Vocal Etude No. 2
A concentrated vocal work, direct enough to serve as a first encounter with Juan's compositional language.
Composer-pianist
Juan's music grows from the same discipline as his playing: line, gesture, memory, theatre and the piano as a point of origin.
Composer profile
Juan's original works can be heard, watched and placed in conversation with his classical performance profile.
A concentrated vocal work, direct enough to serve as a first encounter with Juan's compositional language.
An orchestral-facing work with available video documentation.
Stage-oriented music presented through current media material.
Composer-pianist
The composer and pianist are not separate figures. The original works extend the same concern with form, voice and musical time.
A recital can place Juan's own music beside classical repertoire, allowing new work and inherited form to illuminate one another.
Video
The clearest introduction to the work is the work itself: voice, image, sound and recorded performance.
Stage and theatre
Dance, theatre and staged movement open another part of Juan's writing: music made to meet gesture, space and dramatic time.
Premiere context
Gratia Maxima connects Juan's compositional work with a broader stage language: movement, image, ritual and public space.
The theatrical works sit beside the piano-centred material, widening the composer profile without repeating the same recordings.
Audio sample
A short audio entry into texture, atmosphere and musical pacing.
Programme idea
A composer-pianist programme can join inherited form with new work: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven or Chopin placed beside Juan's own scores.
