Puigcerdà (Sardana llarga op. 79) Antoni Juncà Soler
Sardana dedicated to the Casino Ceretà and composed on July 4, 1913 in Girona. Antoni Juncà Soler, was a military and musician from Figueras, teacher, tible and clarinet performer, conductor, and composer mainly of sardanas. Juncà indicated in the score the different contrasting parts of the sardana, the introduction that imitates the flabiol, the curts and the llargs, and the counterpoint also of the flabiol that links the repetition of the llargs. It is a detailed score containing many performative indications. With the curts in F major and the llargs in B flat major, it is a harmonically more interesting and technically more demanding sardana than the rest of the sardanas in the section.

[i] In the Catalunya Nord region ménétriers are still called jutglars today.
[ii] “The repeated note in the left hand represents the tamboret played by the same musician playing the flaviol in the cobla” (Fàbregas i Marcet 2002, 42).
