La originalidad de un sinónimo - Preludio

about

‘La originalidad de un sinónimo’ nació como un reto geométrico y derivó en paradoja lingüística. Fue dedicada a tan expresiva y brillante pianista, como es Irene Domingo Castaño.

Esta pieza quedó confeccionada a base de notas que dibujan triángulos imaginarios en la partitura, los cuales progresan y se desfiguran a distintos ritmos interválicos.

Y expuestos así, vienen a representar cuantos sinónimos coinciden en órbita respecto a un centro de gravedad que sí que significa, renunciando todos a su originalidad. Incluso haciendo su propio núcleo tal sacrificio.

'The originality of a synonym' is an attempt to convey how every word (every music cell) is, in a certain sense, uncapable of creating euphony (that is, significance) without surrounding ingredients of language validating it.

Even synoyms are born of different conventional tools and roots, having diverse connotations alone. However, they sound integrated into a whole context (a speech) that could belong to a Gestalt Psychologie big picture (e.g.: the well-tempered system).

In case of this piano piece, the twisting of its intervals makes feasible to percieve (I would say: to feel) a global comprehension of how its discourse evolves. My goal at composing is to create changes of mood, founded in paradoxical meanings throughout different connections of linguistic elements.
