<br />
<br />
Hoy, 25 de Diciembre del año 2018, me aventuro a firmar esta reflexión a modo de vivencia personal, en donde espero que muchos se sientan reflejados, otros no sentirán este reflejo, pero yo sí, hoy enfrento el mañana.<br />
<br />
Después de cuarenta y cinco años vividos, de ellos veinte en Cuba, unos siete aproximadamente en España y el resto -dieciocho- en Estados Unidos de América; puedo no solo componer música, sino también exponer ideas que puedan inspirar a muchos, que por los avatares del destino se sientan en situaciones desesperadas, o sin poder ver más allá de la luz de su habitación. Creanme, ahí también he estado yo, por lo que me solidarizo con ustedes en este sentimiento; todos hemos sangrado y llorado en carne propia.<br />
<br />
He formulado algunas preguntas y aquí se las dejo:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1- ¿Si mi trabajo no gusta y es rechazado?</b><br />
<br />
Muchos de nosotros -los que queremos hacer las cosas bien-, vivimos preocupados por lo que los otros digan, pues habitamos un mundo donde es importante la aceptación social en todos los sentidos, o al menos en los principios básicos de convivencia, prueba de ello, es la cantidad de fotografías y publicaciones que dejamos en las redes continuamente. Cada uno de nosotros necesitamos ser aceptados como somos de una manera u otra, no importa lo que hagamos, o que es lo que pone el pan sobre nuestra mesa, todos, queremos ser parte de este mundo y vivir integrado a el.<br />
<br />
Si tu trabajo es rechazado, no importa, es muy común que muchos no aprecien tu talento, o tu modo de hacer las cosas, quizás, hasta traten de limpiar las escaleras del edificio con tu nombre, pero cuidado, hay un sin número de personas que "no te conocen" y que apreciarán tu trabajo una vez que sepan de ti. El simple hecho de que una puerta no se abrió hoy, no significa el fin del mundo. Duele, pues a mi me ha pasado, pero siempre debemos buscar la manera de encontrar a ese otro grupo social que si apreciará y disfrutará lo que tú haces y que se convertirán en nuestros fieles seguidores.<br />
<br />
Aprecia siempre la crítica constructiva, sé vigilante de aquellos que envían mensajes subliminales en sus palabras, pero estudia y desarróllate, para que así puedas estar seguro de lo que haces en cada momento. Si estás inseguro de algo, espera, todo tiene su momento en la vida.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2- ¿El dinero?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
¿A quién no le gusta el dinero? Creo que a casi todos, pues hoy más que nunca se ha convertido en el instrumento creado por el hombre más buscado. Lo necesitamos para pagar las cuentas, comprar alimentos, medicamentos, o para disfrutar de la vida y mucho más.<br />
<br />
El dinero, por desgracia, cae repartido de la manera más absurda del planeta, casi como un juego al azar, muchas veces distribuido estúpidamente. Te encuentras personas estudiadas que apenas tienen para cubrir sus gastos mensuales y otros que les sobra sin pasar trabajo alguno; algunos lo heredan sin sufrir el penoso y doloroso camino que muchos tienen que transitar, como es el caso de la gran mayoría. Felicidades de todo corazón a aquellos que de una manera u otra les llegó la riqueza en el reparto desigual.<br />
<br />
No se conviertan en esclavos de la moneda, aprendan a vivir de una manera modesta y sin grandes pretensiones. En este apartado encontrarán una cierta tranquilidad que les permitirá vivir con decencia y decoro. La ambición por el dinero ha sido el culto de muchos por siglos y lo seguirá siendo, pues el ser humano lo necesita de una manera u otra para controlar, sentirse con poder, y esclavizar a otros de las múltiples formas posibles que existen; una de ellas es el dinero.<br />
<br />
Primero amen y disfruten lo que hacen que el pago vendrá de una forma u otra. Esto no quiere decir que debes quedarte inerte esperando a que llegue, si no ves los resultados, para ello cambia, articula y muévete hacia otra dirección, el cambio será inminente y debe ser continuo, como mismo es nuestro cielo, que nunca es igual.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3- ¿Y del amor qué?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
El amor es un jardín de emociones encontradas que pueden ir de la adoración hasta el odio. Crecimos muchos en la fantasía de que el amor es para siempre, pues las niñas y niños, -que se convertirán luego en adolescentes y finalmente en adultos- crecen esperando el príncipe azul o a la princesa hermosa, o séase lo que vieron en las películas del cine y en los muñequitos de la televisión. El amor platónico que experimentaron muchos en el Romanticismo en siglo XIX y quizás parte de principios del XX, lo tratamos de aplicar a nuestros tiempos, lo cual es un craso error.<br />
<br />
Hoy vivimos invadidos por una continua penetración de la privacidad, donde cualquier extraño puede interactuar con cualquiera de nosotros. Las puertas que las redes sociales abren, convierten y se convertirán en los años venideros, en el elemento principal de la fragmentación social y la ruptura de parejas en el siglo XXI, no el dinero.<br />
