The Tender Echo brings to life the rich Spanish string repertoire of the 18th century and celebrates its rightful place among internationally acclaimed Spanish repertoires such as their guitar repertoire and 16th-century polyphony. Guillermo Salas Suarez brings new English translations of the three foundational Spanish violin treatises of the period—Pablo Minguet's Reglas y Advertencias generales, Jose Herrando's Arte y puntual explicacion del modo de tocar el violin, and Fernando Ferandiere's Prontuario Musico—and applies their principles to performance practices for a wide range of examples from Spanish solo and chamber works. Placing these treatises in dialogue with the most influential European music tutors of the era, Salas Suarez reveals the ways that Spanish musicians either aligned with or departed from Continental traditions. He further broadens their scope by drawing on additional Spanish sources for guitar, voice, and cello, shedding light on essential concepts for improvisation and ornamentation. The first book in English to explore 18th-century Spanish string repertoire and its performance practice, The Tender Echo will serve as a definitive resource for musicians and music scholars alike.

Industry Reviews

"This is a text of special relevance in the world of musicological research, given the insufficient knowledge that exists outside the borders of the Hispanic sphere of the Spanish musical fact in the 18th century, especially that referring to string instruments since other aspects (keyboard, vocal music and musical theory) have traditionally deserved more attention from both national and foreign scholars than the violin and other string instruments."-Emilio Moreno, Escola Superior de Musica de Catalunya (ESMUC)
