Скачать или смотреть Agustín Calabrese | "Pájaro Eléctrico" (2017) para piano.

Program notes:

Pájaro Eléctrico (Electric Bird) was written between January and February 2017. In the first sector, unpredictable rhythmic patterns, requiring great virtuosity by the pianist, express several lines that unfold in different registers.
These are interrupted from time to time by dense chords. The juxtaposition of textures is reinterpreted later producing dramatic contrast in the character of the piece. Quasi-tonal slow passages appear, which nevertheless take the harmonies of the previous sections as a starting point.
The harmonic content is also used as a way to generate contrast between diatonic or pentatonic colors, and highly chromatic ones.

The work was premiered by Irma Peruyero on September 27th 2017at FICA21 International Festival, at the auditorium of the University of Veracruz's Music Faculty.
