Version for Symphony Orchestra of Preludis a l'Amic absent (Preludes to the Absent Friend).
Preludis a l´amic absent by Ricard Lamote de Grignon is, without doubt, his most notable work for piano, and possibly one of the most important pieces of Catalan piano music written in the first half of the 20th Century. Equally notable, although much less known, is the composer’s version for symphonic orchestra and harp, also written in 1935, which was premiered at the Liceo on March 19, 1936 —four months before the Spanish Civil War began.
Preludis a l´amic absent is dedicated to his friend Ventura Gassol, who was exiled for political reasons following his arrest on the ship Uruguay due to the proclamation of the Catalan State by Lluís Companys. The three Preludes are based on a unusual compositional technique: each one uses only seven notes of the twelve notes of the chromatic scale. This technique, rather than limiting the expressive possibilities of the music, allowed the composer to create an individual atmosphere in each piece. The first Prelude is solid, with certain similarities to Scriabin in the lyrical middle section. The second Prelude is tempestuous, but, like the first one, also has a middle section which is more tranquil in which there is an ostinato accompaniment for the broad melody, which seems to recall Mussorgsky. The third Prelude is similar to the floating, ethereal sonorities of Debussy.
