de cámara instrumental y vocal en España en los siglos XIX y XX: recuperación, recepción, análisis crítico y estudio
comparativo del género en el contexto europeo, in association with the Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi
Boccherini of Lucca, the Cuarteto Bretón and the University of Koblenz-Landau, is pleased to
invite proposal submissions for the International Conference The String Quartet in Spain
from the End of the Eighteenth Century to Today, hosted by the Faculty of Philosophy at
the University of Granada from Thursday, March 20th, to Friday, March 21st, 2014.
Central European music historiographers have suggested that Spanish composers “adopted
a particular abstinent attitude” towards the genre of the String Quartet (F. Krummacher,
Geschichte des Streichquartetts, vol. II, Laaber 2005, p. 400), but this theory ignores the compositional
reality of this genre – especially regarding the twentieth century – and comes from the lack of
knowledge concerning the Spanish repertory (caused by the still limited access to primary
sources) and the shortage of specific secondary literature.
This conference aims to create, unify and transfer knowledge about the String Quartet of
Spanish provenience, thereby promoting musicological and interdisciplinary research on the
genre with the objective to contribute to the revision of Spanish and international
historiography. In particular, the conference purposes to stimulate discussion about the reasons
that, on the one hand, caused the decline of the genre's evolution in Spain during the second
third of the 19th century – despite favorable conditions for establishing a unique tradition – and,
on the other hand, motivated its sudden rise at the beginning of the 20th century after eight
decades of relative stagnation. The Spanish repertory will be studied from multiple perspectives,
considering approaches on reception, edition, interpretation, motivation and composition, paying
special attention to the analysis of representative music works to determine their historic position
within the larger European context.
