During the mid 20th century, the influence of impressionism was common in the music of many nationalist composers in Venezuela; however, Blanca Estrella was unique in the sense that she poured this influence into her vast catalog of music for chamber ensembles, at a time when many of the country’s composers were more inclined towards symphonic and choral music.
Because of this, an extraordinarily original piece lies underneath an apparently traditional ternary form. The choice of the same instrumentation as that of Debussy’s famous sonata for flute, viola and harp, as well as her use of exotic and whole-tone scales, and other elements, give this Nocturne not only an impressionistic flavor but also a very exquisite charm.