<br />
El quebrantamiento crecerá por la interacción con otras personas conocidas o lejanas, creando una infidelidad sutil, llamémosle electrónica. Muchos no anticipan los riesgos y consecuencias que esto genera. Si aman a su pareja, quiéranla con todo su corazón y enfoquen su energía a lo que están sembrando.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Epílogo</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
No tengo cien años de edad, pero he vivido y sufrido los avatares de la vida al igual que ustedes y el compartir estos pensamientos tiene el único propósito de recordarles que no importa cuan bien o mal podamos estar en diferentes aspectos de la vida: siempre existe un mañana y hay que esperarlo con agradecimiento e ilusión.<br />
<br />
Dios tiene un plan para nosotros, y aceptar ese camino debe ser un privilegio y que es mejor acercarnos siempre al bien que al mal. Mañana tendremos que inculcar esta sabiduría a nuestros hijos y nietos, o quizás aconsejar a un buen amigo y que es mejor que empezar hoy enseñándonos a nosotros mismos, ¿no creen?.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text111">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">A lo largo de los últimos años he sido testigo en primera fila del crecimiento de un género de música urbana conocido mundialmente como reguetóno reggaetón. También, he leído con gran asombro multitud de artículos y comentarios en las redes sociales. Muchas son las criticas por doquier en contra de todo aquél que de una manera u otra se una a las filas partidistas de este tipo de música.</span></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
El reguetón es simplemente el resultado de una expresión social, con la cual la juventud se siente sumamente identificada. Nuestros jóvenes han nacido en la era de la comunicación instantánea, en la cual ya no se habla, se "textea" y hasta el "amor", puede llegar a ser electrónico, algo impensable cien años atrás. Esta música es para muchos el lenguaje natural para ligar, sí, es la música perfecta para adentrarse a un club y a la sombra de unos tragos desinhibirse y llegar a bailar en una forma casi sexual con alguien que puede llegar a ser un total desconocido. Este tipo de música en versión pop-disco siempre ha existido en diversas partes del mundo, se ha transformado y camuflado a través de diferentes épocas, nuevos sonidos, artistas, productores y canciones.</div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Recordemos un axioma histórico: es sabido que lo nuevo desplaza a lo antiguo, los pensamientos evolucionan generación tras generación; los jóvenes llegan, quitan, transforman e imponen nuevas reglas que muchas veces no son populares y quizás a veces son contradictorias con nuestro pasado y legado. Claro ejemplo de esto sucedió en la música clasica, allá por los siglos XIV el Ars Nova reemplazó el Ars Antiqua; en el Barroco la Seconda Pratica (segunda práctica) reemplazó la Prima Pratica (primera práctica); en el siglo XX el sistema tonal fue reemplazado por el atonal. En la música popular, el jazz que conocemos hoy evolucionó de géneros como el cakewalk, ragtime, blues hasta llegar al free jazz; en lo popular el rock and roll fue reemplazado por el rock y hard rock; en Cuba, la timba desplazo al son, el cual evolucionó del mambo, la guaracha, hasta los géneros más antiguos de la isla. En Latinoamérica y el Caribe, el reguetón ha sacado literalmente de circulación géneros establecidos como el merengue, la bomba, plena, cumbia y la salsa. Nos guste o no, ya está aquí amigos, acéptenlo, es una realidad.</div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Ahora, me formulo esta pregunta: ¿por qué suceden estos cambios estéticos en la población? A mi criterio, todo empieza en la cúpula gubernamental, la educación, hasta el seno de la propia familia. Imaginen un mundo donde nuestros líderes asistan cada domingo a un concierto de música clásica o a una opera; si los educadores hablaran de arte e incitaran su estudio e investigación a sus alumnos sería maravilloso; si nuestra familia acudiera habitualmente a museos, círculos literarios, obras de teatro, entonces todos, trataríamos de imitar este tipo de patrón y comportamiento social. Sin este apoyo, las artes quedan varadas en el mar del olvido, y recuerden bien, lo que perdura de una civilización es la cultura.</div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<br /></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Por desgracia, lo que se enseña hoy es el amor al "dinero", a las matemáticas y las ciencias, olvidando la gran fuente de conocimiento que la cultura nos da. Los países y gobiernos deben permitir que el arte sea accesible para todos, y que el asistir a un concierto no cueste mucho, que el acceso a estudiar las artes sea obligatorio para todos, y que la jerarquía dominante, políticos, empresarios, figuras públicas y de influencia social den el ejemplo tomando fuerza activa en los eventos sociales culturales, patrocinando este tipo de movimientos que a la larga, solidifican el legado cultural que ellos mismos visten y representan.</div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text111" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
