''Danzas fantásticas'', Op. 22, is the best known work by the Spanish composer Joaquín Turina. It was written in 1919, originally for solo piano, and later orchestrated. However, the orchestral version was the first to be performed, and this has been the cause of some confusion in reference works.〔(Naxos )〕 The name of the work is sometimes translated as ''Fantasy Dances'', but more usually as ''Fantastic Dances''. The work was inspired by the novel ''La orgía'' by José Mas, and quotations from the novel were printed on the score at the start of each dance: * 1. ''Exaltación'', a jota from Aragon :: ''It seemed as if the figures in that incomparable picture were moving inside the calyx of a flower'' * 2. ''Ensueño'', a Basque zortziko in 5/8 time :: ''The guitar's strings sounded the lament of a soul helpless under the weight of bitterness'' * 3. ''Orgía'', an Andalusian farruca :: ''The perfume of the flowers merged with the odor of manzanilla, and from the bottom of raised glasses, full of wine incomparable as incense, joy flowed''〔(Classical Archives )〕 The ''Danzas fantásticas'' were written in their original form for piano solo in August 1919. Turina orchestrated the work between 15 September and 30 December 1919.〔(Joaquín Turina, Official Site )〕 The orchestral version was first heard on 13 February 1920, in the Teatro Price in Madrid; the Orquesta Filarmonica de Madrid was conducted by Bartolome Perez Casas. The composer himself first presented the piano solo version on 15 June 1920, at the Málaga Sociedad Filarmonica.〔 The work was dedicated to Turina's wife, Obdulia Garzon.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danzas fantásticas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
