Sombras blancas by Juan María Solare

Música para piano solo

Esta es la versión preliminar del álbum que saldrá el 19 de noviembre de 2017 en Spotify, iTunes., etc.

La frase proviene de un poema de Barthold Hinrich Brockes (Hamburg 1680-1747), "Kirschblüte bei der Nacht":
"sogar den Schatten weiß und sonder Schwärze hat."

The paradoxical term sombras blancas (White Shadows) can refer to problems in life that don't leave negative sequels or by-products. It also means: foreshadows of good things to come. And if shadows are like a mirror of our bodies (or souls), a "white shadow" reflects the luminous part of us.

Translated into everyday language: it's about music that underlines our most positive aspects. Entertaining, but with depth.

The influence of tango music in this programme is undeniable (after all, Yours Truly was born in Argentina); however, this album's music goes far beyond tango and reveals my classical background - such as Chopin.

Sombras blancas covers three decades of my pianistic output, from 1985 to 2016.

Casually, many of these white shadows are related to women that were or are important in my life, and not only couples or unfulfilled loves: Edelmira and -especially- Flora were my nannies in my first months and years of life.

Casually also, many of these pieces are in the key of E minor.
