Inquietude, from Modern Study of the Harp (Poetical Studies) is a solo harp piece composed by Carlos Salzedo. The piece was composed in 1921 and premiered in the same year. It is part of a larger collection of harp pieces titled Modern Study of the Harp (Poetical Studies), which was published in 1921. Inquietude is a single-movement piece that is characterized by its haunting and melancholic melody. The piece is marked by a slow and deliberate tempo, with the harpist playing long, sustained notes that create a sense of tension and unease. The piece is also marked by its use of dissonant harmonies and unusual chord progressions, which add to its sense of unease and restlessness. Despite its melancholic character, Inquietude is a technically demanding piece that requires a high level of skill and precision from the harpist. The piece features a number of challenging techniques, including rapid arpeggios, glissandos, and complex fingerings. Overall, Inquietude is a powerful and evocative piece that showcases Salzedo's mastery of the harp. Its haunting melody and technical demands make it a popular choice among harpists, and it remains a staple of the harp repertoire to this day.
