Description

Elegiac Preludes is a series of six pieces for guitar composed in 2021 and dedicated to guitarist Zaira Meneses. They were conceived as a tribute to important figures in music from different contexts and geographies.

Each piece bears the subtitle Omaggio a:

• I. Julian Bream
• II. Robert Vidal
• III. José María de Iparraguirre
• IV. Carlos Fariñas
• V. Jean Sibelius
• VI. Dmitry Shostakovich

These tributes reflect both personal affinities and cultural and aesthetic references that have accompanied Brouwer throughout his career.
