Musical Clichés. Visions of Spain
Exotic Impressions

22, 23 February 2019

Introduction

In the nineteenth century, Spain was an exotic and oriental country for France. Writers and composers forged a consciousness that achieve its highest expressions in novels and in the opera Carmen, as well as in colourful orchestral works such as Chabrier’s España. A short time later, composers like Ravel and Debussy would begin to encounter a compositional resource in the peculiarities of Spanish popular music with which to break the rules of a tonal system in the process of decomposition.