La música y las artes solo reflejan la decadencia en que vivimos, pues siempre ha sido así y el reguetón no es la excepción, refleja la sociedad en que vivimos. Nos toca a los creadores tomar decisiones fuertes y responsables, eligiendo caminos a veces solitarios, llenos de piedras y espinas, sangrando al tratar de navegar por aguas turbulentas, soñando con dejar un mensaje social que sea constructivo y positivo para las futuras generaciones. El reguetón no es más que un género bailable, para disfrutar en una discoteca, que representa a un sector de la población que lo consume. No es un lied de Schubert, ni un motete de Palestrina, ni un bolero romántico, es música para bailar, como lo fue el danzón, el merengue, la cumbia y otros géneros musicales en otros tiempos. Amigos, déjenlo que madure, que el “regueatón no es culpable".</div>

Vivir en mundos donde la corrupción, la miseria, y la vida agitada, hace a muchos perder los valores más importantes de cualquier Homo sapiens. El respeto, la lealtad, el compromiso, y saber<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"> el significado de la palabra familia, son cualidades que deben ser enseñadas primero en casa, luego en la escuela y a posteriori, enriquecidos por la sociedad donde viven. </span></div>

Tristeza me da de aquellos que hacen de su calendario un culto a la desidia, la falsedad y logran sobrevivir la caída continua al abismo espiritual. Ellos, nunca encontrarán la paz, su alma está pálida y enferma, no crecerán ya que no son capaces de amarse ni a si mismos.</div>

RYCY Productions is pleased to announce the release of Yalil Guerra’s new classical guitar single, entitled “Agustin Barrios Mangoré: Vals Op.8 No.4". In this recording, Guerra performs this “à la Viennese” waltz by Barrios, a standard of the classical guitar repertoire, with brilliance, expertise and passion. The virtuosic passagework and rhythmic cadenzas in all sections are well presented, with Guerra staying true to this dance style throughout the performance.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Barrios was a Paraguayan-born composer and guitarist (1885-1944). His compositions can be divided into three basic categories: folkloric, imitative and religious. Barrios paid tribute to the music and people of his native land by composing pieces modeled after folk songs from South America and Central America. Imitating the compositional style and techniques of the Baroque and Romantic periods was another side to his craftsmanship. "La Catedral" may be viewed as Barrios' tribute to Bach. It is believed that "La Catedral" was inspired by a religious experience for Barrios; therefore, the piece may also be categorized under religion. Religious beliefs and experiences also played an important role in Barrios' compositional process. Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios (Alms for the Love of God) is another example of a religiously-inspired work. Breaking down the works of Barrios into these three categories helps the guitar enthusiast to better understand Barrios's musical intent.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Guerra states: "Barrios Mangoré has always been one of my favorites guitar composers. Bringing out his musical poetry and meeting his technical challenges is always demanding for every guitarist. This composer is without a doubt a must for every guitarist's repertoire."</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Since its founding in 2007, the La Catrina String Quartet (LCSQ) has become recognized as the new vanguard for contemporary Latin American string quartet repertoire. Their mission is three-fold: a deep commitment to the cultivation of new works by living composers from the U.S. and throughout the Americas; the programming of existing Latin American works rarely performed in the U.S. and abroad, and bringing fresh interpretations to classical, romantic and twentieth century masterpieces. Hailed by Yo-Yo Ma as “wonderful ambassadors for Latin American music,” LCSQ members are from México (Daniel Vega-Albela, Jorge Martínez-Rios), Brazil (Roberta Arruda) and Chile (Jorge Espinoza). Their rich cultural origins convey an unparalleled stylistic authenticity and artistic vision in their performances, collaborations and recordings. It is this unique balance of core Latin American repertoire with American and European classical traditions that characterizes both the diversity of their concert programs and appeal to multi-cultural audiences.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In 2010, Symphony Space (NYC) under the direction of Laura Kaminsky commissioned Puerto Rican composer Roberto Sierra to write his “Cuarteto No. 2” for LCSQ. The quartet’s world premiere was held in 2011 as part of the new music festival “Wall to Wall Sonidos.” That same year they also collaborated with the heralded Cuarteto Latinoamericano for a definitive recording of “Seresta No. 2 for Double String Quartet” by twentieth century Brazilian composer Francisco Mignone. The CD “Brasileiro” featuring the piece won the 2012 Latin Grammy for Best Classical Recording. In October 2014, LCSQ will present the world premiere of a string quartet by Carlos Sánchez Gutiérrez, one of México’s most prestigious and celebrated contemporary composers. The work is commissioned by the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Guanajuato.