Juan María Solare: On the Concept of Limit (seven piano pieces)

In this work crystallises an idea that has been haunting me for some time: that the titles of the individual pieces should read like lines of a poem:

1) Up to a Certain Point

2) Nothing Gets Lost

3) Yet All Will Be Forgotten

4) At the End of the Day

5) Even the Sky Has a Limit

6) However, However

7) Only the Present Has No Limits

 

There is a fancy order of keys in this cycle: in ascending thirds (both major and minor but without a regularity). Indirectly, this is a structural quotation of Beethoven's variations Opus 34 (only that he chose a descending order of keys). Additionally, you will find three times 4/4 time signature and three times 3/4, and one instance of 5/8 (asymmetrically arranged).

1) C major (4/4)

2) E major (3/4)

3) G minor (4/4)

4) B major (4/4)

5) D minor (5/8)

6) F minor (3/4)

7) A major (3/4)

 

The seventh and last piece is dedicated to Martina Lindner, the mother of a student and a good friend of mine, who shares a birthday with me.


These pieces were composed in Bremen, Germany, in September 2021.


The premiere of the entire cycle was performed by Sebastián Pérez Porta in Buenos Aires (a few weeks ago).

The fingerings I include in the score are not mandatory; they are the ones I use myself. Each hand is different, and it's not impossible that you may find others more suitable (although I doubt it).

When there are no pedal indications, it can be used at the discretion of the pianist.
