Julio Ituarte - Ecos de México. Arr.Draks
Echoes of Mexico, Concert Capricho is a piece for solo piano by Mexican composer Julio Ituarte. It was composed around 1880. The piece is virtuosic, and is characterized by the use of thematic material from Mexican folklore music, including Las Mañanitas.
Echoes of Mexico is a virtuoso concert piece, in the form of a medley, in which Ituarte takes up popular melodies and sounds with a virtuoso and gimmicky style, reminiscent of Franz Liszt's romantic piano.
The piece begins with a virtuoso introduction, imitating Liszt or Thalberg, followed by a theme that comes from a syrup. He also resumes Las mañanitas and El murciélago. The ending is complex, as it creates a counterpoint between Las mañanitas and El butaquito. The ending resembles romantic paraphrases.
