About this exposition

As a musician from Navarra, I began this research process with the aim of constructing a performance inspired by the violinist Pablo Sarasate, one of the most important musicians from Navarra. The goal of this research is to recognize Sarasate’s legacy, while bringing contemporary music closer to the people of Navarra. In this research, an experiment was carried out to determine how to transform Sarasate’s repertoire to create a contemporary performance. I did this by analysing three types of adaptations. The first is an original transcription of the composer's music, the second a recomposition of one of his works and the third an improvisation based on Sarasate's motives and harmonies. At the same time, the folklore of Navarra and its impact on Sarasate's compositions is explored in depth. After this process, the ingredients for constructing a performance using all three approaches is explored. The idea is that throughout the performance, Sarasate's music will evolve from its original state into a new composition, all inspired by the unique essence of this virtuoso violinist and composer.
