No. 6. I remember my piano teacher distinctively: "Practice this one when you're mad at your parents."

Ginastera’s music is fantastically punchy and distinctive. I’m head over heels for the Creole Dance

[@jacobbass6437]

I love Ginastera. His music is always so amazing. I particularly love his harp concerto.

Grande Ginastera, papá

Thank you, Mr. Gianopoulos, for uploadind such jewels !

[@MsApotes]

Gracias por compartir estos bellos y profundos preludios!

[@mruberduck]

Love this set!! Fantastic to play, though a real work out!

[@seanriedy]

Nice to finally see a proper score video for one of my favorite sets of pieces. Something important to note that I learned from my edition is that Ginastera originally had Triste first and Para los acentos second, and when the original publisher looked into why this was flipped they found that it was purely to avoid an awkward page turn. I personally prefer it in the original order, but it's fantastic music either way.

[@GNGianopoulos]

Interesting anecdote!

[@ilovebuckwheat]

Excellent performance! I felt especially wowed by the sixth, having played it myself. I have not heard many performances that don't completely botch up the arpeggiated part; Russo did an amazing job.

12:31 #12 reminds me a WHOLE lot of Debussy's "The Engulfed Cathedral"

[@VinsonMusic]

Nice touch on Pastorale: the bass is just slightly ahead of the beat, and the melody really sings out.

IX is a bop

[@vicenteplazaurzua6190]

Siento que el nombre de *americanos * es porque son preludios de varios paises americanos, el 11 brasileño, el de aron copland estadounidense, la 3ra criolla argentina etc...

[@zelihasilakck]

Çok güzel

[@machytka]

Vidala requests a voice in my humble opinion.

Can anyone recommend anything (by Ginastera or anyone else) that resembles the first piece? Almost resembles Nancarrow a bit...

[@aler8343]

I recommend you Keith Emerson Piano Concerto No1

[@BleedingEdgeOfProgress]

@@aler8343 Heard it, pretty cool but not that similar IMO.
