Pasajera eterna is also part of the CD Sombras blancas (White shadows) by Juan María Solare.

The title 'Pasajera eterna' is in Spanish an oxymoron, that is, a figure of thought that consists of complementing a word with another word that has a contradictory or opposite meaning. 'Pasajera' (temporary, transient), as an adjective, is a situation that does not last forever, ephemeral, while 'eternal' is just the opposite. Furthermore, if we read 'pasajera' (traveller, passenger) as a noun, the title alludes to a person on a constant journey, on the move.

The expression 'Pasajera eterna' was invented by the dedicatee of this work, Belén Rouco, who kindly authorised me to use it to title this music. Under the literary name of 'Pasajera eterna', Belén signs and publishes her writings, poems and reflections.

Keywords: romantic piano music, easy listening, post-romantic, neo-classical, contemporary classical, melodic.
