This piano piece is a reduction of the work for large orchestra composed by me in 2002. The main theme of "Abriliana" was given to me by my master of composition, the great Spanish composer Antón Garcia Abril. About this melodic theme I composed this work in structure of "orchestral overture". The orchestra has very colorful effects and optimistic mood, a character reminiscent of spring, especially the month of April, and now includes "pastoral" sounds. The "Prague Philharmonic Orchestra" conducted by Richard Hein performed this work in a recording made on December 6, 2009 in Prague Rudolfinum Theatre, home of the Orchestra, and on numerous occasions issued by a private channel of the Spanish Television. This time, the piano version retains the strength and color of the original, although the piano gives a new look and direction, trying to keep the "raveliana" idea of writing a piece that works both in the orchestra and keyboard, as in the case of "La Valse".
