I. Rêverie / II. Capriccio. Par CASABLANCAS BENET. Work commissioned by the pianists Iván Martín and Alba Ventura, on the occasion of the commemoration of the Centenary of Enric Granados (2016), and lasts approximately 10 minutes. It comprises two pieces of very contrasting character. The first, Rêverie, is a nocturne with broad resonances that unfolds in a recollected and expectant atmosphere, presided over by a lyrical expression and contemplative sign, scarcely disturbed by more passionate outbursts. Its cantabile course and precious writing conceal veiled references to the poetic and pianistic universe of Granados, including a hidden allusion to the musical acrostic of his name (made up of the notes Do-Mi [EnriC] and Sol-La-Re-Mib [GrAnaDoS]), which confers a special luminosity to its harmonic material. The Capriccio that follows lives up to its name with a more virtuosic and vigorous writing, with playful and colourful rhythmic accents, which drifts in its central part towards the dreamlike and ecstatic register that presided over some sections of the Rêverie, to conclude with a brilliant stretta. The premieres of the two pieces that make up the present work took place on 20 January 2016 at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona (Capriccio) and on 14 April 2016 at the Auditori de Barcelona (Rêverie), starring Iván Martín and Alba Ventura, respectively. Both pieces are contemporaries of the 'Romanza sin palabras', for chamber ensemble, commissioned by The City University of New York on the occasion of the celebration of the Granados Year in New York, and premiered on 10 March 2016 at the Elebash Recital Hall of the CUNY by the Perspectives Ensemble (art. dir. Sato Moughalian), conducted by Ángel Gil-Ordóñez. The work is dedicated to Maneleta Domingo, María Lourdes Antràs and Virginia Casablancas. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Répertoire / Piano

Enrique Granados Quejas o la maja y el ruiseñor, N° 4 de Goyescas Editeur: Ullrich Scheideler Les «Complaintes ou la Jeune fille et le Rossignol» sont en quatrième position dans le cycle pour piano en six parties des «Goyescas» (1909?11). Son titre fait allusion au peintre espagnol Francisco de Goya dont les ?uvres ont inspiré Granados. Les «Goyescas» évoquent l?Espagne du temps de Goya, de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, galante et sensuelle mais aussi mélancolique et sombre. Le thème est celui de la vie de jeunes amants. Les «Quejas» en sont un moment clé, où la jalousie naissante porte à des plaintes auxquelles participe le rossignol. La Maison Henle offre désormais, en tant qu?édition Urtext séparée, cette page qui, par son intensité expressive, constitue le point culminant du cycle.

Andaluza-Enrique 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 for the solo Piano. Andaluza is No. 5 from 12 Danza Espanola and is one of just a few of these rarely-performed Piano pieces which can be found individually. This high quality edition comes in a marbled cover and would be a perfect gift for any pianist interested in Spanish music.

Par GRANADOS ENRIQUE. A unique collection for piano solo by the celebrated Spanish composer./ Répertoire / Piano

from Twelve Spanish Dances (Playera)-Enrique Granados' Andaluza from 12 Spanish Dances Op.37 No.5. For Piano Solo.

This Piano suite written in 1911 is Enrique Granados’ most famous work even considered his crowning creation. Goyescas consists of 6 movements inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya although the Piano pieces have not been authoritatively associated with any particular paintings.The Piano writing of the Spanish composer and acclaimed pianist is highly ornamented and extremely difficult to master which is especially true for this grand piece. Just as many of his other Piano works this suit has been transcribed for the classical Guitar and has so become not only part of the standard Romantic Piano repertoire but is also extensivelyplayed by skilled guitarists.Goyescas displays a wide array of styles moods and techniques the best known movement from the suite Quejas ó la maja y el ruiseñor resembles a nocturne but is filled with intricate figuration and glittering bird-like trills while El amor y la muerte has a strong improvisational feel. Not only does this virtuoso arrangement of Spanish tunes provide a welcome challenge to advanced pianists it is also guaranteed to dazzle audiences everywhere!
