'Full d'àlbum' is a contemporary classical composition by the Spanish composer Benet Casablancas. The piece was composed in 2007 and premiered on March 14, 2008, at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, Spain. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own distinct character and musical language. The first movement, titled "Preludi," is a slow and contemplative piece that features a solo cello accompanied by a small ensemble of strings and woodwinds. The second movement, "Scherzo," is a lively and playful piece that showcases the virtuosity of the ensemble. The final movement, "Postludi," is a reflective and introspective piece that brings the composition to a peaceful and contemplative close. Casablancas' use of harmony and rhythm in 'Full d'àlbum' is complex and sophisticated, yet accessible to the listener. The composer draws on a wide range of musical influences, including the works of Bach, Stravinsky, and Bartók, to create a unique and compelling musical language. The use of solo instruments, such as the cello in the first movement, adds a personal and intimate quality to the composition, while the ensemble passages showcase the virtuosity and precision of the performers. Overall, 'Full d'àlbum' is a masterful composition that showcases Casablancas' skill as a composer and his ability to create music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging. Its premiere at the Palau de la Música Catalana was met with critical acclaim, and the piece has since been performed by orchestras and ensembles around the world.
