Capriccio Scherzo

Contents

The understanding between two musicians who share musical ideas surely must have been the driving force of this collaboration, which initially began as a bet at the keyboard and ended up taking up bigger dimensions. The Capriccio-Scherzo is, above all, a game, which looks for complicities between historical musical memory and the author's particular language, without renouncing anything right from the start. An intriguing beginning gives way to a central section, in which a Doric melody gives evidence of a certain weakness when confronted with a melodic field in opposed polytonality. Some more surprises, some more brushstrokes of great pianism and the final surprise' a climax, which is shared by two Catalan dances, which I used to dance during my dansaire time. The piece is dedicated to Antoni Besses.
