Piano Music of Francisco Mignone

Jones, Martin

NI 8113

Although Mignone wrote a large number of pieces for piano solo, his preference had always been for the orchestra, and for solo song. In his works for the piano the search for orchestral colour and texture is clearly evident in his use of ornamentation, spaced chords and explorations at the extreme ends of the keyboard.

His works for piano solo fall into some natural groupings, the four sonatinas and four sonatas, more than thirty waltzes, and the nine Lendassertanejas. Of the remaining pieces two-thirds are written in a predominantly 19th century European language, and the remainder reflect the influence of Brazilian folklore, in rhythm and form.
