Join us for a journey from Spain to the Vienna through the work of a forgotten composer – Manuel Blasco de Nebra. The inspiration behind this programme is the forgotten music of Spanish composer from Sevilla, Manuel Blasco de Nebra (1750-1784). The heir to Scarlatti in many respects, he was moreover a composer well aware of what was happening elsewhere in Europe in the 1770s. When he died his sisters sold an impressive collection of 1833 pieces for harpsichord, organ and pianoforte – 172 pieces being his own works, the rest were pieces by German, Italian and French composers. The programme includes works by de Nebra as well as Mozart, Scarlatti and Schubert.
