Federico García Lorca y la música

Abstract

Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) is undoubtedly one of the great international figures of twentieth century art. She is well known, underlined, represented and her facet of poet, playwright and essayist has been widely studied. But, perhaps, its enormous connection with music and the great space it offered to this art remains one of the most unknown profiles in a personality that we can define as polyhedra. In this paper we will approach his musical training, since music was the first vocation of Federico. We will also approach the musical library that he owned, very interesting in many ways, and the multiple musical references that he expressed in his poems, dramas and writings. In short, we will try to approach the Federico pianist, composer, researcher and lecturer, since he dictated numerous presentations with music as the protagonist. Finally, we will not forget to underline the friendship that united him with great personalities of the music of his time, among which Manuel de Falla stands out
