Surinach Carlos. Trois Chansons et Dances Espagnes pour piano

New York: Peer International Corporation, 1953. — 14 p.The Trois Chansons et Danses Espagnoles (Three Spanish Songs and Dances) by the Spanish composer Carlos Surinach, written in 1950 and 1951 in New York and Paris. Surinach (1915-1997) was a truly cosmopolitan composer - son of a Spanish Catalan father and an Austrian/Polish mother, who studied in Barcelona, Madrid and Berlin (taking five seminars of Richard Strauss, no less), emigrated to the USA in 1950 and became an American citizen in 1959. Yet, his music sounds as Spanish as they come, using bold colors and rhythms in a sometimes uncompromising style.
