La guitarra clásica en la obra de Ástor Piazzolla

Abstract

[ES]Este trabajo consiste en un acercamiento a la obra original para guitarra de Ástor Piazzolla, un compositor que no se dedicaba principalmente a crear piezas para guitarra pero que sí que conocía este instrumento de cerca y en cierto momento de su vida decidió dedicarle varias piezas. En el trabajo he procurado contextualizar al compositor y darle el reconocimiento que merece para la historia de la música y de la guitarra. He intentado mostrar cómo y cuándo compuso sus obras originales para guitarra, teniendo en cuenta su relación con el instrumento, guitarristas que formaran parte de su círculo cercano y por qué decidió crear esas composiciones. También doy a conocer, aunque de forma superficial ya que no es el tema principal del trabajo, algunas de las transcripciones que existen de obras conocidas de Piazzolla.

[EN]This work consists of an approach to the original work for guitar by Ástor Piazzolla, a composer who did not mainly create pieces for guitar but who knew this instrument closely and at a certain point in his life decided to dedicate several pieces to it. In this work I have tried to put the composer in context and give him the recognition he deserves for the history of music and the guitar. I have tried to show how and when he composed his original works for guitar, taking into account his relationship with the instrument, guitarists who were part of his close circle and why he decided to create those compositions. I also present, although in a superficial way since it is not the main subject of the work, some of the transcriptions that exist of known works by Piazzolla.
