DICCIONARIO. Castanets

CASTANETS

1910

CASTANETS Sonorous Substances. Moorish and Spanish. Spoon-shaped discs of wood made originally from the Spanish chestnut (castano). Two of them are hinged together by a cord, which passes over the thumb and first finger of the hand. The discs are struck together by the other fingers, and produce a hollow click. A pair is held in each hand. Castanets accompany the native Spanish and Moorish dances. They are employed in orchestras now for the accompaniment of any dance music, but are played by the performer upon another instrument, and are in consequence not held in the hand. A flat piece of wood to which is attached a pair of castanets is shaken when only a few measures require them. The drummer in military bands is sometimes called upon to use his sticks to strike a frame in which are fastened castanets.

RENOIR, Pierre-Auguste
Dancing Girl with Castanets
Oil on canvas, 155 x 65 cm
National Gallery, London

En el vibrante universo del Impresionismo tardío, Pierre-Auguste Renoir nos regala una obra maestra que captura la esencia de la danza y la alegría del movimiento: "Bailarina con Castañuelas". Creada en 1909, esta pintura no solo decora las paredes de la National Gallery de Londres, sino que también nos invita a sumergirnos en un torbellino de colores y emociones.

La bailarina, ataviada con un vestido fluido que se funde con el fondo, se convierte en el centro de atención. Su pose dinámica, con una pierna levantada y los brazos extendidos mientras sostiene castañuelas, irradia energía y vitalidad.

BIBLIOTECA. 1887 MANNERS AND SOCIAL USAGES

MANNERS
AND
SOCIAL USAGES
BY  MRS. JOHN SHERWOOD M.E.W.
1887

The green enamelled dragon-fly, grasshoppers and beetles, flies and wasps, moths and butterflies, bright-tinted mandarin ducks, peacocks, and ostriches, tortoises cut in pebbles or made of pasteboard, shrimps and crabs, do all coldly furnish forth the lunch-table as favors and bonbonnières. Then come plaster or pasteboard gondolas, skiffs, wherries, steamships, and ferry-boats, all made with wondrous skill and freighted with caramels. Imitation rackets, battledoor and shuttlecock, hoops and sticks, castanets, cup and ball, tambourines, guitars, violins, hand-organs, banjos, and drums, all have their little day as fashionable favors.
