Composer's Artistic Vision

The composer Eduardo Costa Roldán believes that works written for didactic purposes should both train future virtuosos and exploit the artistic and aesthetic dimensions of the musical material.

Performer Biography

Julián Elvira, a flautist on this album, is known as Spain's leading figure in experimental music for the transverse flute, both as a performer and academic.

Composition History

While some works on this album, like "Tempo de Huida" and "Berlín 1928," were conceived with a clear didactic purpose, others were commissioned by prestigious flautists.

Recording & Production

Many of the pieces on this album are world premiere recordings, offering a chance to explore the composer's creative stages and varied profiles through the flute.

Instruments

The Prónomo flute's design is based on the Complex System theory, developed by Hungarian flautist István Matuz in the 1980s, to explore mathematical and acoustic results on the transverse flute.

Instruments

The Prónomo flute is a new instrument designed by Julián Elvira and built by Stephen Wessel in 2009, which significantly expands the sonic possibilities of the modern flute.

Composer Biography

Eduardo Costa Roldán, the composer, has premiered over thirty chamber and symphonic works, but composing educational material has always been a primary creative concern for him.
