Suite romántica

If Romanticism is characterized by something, it is by the continuous fascination for the paradises of extravagance and delirium, for its eternal search for the picturesque in the aesthetic and the terrible in the ethical. And without a doubt, the three figures that make up this Romantic Suite - Goethe, Lord Byron and Walter Scott - express, in every imaginable direction, the spirit, the lights and the shadows of romanticism. Masters in the art of writing and creating literary characters, poems, romances and stories, they do not represent the darkest, most diabolical and sinister version of romanticism, but they share affinities that allow them to be grouped as the themes of a concert. Goethe, Lord Byron, and Walter Scott have over time also become, according to romantic taste, colossal gods, myths. For this reason, Mauricio Wiesenthal dedicates a sonata, a suite, a diversion, a symphony, an allegro, a scherzo or a simpre impromtu to each one of them, endowing their biographies with music, literature and critical reason; accepting what they have as legend, but in the light of the humanist spirit that characterizes the author, along with his brilliant literary pen, so that they can be recognized for what they are: monuments of art and civilization. Thus, Wiesenthal shows himself once again and as always, the guardian of memory, insofar as it is linked to emotion and feeling.
