Gianneo’s music can be divided into four periods. The first, 1913–1923, shows the influence of European romantic and impressionist composers. The second, from 1923–1932, sees the introduction of folk elements into his music. The third period, from 1933 to 1953, is characterized by the combination of folk-music and neo-classicism, resulting in a style of wonderful simplicity and economy of resources. The fourth and final period, from 1954 to his death in 1968, involved the emergence of a disciplined use of dodecaphonic compositional principles. With the exception of Bailecito, composed in 1931, the pieces for piano on this, the second volume devoted to his piano music on the Marco Polo label, date from the third of these four periods. They range from the In the Altiplano prelude of 1932 to the Little Road to Bethlehem of 1947. All these works are redolent of the music and character of his native Argentina, and at the same time fully exploit the potential of the piano with writing of considerable technical sophistication.
