Overview :

Participants will look at the fundamentals of Spanish keyboard music through lectures, class performances and discussion. This workshop is an immersion in Spanish keyboard music and playing through performance and study of the origins of the Spanish keyboard repertoire (16th to early 19th centuries), its links with traditional music and further influence into the Spanish nationalist piano school.

The Spanish nationalist piano school –mainly represented by Albéniz, Granados and Falla- is the result of a long period of fermentation, starting with Antonio de Cabezón’s sets of variations, followed by Scarlatti and Soler sonatas, and continuing to the first Spanish Romantic composers , including José Inzenga and Santiago de Masarnau. A continous line can be traced through the history of Spanish keyboard music along which traditional music and dance are the main inspiration.
