Alphabetical List of Works
by Elisenda Fábregas


Album for the Young for piano (2002) in three books. Duration: 29' 
  The album is a collection of thirty-four short pieces ranging from early to late intermediate level. They are organized in three books in order of difficulty. These pieces are one or two pages long and cover a wide range of styles: from Renaissance to contemporary in the first two books, and Spanish and Latin American idioms in the third book. Fingering, pedaling articulation marks and other performance indications are provided for each piece.

All three books are available from Hidden Oaks Music Company.
    "Here is real piano music imaginately written with clever and interesting rhythms and beautiful harmonic coloring. It is a joy to have all three volumes of these pieces.

"It was a privilege to give the premiere of Portraits I, a richly colored multi-movement work by the gifted composer Elisenda Fabregas. Fabregas artfully suspends moods from evocative to plaintive and poignant to payful, with a style that is uniquely hers, while always attending to the overall scope in a convincing and refreshing manner. It is utterly pianistic - I adore it, and will perform it again and again." Roger Wright
