The atmosphere of the music of Gabriel Fauré, filled with highly personal harmonies which on one hand flew in the face of the tenants of Impressionism and on the other hand recreated the tonal variety of Post-Romanticism, are found throughout this work. It is another example of the simplicity with which Manuel Blancafort manifests his sonic world. It is a true miracle of simplicity, tenderness and tremendous sincerity in a style of writing always direct and avoids any elements of false sophistication. However, this style was fashionable in the era in which our much admired composer lived.

To write «in the style of...» meanwhile preserving his own mark is the successful result of this work that distills the characteristic perfume that we also find in Blancafort’s Nocturnes. And, in conclusion, I would like to make a personal comment: in the similarities of style that are obviously part of this type of composition what most impresses me are precisely the differences that we can detect between the Fauré style and that of the unmistakable personality of Blancafort. The work was composed in 1942
