Apart from the Andalusian, and specifically Sevillian character of his music, Joaquín Turina had an individual way of recreating the whole Spanish soul in his music. His compositions are flavored by the modal scales, harmonic progressions, and turns of phrase characteristic of the music of his native land, while French influences infuse the sonic surface. Turina first studied music in Madrid, and later, while in Paris, became a pupil of Vincent d’Indy.
His violin sonata, op.51 uses modified versions of traditional classical forms. Thus, movement one is a kind of sonatina, the second movement is arch-like in effect, and the last movement is a rondo, featuring a spirited theme which alternates with contrasting episodes. At the conclusion, the opening theme of the sonata is heard again, adding a cyclical aspect to the piece. Eva León
