🇵🇹 Estas cinco pequenas peças foram concebidas de forma a que cada uma delas tivesse carácter próprio, mas ao mesmo tempo, dependessem umas das outras. Contudo, a ordem delas é intransigente: uma primeira peça de carácter lento, seguida de uma de carácter rápido, e assim sucessivamente, as duas peças dos extremos, 1.A_zul, e 5.A_final, ligadas à composição de Arnold Schönberg, as três peças do meio, 2.A_llegro, 3.A_norte e 4.A_sul, cercadas e protegidas pelo génio e livres de compromissos.

🇬🇧 These five short piano pieces were originally conceived through the influence of Arnold Schönberg. However, as work progressed on the pieces, the composer eventually abandoned his original idea, keeping only the first and last pieces under Schönberg’s influence. He explains: “I wished to compose 5 Little Piano Pieces in a way that each one would have its own character, and, at the same time depend on the others….” 1.A_zul (Blue) – Composed not with a dodecaphonic series, but rather with different micromodes that present an interesting melodic and harmonic result. It is a Lento. 2.A_llegro – This fast appropriately follows the first slow one. 3.A_norte (to the north) 4.A_sul (to the south) 5.A_final – composed second, but placed last in the series.