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Recent and future collaborations featuring American composers and artists include Zae Munn’s commission “Our Hands Were Tightly Clenched” and a groundbreaking recording of contemporary and twentieth century American music with tuba player James Shearer. To document and distill their championing of Latin American repertoire over the course of several years and more than five hundred performances, LCSQ plans to release a multi-disc recording project, of which “América Latina: A Musical Canvas” is the first. LCSQ is currently string quartet-in residence at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. A significant part of their educational mission is to cultivate and expose an emerging generation of young listeners to the evolving multi-cultural face of contemporary chamber music through outreach programs.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Yalil Guerra. String Quartet No. 1, “A Mil Guerras Solo”: Firmly rooted in the twentieth century Latin American tradition of string quartet writing, Guerra opens his first quartet, “A Mil Guerras Solo” or “A Thousand Wars Alone,” with an Allegretto where he explores the open sonority of stacked fifths across the entire group, writing in double stops for everyone over a driving motive that alternates with a rhythmic ostinato by the cello, viola and second violin that is full of Latin American flair over which we hear angular melodies exchanged between the violins and the viola. The initial, fifths motive, serves as a jingle that frames this short movement. The second movement, Adagio, explores the expressive possibilities of the full string quartet sound. It is a ballad full of lyricism ornamented by an intricate dialogue between all the voices that creates the feeling of a slow, sensual dance. This is contrasted by a second section where the composer’s melodies and intense harmonies become almost expressionistic in nature, and in the tradition of the Second Viennese School, the movement closes with a deconstruction by way of pointillism a la Webern of the initial introductory material. The third movement, Allegreto, opens with a Mambo call played in unison that serves as the main motive of this final piece which to this listener sounds like a rondo cuasi una fantasia because of the dreamlike middle sections, in which it is easy to hear the composer’s ear for the visual. Here we also are treated to Guerra’s fascination with the juxtaposition of driving rhythms and variations with lyrical, sinuous melodies that he writes as response to the initial Mambo call.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Eduardo Gamboa. Cañambú: One of Cuba’s and Mexico’s most popular dance forms, Cañambú is a danzón, a two part dance which begins with a slow section, during which the dancers show the intricacy and intimacy of their choreography leading to the fast (montuno) section. The slow section is characterized by very small steps, which the dancers execute as close to each other as possible. It is said that a proper danzón couple ought to be able to negotiate these slow steps successfully on a cinder block without falling off of it. The slow dance, derived from the European contradanza, segues into a fast, montuno section, itself a variation on the Cuban son. This fast, swinging section is characterized by elaborate and virtuosic moves and turns, in a way similar to American Rock and Roll or Swing. It is in this section that the danzoneros, or danzón musicians, have the opportunity to improvise and show off their talent along with the dancing couple.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Gamboa conceived this danzón originally for string quartet or string orchestra, and taking advantage of his command of challenging and rhythmically intricate writing, he explores the possibilities of this popular dance form for the string quartet, making use of extended techniques such as playing “alla chitarra” (like a guitar) as well as by using various percussive effects such as striking different parts of the instruments in order to imitate the sound of the cañambú, a typical instrument in the percussion section of the danzón ensemble. For the closing section, Gamboa adds to this traditional dance a short fugato, which deviates if ever so slightly from the original dance, perhaps as a way of reminding the audience that we are still listening to a classical composer’s take on a popular dance form. