Summary/Abstract: In his vast creation, Soler mirrors a complex and visionary thinking. The work weare analyzing is the 4th Solerian concert, which imagines a majestic picture. It is one of thesix concerts for two bound organs destined for the infant of Spain, their festive character notbeing accidental. From the very beginning, Soler guides in finding the right tempo to createthe royal atmosphere. It should be noted that this concert is the only one of the six with ananacrusis profile. In part 2, Soler greets us with Minué, the refinement and gallant style ofthe beloved dance developing during 4 variations. As a whole, this concert is a real jewel ofinstrumental complexity in a balanced construction of expressive richness. Noble, singableand virtuoso, Soler's complex language capitalizes on the three facets of the artist whobrings them on stage: the expressive performer, the virtuoso instrumentalist and theinquisitive musician.
