Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present a stylistic analysis of the piano music by American-Spanish composer and pianist Elisenda Fábregas (b.1955). Fábregas' compositional output includes more than forty works for solo, chamber ensemble, vocal, chorus and orchestra; her large-scale piano works consist of Mirage (1997), Portraits I (2000), Homenatge a Mompou (2006), and Hommage à Mozart (2006). Chapter I consists of an introduction, including the purpose of the investigation and a literature review. Chapter II covers brief biographical information, compositional genre and style, and compositional output of piano, vocal and chamber music. Chapter III provides a stylistic analysis of the four concert piano works of Fábregas: Mirage (1997), Portraits I (2000), Homenatge a Mompou (2006) and Hommage à Mozart (2006). Chapter IV consists of a summary, conclusion, and recommendations for further research.
