Suite per a piano

The first thing to say about this Suite, made up of the movements Prelude, Ricercare, Air and Ciaccona, is that their names are neither metaphoric nor a simple evocation. Instead, they offer a true description of the compositional technique used to write the Suite: the four movements have a counterpoint relationship and follow the formal principles they announce through their titles. Regarding the musical language, I have defined my work as tonal for many years now. Not an apparently stylistic exercise in which a musician returns to a specific moment in the history of music
(or writes a didactic or incidental piece), but the result of an internal reflection on the legacy of everything we define as Western classical music. Thus, I consider tonality to be the necessary condition to write music in the here and now.

For me, as a composer, writing music today corresponds to my will to not give up on the emotional experiences linked to the action of composing.
The Suite was first performed in public by the pianist José Alfonso Álvarez.
