Summary of This Book
This collection highlights the piano writing of Frédéric Mompou, an essential 20th-century composer, renowned for his art of suggestion and his way of evoking emotion in just a few measures. Here, the pianist explores music of the moment, made of timbres, silences, resonances, and stripped melodic lines, where every nuance matters.
You will find emblematic pages such as Suburbis (including "El carrer, el guitarrista i el vell cavall," "Gitanes 1 & 2," "La cegueta," "L'home de l'aristó"), Cants màgics, and Scènes d'enfants, true short tableaux that evoke in turn the street, play, memory, and local color. The whole lends itself perfectly to working on musical narration and the search for a very controlled sonority.
The book also offers an extensive journey through the Cançons i danses (Nos. 1 to 12): an ideal material to develop a sense of singing, rhythmic regularity, and balance between dance and lyricism. This alternation of character, typical of Mompou, allows for easily constructing a varied program, from brief pieces to more developed suites.
For further exploration, you will find cycles and pieces with a strong identity such as Fêtes lointaines (1 to 6), the Charmes (1 to 6), Dialogues 1 & 2, Préludes Nos. 5 to 10 (including No. 6 "para la mano izquierda"), Souvenirs de l'Exposition, as well as the Variations sur un thème de Chopin. Finally, Paisajes, Música callada (Books I to IV), and Sur la pointe des pieds complete this inner journey, demanding in listening and subtlety, and particularly rewarding for the pianist seeking expressivity.
