Composer's Notes

After writing my first concerto for violin and orchestra Altar de Cuerda dedicated to the talented violinist María Dueñas, the idea arose at her request to write a new piece for violin and piano as a musical capriccio.

This is how De Cuerda y Madera was born, a playful and eclectic piece that develops in a free way using the violin and the piano in a constant dialogue of high musical virtuosity.

The work is divided into three sections: two of them (first and last) of a fast and lively nature, based on ideas that somehow arise from Afro-Caribbean or folkloric music. In the central part there is a small section of a slower and more cantabile character that serves as a musical contrast and repose. In the third section I decided to add a small cadenza for the violin which is slightly accentuated with some piano interventions and which prepares the final coda.

The piece is dedicated to María Dueñas who was the total inspiration for writing this music.
