Chilean-American composer Miguel Chuaqui presents beautifully crafted works for small chamber and solo instruments on his release Confabulario. The works on this album present a wide range of interrelated musical materials arrayed into artfully crafted forms. This quality is perhaps most salient in the solo piano work Blues En El Corazon, which features three movements based on musical idea of teh blues scale. Written for American pianist, Marilyn Nonken, teh role of the blues scale's influence shifts from movement to movement in differing disguises.
