Deux Airs
populaires cubains (Dos
aires populares cubanos)
and Deux Thèmes
populaires cubains (Dos
temas populares cubanos)
were written in the 1960s
and published by
Ãditions Max Eschig in
1972 and 1978. These two
pieces belong to the
genre of arrangements of
popular songs for solo
instruments that was a
widespread presence in
the plucked-string
repertoire from the
sixteenth century on. In
these two cycles, Leo
Brouwer reworks Cuban
popular music with his
usual instrumental
originality. In the first
cycle, Brouwer did not
alter any of the melodic
or structural elements of
the original songs, only
embellishing these with
introductions, harmony,
and some structure. In
the second cycle however,
the original dance was
composed by Brouwer
himself, imitating Cuban
popular music
characterised by both
Spanish and African
influences. Rather than
being based on actual
folk repertoire, it draws
its inspiration from it
and attempts to recreate
its sonic ambiance.
Zigante interventions,
made on the scores
published during the
1970s, consist of the
correction of a few
errors and restoring some
of the original repeat
signs as conceived by
Brouwer. Any fingering
indicationswere added by
Leo Brouwer himself.
