Pasticcio Espagnol 2022

Special Concert - Works for Piano Duo and Songs for Soprano


Music with the epithet "Espagnol" became a kind of topos in the second half of the 19th century, to which musicians between France and Russia paid tribute. This time, however, it is less about Chabrier or Rimsky-Korsakov, but more about pieces from Spain. Exceptions prove the rule, as when the Austrian Hugo Wolf wrote a "Spanish songbook" on the basis of poetry by a German. Manuel de Falla's precious cycle of Spanish folk songs must not be missing from this evening's colourful round. Like much Spanish or Spanish-inspired music, it is interwoven with the ancient dance songs of the flamenco, which unites many ethnic groups of the Iberian peninsula with almost mystical energy. And clear the stage for the youth - because on this evening students of the Precollege of the Tyrolean State Conservatory will present themselves.
