Placa de Sant Just

My piece is inspired by the the medieval Barcelona, and the gothic part of town, which I find magic. I lived in this part of town, very close to the birthplace of the guitarist Miguel Llobet, Placa de Sant Just. When you walk around the narrow streets, the shadows are particular, and small squares appears everywhere. It is like going on a treasure hunt. With the words in my mind of Ildefonso Falcones in his book “The Cathedral of the sea” and my own experiences, I describe through music the Barcelona medieval. In contribute to Llobet, it is a tremolo piece, which is a guitar technique.

When you walk around Barcelona, you feel the presence of artists like Fernando Sor, Isaac Albeniz, Pau Casals and Miguel Llobet, the guitar teacher of Segovia. You feel  inspiration.
