CD: Renée Pietrafesa Bonnet ...Instrumental and Symphonic Chamber !
« In a world that seems too much dissociated and
which demands from us a great effort to be aware of and understand it, I
attempt with my music to integrate, motivate. No sound is unfamiliar to me,
if I can relate it to another one. Each work has its own code and I think
like John Cage that it is necessary to open our senses to what is incidental,
fortuitous, dynamic and unstable. » Renée
Pietrafesa Bonnet
1977 :
A 4 for flute, oboe, clarinete and
prepared piano
« A 4, in four movements, is a work in which alternate more
static moments of constant sounds supported in a parallel movement by the
wind instruments, in which a climate of timbre suggestions is looked for,
with other more dynamic moments in "tempos libres", whose interwoven
counterpoint is perfectly delimited in the score. On this one weft, the piano
places " ad líbitum " and according to the energy of the other voice
dynamics, several "clusters" and chords pulsed on the strings and the keyboard
of the piano. Repetition of melodic and rhythmic ideas produces different
effects of ostinato. »

Translaciones (Version
II)
"Homenaje a los Olvidados"
« Renée Pietrafesa Bonnet, Conductor and Composer,
who established exchanges between her music school of Montevideo and the
CNR of Strasbourg, may want to translate by the title Translaciones
her cultural bridges, but the more personal side of her music could also
mean transfers in psychoanalytical fields. » M. M. (Musiques

In « Rituales, the authoress works Quiches melodies
of Guatemala and brings together these indigenous topics, using current technics
of composition in an intelligent and original way, creating polytonal textures,
atonal and polyrythmic passages of great expressiveness. » N.

« Nos resultó muy atractivo el "Cantábile"
y el Movimiento central de la obra, que evoca a los tradicionales afiladores
montevideanos que anuncian su presencia con una pequeña flauta de
Pan » El País, 1985,W.

1986 :
Integration 8 for symphonic
orchestra
« In Integración 8 for Symphonic Orchestra of 1986
Renée Pietrafesa spills her musical ideas with the efficiency that
characterizes her. The aspect timbrica, handled with a perfect control allows
her to create singular suggestive climates to what is added a management
without any preconceived opinion of the intervalica, fundamental component
of the internal dynamism of the first section (strings only) that generates,
stepwise, a formation of "cluster" type. The "fearsome" sixths and other
intervals of strong romantic connotation, weave brief melodic passages (inside
and out of that formation) without yielding primacy to others that, for their
dissonant constitution are imposed by themselves if same in the current music.
The language of the authoress is reaffirmed through freedom. »

1996 :
Fantasy for symphonic
orchestra
« In the Fantasia, directed by its authoress, we observe
it is perceived from the moment in which the first violin and the first
violoncello exposes a melodic spontaneous line, the work seems to look for
another type of expressiveness and there is a logic of structure that goes
in agreement with the climate achieved in the orchestration. It achieves
atmospheric and sensitive moments that finish off in a poetical
final. » El País, 1983,W.

1997 :
Pieza for flute and
piano
« It's a long time, that we did not hear a new work
of Renée Pietrafesa. She herself and the marvellous Beatriz Zóppolo
released her Piece for flute and piano composed the same year. It is very
pleasant, romantic as everything what Renée does, and handles an
interesting ambiguity of harmonic and melodic language. All the time there
is the most intriguing sensation of "It seems but it's not". Everybody
was charmed with, It was "super-well" touched and it left with the desires
of listening it once again. For what more is it possible to
ask? »
