Though a mere 15,000 ft², the Palau retains an abundance of color and individuality that paints the walls, its hues “dancing a marvelous dance” (Sastre-Juan and Valentines-Álvarez 2016: 92). Through his building, Domènech links several themes, beginning with the binding of Catalan nationalism and internationalism, evident in the proscenium. The left arch represents “cançó popular,” or songs of the people, whereas the opposite side of the proscenium illuminates música universal and classicalism. These concepts are portrayed through the upper half of Beethoven flanked on either side by two Doric columns, which insert an air of austerity and masculinity to counteract the vibrancy exposed throughout the rest of the building. Domènech also interlaced the old with the new, wielding Gothic stone and glass, mutating them into steel. Although an admirably unique concept, the same steel provoked many pretentious complaints, such as the inability to hear Chopin over the cacophony occurring on the cobblestones outside, voiced by Josep Pla (Hughes 2004: 119). Other disapproval was expressed when Domènech finished his construction, with many doubting its worth of twice its intended budget and naming it the Palace of Catalan Junk (Hughes 2004: 127). In spite of the disputes that came with its erection, the Palau de la Música Catalana has remained true to its name, and continues the motif of Catalan patriotism by embodying the essence and history of Catalan music, its shape created by its citizens’ everyday lives (Ferran and Nieto-Galan 2016: 242). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