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In the words of Eduardo Gamboa, “Cañambú is the name used in Cuba to refer to a certain bamboo cane, different from sugar cane and caña brava, which grows in Manigua Oriental, within the Santiago province. In the beginning of the 1940s, sonero (songwriter and performer) Arístides Ruíz came up with a way to use cañambú as a percussion instrument that would replace the bongos. The cañambucero (cañambú player) holds one segment of the cane in each hand, each cane being a different size, thereby achieving both a treble and a bass sound. Holding them in vertical position he strikes them against a small wooden bench. For the choir parts that alternate with the pregones (a pregonero is a town crier), I used a verse from Alejo Carpentier’s tale Oficio de Tinieblas, which reads as follows: ¡Ahí va, ahí va, ahí va la Lola, ahí va! (There she goes, there she goes, there goes Lola, there she goes!)”</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Yalil Guerra. String Quartet No. 2: Written in 2014 for LCSQ, this three-movement work uses a contemporary harmonic language, thick in counterpoint and rich textures that require great virtuosity and expressiveness as exemplified in the first movement, Largo e allegro con fuoco. This writing style is common to many of Guerra’s works, where a canvas of hidden rhythmic patterns and melodic elements from Cuba become structural elements of the composer’s musical language. The second movement, Adagio misterioso is reminiscent of guajiro chants, or Cuban peasant chants as portrayed by the first violin through a series of phrases constructed against the backdrop of a continuously changing contrapuntal texture by the remaining instruments, which serves as the structure for the main section of this movement. The quartet closes with an intensely rhythmic Prestissimo in which the composer uses canonic imitation as the template for a returning rhythmic ostinato that forms the main motive of the movement, which he then contrasts with an equally intense section where he juxtaposes lyricism with a running, intricately woven scherzando commentary that serves both to provide form as well as dynamic motion. The ostinato motive is used throughout as material for experimentation with textural variations, and the movement comes to an exciting finale where the composer pays homage to Beethoven by citing the “destiny call” from his fifth symphony. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Alberto Ginastera. String Quartet No. 1: Considered by many to be the foremost Argentinean composer, Alberto Ginastera (1916 – 1983) was part of the last generation of composers of the late Romantic period, one of the most important offshoots of which is Nationalism, a movement that sought to integrate the aesthetic and formal ideals of western classical traditions in music with sounds and rhythms from indigenous peoples throughout the world. Thus, many composers of the time embraced the idea of contributing to the national identity of their countries of origin by compiling, transcribing and studying extensively the native music of their motherland. It is thanks to these composers that a new discipline in the study of music came into being, namely, ethnomusicology, which in its broadest terms is the study of the music of the world. Some of the most famous nationalistic composers include Modest Mussorgsky (Russia), Antonin Dvorak (Bohemia), Jean Sibelius (Finland) and Ralph Vaughan Williams (England). </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Ginastera’s String Quartet No. 1 uses as its main compositional materials the sounds and rhythms from the gauchos (Argentinean cowboys) and from the peasants of Las Pampas, the fertile lowlands of South America. This work belongs to Ginastera’s “Subjective Nationalism” period, in which without taking melodies and rhythms directly from Argentinean folk music, he nevertheless relies heavily on them to derive the fascinating sonorities he achieves, much like we may hear in the later works of Bartok and Kodaly. Thus, the first movement evokes the driving rhythms and open sonorities of gaucho music, and if we allow the mind’s eye to wonder, it is easy to picture these South American cowboys horseback riding through the open plains of Las Pampas. The second movement of the quartet – the most challenging for the players – represents a peasant dance called Malambo between two young men coming of age that serves as a rite of passage and which is characterized by very fast, aggressive movements. It is a protracted dance intended to allow for only one of the young men to remain standing – in essence it is a challenge to the stamina of the contestants. As the movement comes to a close Ginastera uses his wit to ingenuously depict the victor, which he signals by the cello playing the very last note. The third movement is a sort of Nocturne in which the composer uses the quartet to imitate the sound of the open strings in a guitar – a motive that we find repeatedly throughout his compositions – as an introduction to the solo violin melody, upon which the cello later elaborates in the middle of the movement. In all likelihood Ginastera composed this beautiful movement to showcase his wife, the prominent cellist Aurora-Natola Ginastera. The last movement returns to the driving rhythms and sonorities of the first, this time interspersed with long pizzicato sections intended to evoke the sound of guitars.</span></div>
