Description
The 'Cinco Toccatas desde el Término Medio' (Five Toccatas from the Golden Mean), have a more complex origin.
Their generic title is derived from the letter Mozart wrote to his father from Vienna on December 28th, 1782: «The golden mean of truth in all things is no longer either known or appreciated. In order to win applause one must write stuff which is so inane that a coachman could sing it, or so unintelligible that it pleases precisely because no sensible man can understand it» (translation by Emily Anderson).
When I began writing the toccatas, my intention was to extend the emotional spectrum I had thus far produced and imbue the spirit of all five pieces with the maximum extroversion.
Autorretrato - Self-portrait is the fourth work in this cycle, and was written for the late pianist Fernando Puchol.
