Historia de la gran música para piano

In short, a journey through the history of piano music, from the first spinet to the most complex keyboards, from Bach to the penultimate modernity, full of art and passion and written by one of the leading music critics. These pages are a gift for those who are interested in piano music and its authors. A gift full of musical emotions that reviews the most important and emblematic creations of the genre. Beyond the history of the instrument itself, certainly the one that has bequeathed us the most and best music, the author guides us through the "pianism" of Mozart and romantics such as Chopin, Liszt or Brahms, with Beethoven and Schubert as the central axis. , but without stopping looking towards the necessary origins: Cabezón, Frescobaldi, the Couperins, Domenico Scarlatti and, of course, Bach. Not only as legal predecessors but as bearers of musical truths that can be transmitted to the modern keyboard from their old consoles installed in the great organs and the most domestic harpsichords. Pages that look towards the modernity of Debussy, Albéniz or Ravel, without forgetting the "mestizo" Gershwin or the father of current American music, Charles Ives, analyzing their origin and their foundations, as well as the elusive beauty of their compositions. Through these, we will know the different ways of dealing with the creation and personality of each composer to understand their most intangible reality and their own indelible personal stamp, something that, without a doubt, involves much more than a certain way of combining the notes .
