David Baptista - Fragoso Petite Suite, I.Prelúdio: Message Board

David Baptista's Comments

António Fragoso is a forgotten Portuguese composer from the early 20th century. A genius in the making, he died at the young age of 21, just after completing his Conservatory course in piano. Even though he died young, he left behind a numerous amount of compositions, for piano, violin, voice, and orchestra which are only now being given some attention.
His Petite Suite is composed of three movements, of which the first one is this Prelude.

Julian (SlatterFan)	2011-08-20 17:43:39	Lovely melodies. The sinking bass triads of the opening remind me of Chopin's E minor prelude (Op. 28 No. 4), which Fragoso makes his own and develops very differently. It's so sad that he died at just 21! Nicely played.
