All of them belong to the aesthetic of neo-classical music, in some cases with a salt of tango flavour (clear in Premonición). The fingerings in the scores are only suggestions - albeit meaningful ones. Be sure that they have been tested in practice. Those are the fingerings that I actually use.  Listen to this album in Spotify and similar streaming platforms:https://open.spotify.com/album/3L4VfFsqSb4iax62Wl3FOd https://juanmariasolare.bandcamp.com/album/from-a-window All the pieces were performed by the composer, Juan María Solare, and recorded at the Studio Onix II, Cervelló / Barcelona, Spain, in January 2018.

Juan Maria Solare #4717703. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.596568). Has the Rain a Father? This piece exists in two versions: Piano solo Guitar solo (without or with electronic sounds) The piano version has no huge secrets (to clarify: the pedal is used da capo al fine without interruption). The guitar version is written in three keys: E, G and A (Dorian). The performer may choose one or another score at their convenience. The guitar version can also use effects of all kinds, or amplifiers that are not always used in classical music. At the end of 2019 an album will be released on Spotify and other online music platforms with both versions of the piece (solo piano and acoustic guitar with electronic sounds). As an example of the amplitude that the composer expects from the performers: in this record production, the guitar signal is split in two parts, panned to the right and left, and different types of effects are applied to each channel (chorus, delay, reverb of different kinds and with different parameters). The original guitar signal is also in the center. Of course, there are also the electronic sounds themselves. A preliminary version can be heard here: https://juanmariasolare.bandcamp.com/album/has-the-rain-a-father Has the Rain a Father? is a quote from the bible, specifically from the book of Job 38:28. It is part of a series of rhetorical questions that tend to convince Job of his ignorance. Has the Rain a Father? was composed in Bremen (Germany) on March 17, 2019 (plus details to the piano part on March 27). Its duration is about 4:30. I asked some people about the wording of the title. Among the meaningful answers:   Which wording is better, Has the rain a Father? or Does the Rain have a father? (Bible, Job, 38:28). It will be used as the title of a music piece for piano. Has the Rain a Father? is slightly unusual, and thus is attention-grabbing, something you want in a title. It sounds more biblical, calling attention to the allusion. In ordinary speech the Does the . . . version is more common, but for a title you don’t necessarily want common. (Johnny Wilson, former Writer and Magazine Editor (1973-1999))

Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.596611). Juan María Solare: Hamacando a las mellizas (Swinging Twins or Swinging the twins)  a children blues for piano  This work was born -precisely- while rocking (swinging) my twins Laura and Alma, as an improvised melody that accompanied their activity (or rather mine). From there to write it down there was only one step. As a second theme, it seemed appropriate to invert the melody, since twinhood implies a certain specular symmetry.  Hamacando a las mellizas has the traditional structure of the twelve-bar blues, and a merry, innocent and carefree character.  Hamacando a las mellizas was composed in Bremen (Germany) between June 21 and 23, 2020. Shortly afterwards, adaptations for a variety of instrumental combinations were written, such as - alto saxophone, double bass and piano (*) - clarinet, double bass and piano - violin and piano - clarinet quartet   The version for clarinet quartet was premiered within the framework of the IV International Festival of Clarinets of San Martín de los Andes (Argentina), which took place online from November 12 to 15, 2020.

Juan Maria Solare #4794205. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.596572). 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 it is dedicated in memoriam.   The title refers to a thought by Carl Sagan: planet earth is a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. An old idea that, of course, was not expressed by him for the first and only time. 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.   Selma Hande Gade (a Turkish pianist that lives in Denmark), with whom we had discussed possible titles for this work, recorded a home video in March 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtzhHqB_Nb4   After listening to this recording, Luis Alberto Vittor wrote a report on this work for the blog Analecta Literaria (https://actaliteraria.blogspot.com), it will be published soon.   The composer made a commercial recording for the label Janus Music & Sound (JMS-999), which is available on iTunes, Spotify (and similar platforms). Release day: 26th July 2017 (birthday of both the dedicatee, Uwe Kolkmeyer and of Ibn Arabi).

And while it is innovative, it is deeply rooted in the tango tradition, both musically and thematically: one of the recurring themes of primitive tango was precisely the circus. The act of sawing a woman is the circus magic trick par excellence. This song was written and composed in mid-August 2023 and is dedicated to Coco Joura, who suggested the subjet.

Y si bien es innovador, está muy arraigado en la tradición tanguera, por la música y por la temática del texto: uno de los temas recurrentes del tango primitivo era precisamente el circo. El número de aserrar a una mujer es el truco circense de magia por antonomasia.Esta canción fue escrita y compuesta a mediados de agosto de 2023 y está dedicada a Coco Joura, quien sugirió la temática.

Und obwohl er innovativ ist, ist er fest in der Tangotradition verwurzelt, sowohl musikalisch als auch thematisch: Eine der wiederkehrenden Themen im primitiven Tango war genau der Zirkus. Die Nummer, eine Frau zu sägen, ist der Zirkustrick par excellence.Dieses Lied entstand Mitte August 2023, es ist Coco Joura gewidmet, die das Thema vorschlug. Text und Musik: Juan María Solare.

T. Selbit y era inglés.Lo garcó un colega en Yankilandia:mejoró la ilusión, la patentó.La cortaron en dos (coloratura)...De este acto nació un arquetipo,un modelo con facha de cliché:la mujer en peligro, rescatada;la asistente atractiva, vulnerable.Conocemos el truco y sin embargonos fascina el engaño, la ficción.Preferir la mentira es indoloro;en la magia, en el circo y fuera de él.La cortaron en dos (coloratura)...

Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.596632). Juan María Solare León protegiendo a su cría (Lion protecting its cub) This short minimalist prelude for piano was composed in Bremen on 9 and 10 November 2021. It is minimalist in the aesthetic sense of the word: few elements, many repetitions, minimal variations. But not in the historical sense: traditional minimalism abounds in consonance, in quiet sonorities; this prelude is rather arid, not particularly consonant, and only a step away from irritation or fury. The work emerged as an elaboration of an improvisation for the Digitaler Adventskalender 2021 project of the Landesmusikrat Bremen. And the title is inspired by the doll of a lion with its cub that was given to me many years ago. This complements an allusion to the unique minimalism of Charlemagne Palestine, who tends to play his concerts surrounded by stuffed animals. Of course, the doll's innocent appearance is deceptive.

I intentionally avoided the more usual pure soul.   This neo-classical piano prelude was composed in Bremen, Germany, on 19 April 2020.   The composer's recording of this piece is included in the compilation album Dream Chasers vol 2 of the label Yellow Rose Records (released on 6 November 2020).
