ish comments:
Given
that Granados' creative
periods continually
overlap, in order to
organize the works of
Granados' Juvenilia this
edition has grouped the
works according to their
chronological-biographica
l order and/or to their
style. The majority of
the works in this section
were composed between his
student years in Paris
(1887-1889) and the
founding of the Academia
Granados in 1901. Many of
these works are quite
similar to one another
being sketches and brief
compositions
characterised by an
unfocused formal
structure, harmonic
ambiguity and a tendency
to place the final
cadence on the dominant.
The fact that many of
these works were not
highly developed would
tend to suggest that they
were never revised by the
composer. Typical of a
young composer focusing
on his own personal
inspirations, Granados
concentrated on themes of
nature, oriental motifs,
exploration of emotions,
frequently making use of
the salonnier (salon)
genre.
Comentarios del
Espanol:
Para
organizar la edicion de
los apartados
correspondientes a las
obras juveniles de
Granados se ha partido de
los criterios cronologico
- biograficos y de estilo
dado que, aunque los
periodos creativos del
compositor se mezclan
continuamente, la mayor
parte de las obras de
este apartado fueron
escritas entre su etapa
de estudiante en Paris y
la fundacion de la
Academia Granados en 1901
y, a pesar de presentar
una gran heterogeneidad
entre ellas, se trata de
esbozos y breves
composiciones
caracterizadas por una
estructura formal poco
destacada, marcada por la
ambiguedad armonica y por
una tendencia a colocar
la cadencia final en la
dominante. La poca
elaboracion de la mayor
parte de estas obras
delata que probablemente
ni tan siquiera fueran
revisadas posteriormente
por el compositor. Todas
ellas son propias de un
compositor joven y
responden a los temas
propios del momento como
son la naturaleza, los
motivos orientales o la
exaltacion de los
sentimientos. El recurso
al genero salonnier
(obras de salon) y las
dedicatorias a senoras y
senoritas son tambien
recursos propios de la
epoca.
