The April 29, 1905, 106 years ago, died in Havana, Cuban pianist and composer Ignacio Cervantes. In the twentieth century could be said that in addition to Lecuona, the brothers José Maria and Sergio Vitier inherit this strange Cuban nineteenth impregnated by Cervantes to classical music. He was the first among us who merged the chords of the musical compositions called "educated" with the image and Cuban colonial attained in a plastic box "La Siesta" (1888) William Collazo. A peace that is ours, a pain that is already ours, a song born of self-delusion. The beauty that emerges from exile, the pain, suffering.
admired by Rossini, Liszt and Paderewski. He studied in Paris from 1866 to 1870. In 1875 Cervantes and musician Joseph White left Cuba expelled by the Captain General of the island, having made a series of concerts throughout the country to raise money for the separatist cause during the Ten Years' War. Exiled for his political ideas contributed funds to the independence struggle as he was forced to go to America where he also gave concerts for patriotic purposes. Visited Madrid.
Maledetto wrote the opera (1895), countless chamber symphonies, Scherzo Capriccioso (1885), several operettas and popular Cuban dance. He served as conductor of the Opera Company Theatre Cuban Payret.
Today we hear and wake up in me again a strange sadness, agony from the very stillness. Pain made melody. Of rootlessness, of suffering these notes are born, love to Cuba this time in the midst of war and blood became forever song.
