Un concierto para Violín especial / A special Violin concert

in music •  5 years ago 

Hola querida comunidad, espero estén muy bien! Quería agradecerles por tan bonita receptividad a todos, mil gracias por los comentarios los cuales no puedo responder todos porque se me van muy rápidos los recursos. Pero mil gracias!!

Hoy les quiero hablar de una oportunidad muy especial que tuve que fue la de estrenar un concierto para Violín en mi país, siendo este ganador de un Latín Grammy en el 2017. Pero antes les quiero poner en contexto contandoles un poco de los meses anteriores al estreno...

En ese entonces Venezuela estaba pasando por un momento muy duro, pues prácticamente TODO estaba paralizado por manifestaciones en cada rincón del país. Hubo muchas muertes y muchos heridos, donde en muchas regiones de este hubo toques de queda, incluyendo mi estado/provincia.

Yo, desde hace años vengo teniendo días sumamente ocupados, básicamente con clases en las mañanas, ensayos o clases luego de la hora de almuerzo y ensayo con la orquesta hasta las 9pm, siendo este mi horario de lunes a viernes en aquel entonces. Al comienzo de las manifestaciones hubo ensayos que eran interrumpidos por el personal de seguridad de la institución debido a que el humo de las bombas lacrimogenas llegaban a la sede de ensayo, y debíamos irnos a nuestras casas. Días después pasé de este horario a estar todo el día encerrado en la casa, y luego de esos días pasé a meses, donde ya las consecuencias era preocuparme por mi futuro, teniendo decadencia en mis ánimos.

A raíz de esta bajadas de ánimo constantes pues decidí hacer algo, algo diferente que me ayudara a mi a mentenerme enfocado, dentro de un país que prácticamente no tenía enfoque alguno.

Se me habían ocurrido muchas cosas pero la que agarró mucho más peso fue estudiarme alguna obra nueva en el violin. Pasaron los días y no encontraba nada, pues nada tenía mi total atención hasta que llegué a una grabación de un concierto para Violín de una compositora que había leído de ella hace poco. Lo escuché completo y me gustó, era algo muy argentino (por lo cual siempre, sobretodo últimamente, he tenido un cariño muy grande)

Al día siguiente, al tener todo en claro, había recordado que tenía un inconveniente pues las partituras no estaban en Internet así que la única forma de tener las partituras era hablando con la compositora y comprarlas (que iba a ser bastante caro) así estaba bastante convencido que todo tenía un sacrificio.
Al día siguiente de haberme comunicado con la compositora tuve la respuesta afirmativa de ella, agradeciendome el interés en su obra, dándome una de las sorpresas más lindas!

Meses después pude concretar una fecha con mi orquesta, la Sinfónica de Lara, después de muchos intentos de fechas que hubo por problemas de las impresiones, de la sala de concierto, de todo.

Dicho todo esto quería hacerles saber a todos quienes me leen lo importante que es para mí este concierto y lo importante que es Claudia Montero en mi carrera, pues ella quizás sin darse cuenta me ayudo a no dejar la música y mantenerme allí, estudiando, así que por eso y más mil gracias querida Claudia! Es increíble cómo un concierto para Violín puede ayudarte tanto a salir de momentos tan difíciles!

Este concierto como les dije tiene un aire porteño nato, pues la compositora es Argentina.

En los 3 movimientos ella quiso hacer notar diferentes sentimientos, con características muy Piazzolla que son muy notorias.

Acá les adjuntaré 3 videos cortos de cada movimiento, espero les guste!

Dos datos curiosos, 1) el violinista de la grabación que escuché en aquel entonces del concierto es uno de mis profesores en la Orquesta Juvenil Nacional San Martín, vaya vueltas da la vida no? 2) la compositora Claudia Montero ya ha ganado 4 Latin Grammy actualmente.


Hello dear community, I hope you are very well! I wanted to thank you for such a beautiful receptivity to all, thank you very much for the comments which I cannot answer all because the resources are very fast. But thanks a lot !!

Today I want to talk about a very special opportunity that I had that was to premiere a concert for Violin in my country, being this winner of a Latin Grammy in 2017. But first I want to put them in context telling them a bit of the months before the premiere...

At that time Venezuela was going through a very hard time, because practically EVERYTHING was paralyzed by demonstrations in every corner of the country. There were many deaths and many wounded, where in many regions of this there were curfews, including my state / province.

I have been having busy days for years, basically with classes in the mornings, rehearsals or classes after lunch and rehearsal with the orchestra until 9pm, this being my schedule from Monday to Friday at the time. At the beginning of the demonstrations there were trials that were interrupted by the institution's security personnel because the smoke from the tear pumps reached the test site, and we had to go to our homes. Days later I went from this schedule to being all day locked in the house, and after those days I went to months, where the consequences were to worry about my future, having decay in my spirits.

As a result of this constant mood drops, I decided to do something, something different that would help me to stay focused, within a country that had virtually no focus.

Many things had occurred to me but the one that caught a lot more weight was studying me some new work in the violin. The days went by and I couldn't find anything, because nothing had my full attention until I came to a recording of a Violin concert by a composer I had read about her recently. I listened to it completely and I liked it, it was something very Argentine (which is why, always, especially lately, I have had a very big affection)

The next day, having everything clear, I had remembered that I had a problem because the scores were not on the Internet so the only way to have the scores was to talk to the composer and buy them (which was going to be quite expensive) so it was quite convinced that everything had a sacrifice.
The day after I contacted the composer I had her affirmative answer, thanking me for the interest in her work, giving me one of the most beautiful surprises!

Months later I was able to specify a date with my orchestra, Lara Symphony, after many attempts at dates that were due to printing problems, the concert hall, everything.

Having said all this, I wanted to let everyone who read me know how important this concert is for me and how important Claudia Montero is in my career, because she perhaps without realizing it helped me not to leave the music and stay there, studying, so Thanks for that and thank you dear Claudia! It's amazing how a concert for Violin can help you get out of such difficult times!

This concert as I told you has a born Buenos Aires air, because the composer is Argentina.

In the 3 movements she wanted to make different feelings notice, with very Piazzolla characteristics that are very noticeable.

Here I will attach 3 short videos of each movement, I hope you like it!

Two curious facts, 1) the violinist of the recording that I heard at the time of the concert is one of my professors in the San Martín National Youth Orchestra, what turns around does life not? 2) composer Claudia Montero has already won 4 Latin Grammy currently.
