| Sumario: | [EN] Summary Doctoral Thesis "The works for piano by Rafael Rodríguez Albert" Rafael Rodríguez Albert (1902-1979), Alicante-born composer, belonged both chronologically and aesthetically to the so-called "Generación del 27". His works for piano occupy a prominent position within his wide and complex musical production. They are twenty-one compositions written in different moments of his creative evolution which posses a high and interesting musical quality, showing some of the most representative tendencies in music in the 20th century. Many of them are very little known at present and even less performed, as they are usually neither part of the concert programmes nor included in the curricula of the Conservatories. In the study of this corpus we can find Manuel de Falla's influence, neoclassical aesthetics, his visits to Paris, his admiration for Ravel and Stravinsky, as well as the idea that music cannot be descriptive. For traditional musical historiography, Rodríguez Albert's music has been defined under topics such as "levantina" (typical from the Levante region of Spain) or that follows Óscar Esplá's line. But, as he indicated, he used different "levantino" themes giving them a more universal character. He was a versatile musician, a brilliant pianist, speaker, teacher, critic and transcriber of scores to the Braille system. His compositions were successfully received by the critics and the audience and won several different awards. After a thorough study, unknown to the present, of his piano compositions, this Doctoral Thesis aims at contributing to a greater interest in and acknowledgement of the composer and his music. |
