Coste : Pièces de Concert II - Intégrale de l'Oeuvre pour guitare - Volume 7

Description

The Volume VII of the Complete Works for Guitar by Napoléon Coste, Pièces de concert II, brings together some of his most ambitious pages, shaped in the Parisian climate where the guitar claimed a dignity equal to the great musical forms. At the center of the program are the works linked to the Makaroff competition of 1856: from the vast and changing Fantaisie symphonique op. 28b to the Grande Sérénade op. 30, where theatrical gesture and thematic construction pursue and respond to each other. La Chasse des Sylphes op. 29 transforms the romantic imagination into a true instrumental narrative, while La Ronde de Mai op. 42 concludes with a divertissement that retains the elegance of the salon without renouncing a real harmonic density.
