José Soler Casabón and his Ballet L’Homme sans yeux, sans nez et sans oreilles and his Poetry Fonds Perdu
Abstract
José Soler Casabón was a Spanish composer and poet who was born on 31 August 1884 in
Mequinenza (Zaragoza, Spain), and died on 3 March 1964 in Paris. Although little is known about
his life and work, some of his masterpieces have been preserved, as the result of which it can be
affirmed that he was excellent composer of his time. In this article we will focus on what is perhaps
his greatest work, his ballet titled L’Homme sans yeux, sans nez et sans Oreilles (Ho.S.Y.N.O.)
which was created in 1917 and, unfortunately, has not yet premiered been. In addition to being a
musician, he was also a poet. His musical background can be seen in his writings. His poetic work
Fonds Perdu, which has been preserved, provides a clear example of this.
Keywords: Apollinaire, ballet, composer José Soler Casabón, Paris, poetry.
