    Ibla Foundation Home Page 3/8/10 10:09 PM The stormy, fresh, accelerated-tempo character which is supported by many sforzati and dynamical contrasts has to be emphasised. The return of the third movement’s primary theme and tempo (bar 256) make the quasi una fantasia clear. Here, Beethoven writes Tempo I - at this point, he means the Tempo I of the third, not the 4th movement. Once again, this indication shows Beethoven’s concept of an entire fantasia- sonata without separation in the movements. back to top Nancy Lee Harper, pianist, PORTUGAL "The Interpretation of Manuel de Falla's Fantasia baetica" INTERPRETING MANUEL DE FALLA'S FANTASÍA BÆTICA: An Introduction and Masterclass By Nancy Lee Harper ©2004 INTRODUCTION In this day and age of pianistic pyrotechnics, Falla's chef d'œuvre still remains as illusive and daunting today as it was 75 years ago when it was commissioned by and dedicated to the great Polish pianist, Artur Rubinstein. Shrouded in bad luck, Rubinstein was unable to learn the piece in time for his Barcelona concerts in 1919, giving the premiere later in New York on 20 February 1920. The work was destined neither to have the impact nor become the mainstay of his repertoire as other works in his repertoire. Rubinstein played the Fantasy a handful of times, abandoning it, complaining that it was too long, too difficult, had too many glissandi, too many guitar and flamenco figures, etc.. If the truth were known, Rubinstein probably did not have the same audience success as with his version of Falla's earlier work, the "Ritual Fire Dance".

  • Madison Symphony Orchestra Program Notes
    Peoria Symphony Orchestra Program Notes March 11, 2017 Michael Allsen The works heard here on this program were written with 15 years of one another during the First World War and the years following, and the three works by de Falla and Turina are closely linked by the Spanish songs and rhythms that permeate the music. Our soloist, Mexican pianist Jorge Federico Osorio, opens with de Falla’s exotic Nights in the Gardens of Spain. He then turns to a more modernist French work that calls for tremendous virtuosity, Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand Alone. The two closing works feature the orchestra itself: Turina’s Fantastic Dances, and the suites from Falla’s ballet The Three-Cornered Hat. Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) Noches en los jardines de España (Nights in the Gardens of Spain) Falla worked on his Noches en los jardines de España between 1909 and 1915. Its premiere was in Madrid, on April 9, 1916, with piano soloist José Cubiles. Born in the southern port city of Cádiz, in the heart of Andalusia, Manuel de Falla never forgot his musical roots. By 1900, he had moved to Madrid, and took part in the vigorous musical life of the capital, taking lessons at the conservatory, and forming close bonds with like-minded young composers like Isaac Albeníz, Enrique Granados, and Joaquin Turina. In 1907, he moved to Paris - then the artistic capital of Europe and a magnet for ambitious young musicians. While he eagerly absorbed the newest French styles, his music remained firmly grounded in Spain.

  • El Estreno De La Vida Breve En El MET
    La recepción de Manuel de Falla en los Estados Unidos de América: El estreno de La vida breve en el MET Pablo Martínez Pegalajar (Rowan University, NJ) [email protected] INTRODUCCIÓN Justificar las diversas influencias culturales y artísticas entre España y los Estados Unidos de América puede ser un ejercicio obvio. Del mismo modo, tampoco es necesario argumentar en favor del renombre de Manuel de Falla a nivel nacional e internacional como uno de los principales estandartes de la música española. Sin embargo, pese a la grandeza y la evidencia de ambos asuntos, se echan en falta explicaciones sobre cómo llegó la música de este compositor a Estados Unidos, cómo fue percibida y cómo pasó a formar parte del repertorio. Dentro del catálogo de Manuel de Falla, la ópera La vida breve es clave para entender la recepción y crítica del autor en EE. UU. En primer lugar, porque se trata de la primera obra que lanzó al compositor hacia el reconocimiento internacional en Europa e interesa conocer si hizo lo propio en el continente americano. En segundo lugar, por las particularidades del género. Las impresiones del público y la crítica en el terreno operístico pueden constituir una atmósfera independiente de otros círculos musicales. En concreto, la crítica en torno a la Metropolitan Opera House de Nueva York, principal puerta de entrada de la ópera al país, ofreció diversas y controvertidas críticas a La vida breve tras su estreno el 6 de mayo de 1926. Todas ellas, junto con las realizadas en posteriores repeticiones de la producción, así como la realizada en la Academy of Music en Filadelfia el 9 de marzo del mismo año, han sido recopiladas de los Archivos del MET para trazar parte del perfil del compositor gaditano en EE.

Y si apelamos a la memoria colectiva resulta que ambas obras pueden estar en nuestro universo musical más entrañable. Este espectáculo representa una aproximación a una parte de nuestro sentimentalismo a través de las melodías que hemos oído en cada uno de estos títulos o en los dos, aunque no seamos conscientes de ello. Una memoria que se construye socialmente y que comunica el pasado con el presente a través de los fragmentos musicales que se disfrutan una y otra vez. Porque Giménez primero y Falla después, como creadores condensan distintos imperativos musicales y sociales de la música, pues cada uno tiene sus propias particularidades; por ejemplo, una simpática tarantela de viveza andaluza o una elegante danza española… que representan distintas formas de entender lo gitano como algo bello y universal. Por eso el director de escena, Giancarlo del Monaco, interpreta el alma de estas obras con el fin de potenciar sus elementos dramáticos; se trata de una doble reflexión de la pasión y de la fatalidad a la que puede llegar el alma de la mujer ofendida.
