Spanish/Catalan composer Xavier Montsalvatge was one of the main composers of the second half of the 20th century in Spain. His sense of humor and irony can be appreciated in his music. In this video I talk about his style, the humor in his music and show examples at the piano comparing them with composers that were a big influence to him, such as Stravinsky, Ravel or Milhaud. • PART 1: • 02:39 Style and harmonies • 06:14 Rhythm • 07:25 Habaneras • PART 2: • 09:14 Humour, dissonances and politonality • 12:40 Expectations • ------------ • Thanks to Mac McClure for letting me use some of his pictures and videos.
