Egea, J. Vicent - Rapsodia Flamenca

The work is written in a concertante style and uses the different technical and expressive resources of all the members of the quartet in an ongoing dialogue that supports the soloist who plays a part of great virtuosity. The different compositional elements of the flamenco style, such as rhythmic, harmonic and melodic ornamentations, are the most used in this composition. At the same time the different themes employed derive from the typical flamenco cantes or palos such as buleria, solea, tiento and fandango, and develop the musical discourse within the free shape of a rhapsody.
