The Estudio VI “Secuencias” op. 22a came to birth in 1991 thanks to a commission by Antonio Serrano, the virtuoso Spanish harmonica player, who premiered it in Bruxelles (Belgium) in 1992, just being 17 years old. To write such a work involved, of course, a very different challenge than to write for a “conventional instrument”, but a demonstration of Antonio was enough to catch the great musical power of harmonica and to persuade me about the interest of the adventure. The result is a work in which I dispensed any accompaniment, in order to project at the most the resources of instrument, whose structure follows a simple formal scheme (Introduction – A – B – A’ – Coda). Integrated into my series of Estudios, the work has a subsequent version for violin and marimba, the op. 22b (which obtained the First Prize in Marimolin Composition Contest in New Jersey, premiered by Marimolin Duo in New York), and a third version for solo accordion, the op. 22c (premiered by Angel Luis Castaño in Madrid). The work is, of course, dedicated to Antonio Serrano.
