- Summary
- “La reina” (The Queen) is Torres’s best known piece. The story behind the composition of the piece is obscure, but there are two versions. It is supposed to be first named “Los Aires del Miracle” (The Miracle’s Airs), inspired by a nearby lake to Maracaibo. After the first performance at the Club Comercio around 1898, in Maracaibo, Willy Larsen, a wealthy person who was a good friend of Torres and probably the commissioner of the piece, changed its name for “La Reina,” stating that it was the queen of the contradanzas. Another version says that he composed it while in a tour in the United States with the group Estudiantina Venezolana.
