The Music Professor | Is This Composer the 20th Century's Chopin? @themusicprofessor | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Federico Mompou (1893 - 1987) was a Spanish (Catalan) composer and pianist. His music is highly individual. Like Chopin, he wrote almost exclusively for piano. Early in his career, he developed a compositional style which he called “primitivism”. He wanted his music to appeal directly to the senses and the spirit, with a raw, almost magical power. Like Erik Satie before him, he preferred to dispense with bar lines, time signatures and complex forms and developments. His melodies were derived from the sounds of folk songs and Gregorian chant; his unique harmony was influenced by Debussy and Ravel and Scriabin, and the resonance of bells in his family’s bell foundry, which he listened to as a child. Much of the power of his music derives from the combination of innocence and simplicity in his melodic style, and the rich enigmatic sonority of his chords. These elements give his music its haunting, dream-like quality.
'Jeunes Filles au Jardin' is the fourth in a set of evocative piano pieces called 'Scenes d’Enfants’ published in 1921.
