The style the composer himself calls 'primitivista' involves no bar lines, key signatures or other such paraphernalia of 'organized' composition, and at first sight owes much to Satie. However the latter's cynicism here finds expression in genuine innocence and wonder.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe titles of the four complete sets recorded here give some impression of what is to be expected: Cants Magics, Charmes \\u2026 but these titles can also be unhelpful, implying order when none is meant; the Cancions y Danzas are not part of a set as such, and the six examples here span some three decades.\\r\u003cbr\u003eAll of these miniatures (the longest is under six minutes) capture a world that is at once very real (Mompou describes his 'favourite place' as being the 'solitude of all large towns') and yet somehow set at a distance from the mundane through piano writing of plain and unpretentious vision.\u003cp\u003eCanzion y Danza 7 (1944)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrelude 1 (1928)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCants Magics (1917): Energic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCants Magics (1917): Obscur\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCants Magics (1917): Profond : Lent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCants Magics (1917): Misterios\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCants Magics (1917): Calma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCancion Y Danza 5 (1942)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrelude 5 (1930)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharmes (1920 - 1): ...Pour Endormir La Souffrance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharmes (1920 - 1): ...Pour Penetrer Les Ames\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharmes (1920 - 1): ...Pour Inspirer L' Armour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharmes (1920 - 1): ...Pour Les Guerisons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharmes (1920 - 1): ...Pour Evoquer L' Image Du Passe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharmes (1920 - 1): ...Pour Appeler La Joie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanzion Y Danza 8 (1946)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrelude 7 (1931): Prelude 7 ('Palmier D' Etoiles') (1931)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrois Variations (1921): Theme\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrois Variations (1921): Les soldats\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrois Variations (1921): Courtoisie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrois Variations (1921): Nocturne\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanzion y Danza 3 (1926)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrelude 9 (1943)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDialogues I And II: Plaintif\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDialogues I And II: Modere\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanzion Y Danza 1 (1921)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrelude 10 (1944)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaisajes (1942-1960): La fuente y la campana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaisajes (1942-1960): El Lago\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaisajes (1942-1960): Carros de Galicia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanzion y Danza 9 (1948)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrelude 6 (1930): Prelude 6 (pour la main gauche) (1930)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55159405674881,"sku":"683483","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51d17OK71tL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767976308","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/683483","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
