On one occasion, Ricard Lamote de Grignon stated in an interview that: «I don’t pigeon-hole myself into a specific musical trend. I can be extremely conservative when necessary, and very avant-garde in other occasions. I have strived to develop as broad a variety of styles as possible to enrich my vocabulary so I can express myself in any range of the musical language». The Suite Innominada, written in 1939, is possibly the piano work which most faithfully reflects this eclecticism which characterises the composer: the first two movements – dark, mournful and obsessive – seem to return to the sound world of the Preludis a l’amic absent (Preludes for an Absent Friend) written in 1935 and undoubtedly his most ambitious and successful piano piece. The third movement, however, which in reality is more an introduction of sorts to the fourth one – providing a hesitating preview of the main theme – lets the listener catch a glimpse of a very different language and nature. The serene minuet which follows was written from prison in 1939, a circumstance which is not reflected in the imperturbably calm music. Finally, the fifth movement is a rustic-sounding dance, very close to some of Frederic Mompou’s or Manuel Blancafort’s folklore-inspired music.
