Sonata for guitar op.47 ii. Scherzo
Alberto Ginastera
Alberto Ginastera (1916 - 1983) was an Argentinian composer of classical music. Many of his works were inspired by Gauchesco tradition. This tradition holds that the Gaucho, or landless native horseman of the plains, is a symbol of Argentina. The second movement. “Scherzo” conveys a sense of fun and irony. In my mind, the music creates the image of the energy of urban industries with massive buildings growing fast all around us.

Leo Brouwer
Leo Brouwer (1939-) is a Cuban composer, Conductor and Classical Guitarist. When he was 13, He began studying classical guitar with the encouragement of his father. In his early compositions, Brouwer remained close to the rhythm of cuban music. During the 1960s and 70s he became interested in the music of modernist composers such as Luigi nono and lannis Xenakis, using indeterminacy in his works such as La espiral eterna.
La espiral eterna is a piece structured as a spiral, the repetitive circular movements are reminiscent also of random sounds event which are similar to life in the city.
