Once Upon a Dream - a legendary song from the Disney film 'Sleeping Beauty' in an instrumental piano version by Juan María Solare. The original melody was composed by the classical composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and adapted for the film a century later. The present version, in a way, restores the music to the purely instrumental character of Tchaikovsky's original: a melodic waltz for piano.

This tune was extraordinary popular in the pianist's childhood. Later in life he returns to this music and produces a version of this melody from a mature perspective.

"Danzarín" by Julián Plaza is undoubtly part of the unspoken "canon" of sacred pieces of the tango world. Here we listen Juan María Solare's version for solo piano.

Every composer has a signature piece, not necessarily his best, which defines his style, his intimacy. Danzarín (Little Dancer) is thus a concentration of Julián Plaza's artistic personality. The first theme, a rhythm injection, builds on a pianistic device called "campanitas" or little bells: rhythmed dissonances in the high register. Typical of this composer is a second theme cantabile in the cello register. (From the liner notes of Solare's CD "Tango Monologues", http://www.juanmariasolare.com/CD_tango_monologues.html)

La voz del sur (The voice of the south) is a a tranquil, romantic, minimalistic tune for solo piano.
It is the fourth of the cycle " Himmelsrichtungen " (Cardinal Points), which are six piano pieces composed and performed by Juan María Solare (an Argentine pianist who lives in Germany).

The title Himmelsrichtungen, literally "directions of the sky", means actually "cardinal points". Usually they are four, but the composer added two (zenith and nadir), because they determine the third dimension: we are not more conceiving a bidimensional world, but a tridimensional one. This represents the overcoming, the generalization of the system (of any system). The cover art (by Alban Low, London) echoes this idea of three-dimensionality.

The musical language integrates tonality (more traditional pieces) and post-tonality (more experimental). This album, which can be filed under the genre contemporary classical (neo-classical), offers an accessible avant-garde sound with a transparent "melocentric" approach.

De profundis, for electric guitar, by Juan María Solare

This work incarnates an apparent contradiction:

The musical genre "De profundis", derived from the Salm 130, is usually associated with religious thought. The instrument, electric guitar, is usually associated with atheistic or even demoniac ideologies related to rock and metal.

But there is no contradiction. An agnostic guitarist can be so disappointed with the world as to address any God from the depths of his soul. Those who are free of conflicts, go ahead and throw the first stone.

Some months ago I purchased a grand piano (Feurich).
Endly I have my own instrument in Europe.
The title is a wink to Nils Frahm's piece "Nils has a new piano"

This piece was composed and recorded on 23 march 2017, especially for the World Piano Day 2017
Released by: Janus Music & Sound, Bremen.

"Juan has a new piano" was re-recorded in Cervelló and will be part of an upcoming, still secret album (stay tuned).

According to http://www.pianoday.org :
"Piano Day, a annual worldwide event founded by a group of likeminded people, takes place on the 88th day of the year – in 2017 it’s the 29th March – because of the number of keys on the instrument being celebrated."

Mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam was composed in Bremen (Germany) on 30th January 2017, shortly after knowing about the death of Uwe Kolkmeyer, musician and caricaturist to whom this piano piece is dedicated in memoriam.

In Sufism exists an allegory (attributed to Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi) according to which the essences of the possible beings do exist in the darkness before being manifested by the divine light, as the motes of dust suspended in the air in a darken room don't become visible until they are lit by a light ray.

A certain optimistic atmosphere in this work may surprise, the opposite of what is usually associated with death. In my works the tonality of A major often expresses consolation.

Numbered Places

JUAN MARIA SOLARE - Three Bridges - Piano

Solare unifies in his person -and his esthetic- diverse tensions: contemporary music and tango argentino, South and North, composition and performance... The stylistic elements of his musical Oeuvre include a tendency to aphoristic, a quote of unbribable melancholy, a dose of irony and humor (related to the surrealistic absurd), and an aspiration towards sublimity. Solare considers that art music and light music are not irreconcilable extremes, but poles in a force field, and moves himself comfortably between both points with a very personal "musical bilingualism". In Solare's Work, these differences can -may- coexist without contradictions.
