"Impressions íntimes" is a solo piano suite composed by Federico Mompou, a Spanish composer and pianist. The suite was composed between 1911 and 1914, and premiered in 1916 in Barcelona. It consists of ten short movements, each with its own unique character and mood. The first movement, "El Lago" (The Lake), is a tranquil and reflective piece that sets the tone for the rest of the suite. The second movement, "Cants Màgics" (Magical Songs), is a lively and playful piece that features a syncopated rhythm and a whimsical melody. The third movement, "Festa Lluna" (Moon Festival), is a slow and dreamy piece that evokes the peacefulness of a moonlit night. The fourth movement, "Paisatge" (Landscape), is a contemplative piece that features a simple, repetitive melody and a gentle, flowing accompaniment. The fifth movement, "Impressió" (Impression), is a moody and atmospheric piece that features a haunting melody and a sparse, dissonant accompaniment. The sixth movement, "Núvol Blanc" (White Cloud), is a delicate and ethereal piece that features a soft, flowing melody and a shimmering accompaniment. The seventh movement, "Pessebres" (Nativity Scenes), is a gentle and nostalgic piece that evokes the warmth and joy of the Christmas season. The eighth movement, "Barcarola" (Barcarolle), is a graceful and lyrical piece that features a flowing, waltz-like rhythm and a romantic melody. The ninth movement, "El Carrer" (The Street), is a lively and bustling piece that captures the energy and excitement of a busy city street. The final movement, "El Camí" (The Path), is a peaceful and introspective piece that brings the suite to a gentle and contemplative close. Overall, "Impressions íntimes" is a beautiful and evocative suite that showcases Mompou's unique style and sensitivity as a composer.
