Els artistes romàntics defensaven que la música era l’art més sublim perquè era abstracte. I aquesta idea és la que pren el pianista i compositor barceloní Albert Guinovart. A partir de cinc poemes de la nord-americana Emily Dickinson presenta cinc noves peces que condensen l’essència de manera abstracta, i les acompanya de 24 preludis curts escrits durant la pandèmia, cinc nocturns i tres cançons de bressol. En resum, es tracta d’un heterogeni compendi de peces curtes melancòliques, assossegades i amb un gran gust per la melodia.
