The Tender Echo brings to life the rich Spanish string repertoire of the 18th century and celebrates its rightful place among internationally acclaimed Spanish repertoires such as their guitar repertoire and 16th-century polyphony.
For the first time in English, Guillermo Salas Suárez provides translations of the three foundational Spanish violin treatises of the period—Pablo Minguet's Reglas y Advertencias generales, José Herrando's Arte y puntual explicación del modo de tocar el violín, and Fernando Ferandiere's Prontuario Músico—and applies their principles to performance practices for a wide range of examples from Spanish solo and chamber works. Placing these treatises in dialogue with the most influential European music tutors of the era, Salas Suárez reveals the ways that Spanish musicians either aligned with or departed from Continental traditions.
Featuring additional Spanish sources for guitar, voice, and cello, The Tender Echo serves as a definitive resource for musicians and music scholars alike.
Guillermo Salas Suárez is a Costa Rican Baroque violinist and scholar. He performs with several period ensembles in North America and was guest concertmaster with the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Bourbon Baroque, and the American Baroque Opera Co.
