Eduardo Fabini

Fabini, along with Alfonso Broqua, Luis Cluzeau Mortet and Vicente Ascone, was representative of the nationalist tendency that emerged in Uruguayan music in the 1910s and 1920s.

[1] Born May 18, 1882 in the small town of Solís de Mataojo, Lavalleja, with his parents Juan Fabini and Antonia Bianchi, of Italian origin and some distinguished musicians in their family.

He continued his studies in Montevideo, at the Conservatory "The Lyre" (from 9 to 13 years) with teachers Romeo Massi and Italo Casellas, and later with Scarabelli and Ferroni.

"Field" obtained immediately widespread recognition of his musical values, being also enshrined Buenos Aires - where he was performed in 1925 at the Teatro Colón by the Vienna Philharmonic - and soon in New York, Washington, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Moscow, Valencia, Rio de Janeiro and other major music cities such as Vienna, where was performed by the Philharmonic in that city, under the baton of the great Richard Strauss.

Encouraged by this success, Fabini continued intense activity in the composition of works that evoke the sounds and atmospheres of the Uruguayan countryside; presenting soon after his other symphonic poem, entitled "The Island of ceibos".

[3] Román Viñoly Barreto says that "Fabini never felt the procupación innovative; He never sought to highlight technical knowledge; says his music as well, because that way it feels, and how is not in your intentions hope for a vain glory, nor seeks more reward than the silence she loves, occupies a plane striking sincerity".
