La guitarra en la obra de Manuel de Falla: Una lección de atención verdadera hacia el instrumento

Abstract

In 1920 Manuel de Falla composed his only work for guitar, the Hommage au tombeau de Debussy. Nevertheless, his relationship with the guitar does not end nor start here. The composer and the instrument reach a real complicity through the created music. We can thus say that in some of de Falla’s works the guitar serves the music without diminishing it, and at the same time, it uses the guitar’s true instrumental being to make it present.
