Con la fundación en 1973 por Gérard Grisey –junto con Michaël Lévinas, Tristan Murail, Hugues Dufourt, y Roger Tessier– del Ensemble l’Itineraire, el espectralismo se alzó en la escena de vanguardia francesa como una enmienda a la totalidad del pensamiento serialista liderado desde los años 50 por los compositores de la denominada Escuela de Darmstadt. El ciclo Les espaces acoustiques de este autor –del cual Partiels (1975) es su tercera parte– se erigió como obra fundacional de esta corriente que entendió la composición como una exploración de la materia prima musical –el sonido– a través de diversas técnicas de análisis y síntesis. Casi medio siglo después, la propia evolución del espectralismo ha permitido redefinir este término de forma más abierta, como una determinada «actitud» ante el sonido. Una actitud que –mirando de forma retrospectiva– se habría manifestado de forma latente en composiciones muy anteriores a la formulación de este movimiento –de ahí la presencia de Manuel de Falla y Edgard Varèse en este programa– y que continúa actualizándose a través de la obra de autores –como José Manuel López López, Premio Nacional de Música en el año 2000– de diversas sensibilidades.

With the foundation in 1973 by Gérard Grisey –together with Michaël Lévinas, Tristan Murail, Hugues Dufourt, and Roger Tessier– of the Ensemble l'Itineraire, spectralism rose up on the French avant-garde scene as an amendment to the whole of serialist thought led by since the 50s by the composers of the so-called Darmstadt School. The cycle Les espaces acoustiques by this author –of which Partiels (1975) is the third part– was established as the foundational work of this current that understood composition as an exploration of the musical raw material –sound– through various techniques of analysis and synthesis. Almost half a century later, the very evolution of spectralism has allowed this term to be redefined more openly, as a certain "attitude" towards sound. An attitude that – looking back – would have latently manifested itself in compositions long before the formulation of this movement –hence the presence of Manuel de Falla and Edgard Varèse in this program– and that continues to be updated through the work of authors –such as José Manuel López López, National Music Award in the year 2000– of diverse sensibilities.
