Summer Sonatina is part of a series of works that, together with Autumn Sonatina, Winter Sonatina and Spring Sonatina, form a closed cycle in which - based on different instrumentation and the same language - I intend to evoke the sensations I receive in each of the seasons, either through a personal experience or the simple contemplation of the landscape.
Writing for solo guitar is always a challenge, but encouraged by guitarist Fix Nicolet I decided to undertake the composition of this work structured in three movements that describe, in each one, the character of some of the summer winds that have the most meaning for me. .
- Etesios: Strong wind from Greece that alleviates the suffocating heat of summer afternoons. Thus, the first movement is light and happy brushstroke of slight bursts and moments of calm by way of description.
- Matsukaze: In Japan, it is the sound that in the forests, a gentle breeze produces in the leaves of the pines, where in the summer afternoons it is the custom to go for a walk or rest. In this way, the second movement is slow, contemplative, evoking the calm moment of a nap under the canopy of the trees, broken only, briefly, by some bad dream, which sometimes causes us intense heat, returning to the former maintained and soft calm.
- Albornes and Grecale: The third movement is named after two contrasting winds, the albonese is a wind from the eastern area that appears in the late afternoon, is unpredictable, powerful and makes navigation dangerous.
Thus the first part of this movement, like the wind, is fast, powerful and fickle, riddled with changes of course and sudden gusts. The grecale is, however, a gentle breeze from northern Italy that for a few brief minutes relieves the humid heat of the area and then disappears until the next day. For this reason the second part of the movement is sweet and calm as a reverie that envelops you for a moment in a peace alien to suffocating reality. Then the man from the bathrobes returns, but this time more wild and runaway, precipitating the movement towards an abrupt end.
