pieces for piano (some of which are not without their areas of difficulty, particularly the Romantic Triptych, Impatience) constitute a lesson in real music, for the clarity of their melodies, the fluidity with which their themes are developed and the harmonious stability of their architecture.
