Enr ique Granados (1867-1916) was a Spanish composer and pianist, who studied in Barcelona and Paris, and whose life was tragically cut short by the First World War. The nationalist style which dominated his early output is often seen to be epitomised by the 1890 work, 12 Danza Espanola, a collection of Spanish dances originally for the solo Piano.
Andaluza is No. 5 from 12 Danza Espanola, and has been transcribed here for Cello with Piano accompaniment. This high quality edition comes in a marbled cover, and would be a perfect gift for any cellist interested in Spanish music.

This song is a graceful and refi ned Mexican Danzon full of humor. The 'Danzón' is a rhythm of Cuban origin, but since the early 20th century it developed deep roots in Mexico and is also considered part of the popular culture of that country. The 'Danzón' was created by the Cuban composer Miguel Faílde (born ca. 1879), and it is derived from the European 'Contradanza' (see under Aniceto Rondón) which was infl uenced by African traditions and became known the Creole Cuban Dance or Habanera. It is a sen sual, expressive and syncopated dance. Usually accompanied by fl ute, timbales, guiro, claves and piano. Other dances, such as the the 'Cuban Son,' 'Chachachá' and 'Mambo' originated from the 'Danzón.'.
