Mompou is een soort diamantslijper, die zijn hele leven aan de dezelfde diamant heeft geslepen om deze steeds fraaier te maken.
Opvallend genoeg hebben twee Spaanse componisten, voor wiens muziek ik een speciale voorliefde heb, nooit eenzelfde bekendheid gekregen: Federico Mompou (1893 - 1987) en Joaquin Nin-Culmell (1908 -2004).

Catalan by birth, Federico Mompou studied in Barcelona before moving to Paris, where he initially studied piano before devoting himself to composition.
Mompou's piano music, including delicately conceived miniatures, is intimately expressive, generally avoiding ostentatious gestures.
Songs by Mompou, which in general avoid the extremes of nationalism, although perceptibly Catalan in inspiration, range from L'hora gris (Grey Hour) of 1915 to the later settings of St John of the Cross.

  Federico Mompou   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Federico Mompou (April 16, 1893–June 30, 1987) was a Catalan composer.
Mompou was born in Barcelona, and studied piano there at the Conservatorio del Liceo before going to Paris to study with Ferdinand Motte-Lacroix in 1911.
Mompou is best known as a miniaturist, writing short, relatively improvisatory music often described as "delicate" or "intimate." His principal influences were French impressionism and Erik Satie, resulting in a style in which musical development is minimized, and expression is concentrated into very small forms.

Als er ooit muziek is geschreven die volstrekt, totaal en volledig buiten de tijd stond waarin ze werd gemaakt, zijn het de vier pianoboeken van Federico Mompou die samen Música callada vormen.
Mompou schreef de 28 stukjes (de langste duurt ruim drie minuten) tussen 1959 en '67, maar dat is er niet aan af te horen.
De muziek is basaal-tonaal of modaal, zeer eenvoudig van melodie, structuur en harmonie (al zijn er soms voorzichtige toevoegingen van akkoordvreemde nootjes die voor een lichte schuring zorgen) en het tempo is in dertien van de achtentwintig gevallen lento.

 Mompou: Piano music
Without a spirit of childhood in the listener, the music of the Catalan Federico Mompou can seem almost infantile.
The style the composer himself calls 'primitivista' involves no bar lines, key signatures or other such paraphernalia of 'organized' composition, and at first sight owes much to Satie.
All of these miniatures (the longest is under six minutes) capture a world that is at once very real (Mompou describes his 'favourite place' as being the 'solitude of all large towns') and yet somehow set at a distance from the mundane through piano writing of plain and unpretentious vision.
