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 (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. One of his earliest and most enduring works though rarely performed today is the collection of 8 Waltzes for Solo Piano Valses Poeticos (Op. 43 1887). While they were intended to be performed as a suite each Waltz can still be performed individually and will easily stand on its own merits. Throughout the suite Granados seamlessly weaves the lucid lyrical melodies with the lively dance tempo to create one of the true classics of the genre something no aspiring pianistshould be without.

No. 4 from Goyescas-This ?Lament or the maiden and the nightingale? is the fourth movement of Granados? six-part piano cycle Goyescas (1909?11).The cycle?s title is derived from the name of the Spanish painterFrancisco de Goya whose paintings inspired Granados. The Goyescas conjure up Goya?s Spain of the late 18th century ? chivalrous and sensual but also melancholic and sombre. The overall theme is the life of two younglovers.The ?Quejas? are a turning point in the cycle because here jealousy leads to a lament that is joined by the song of the nightingale. The expressive intensity makes the movement the highpoint of the cyclefor many and G. Henle Verlag is now offering it as an individual Urtext edition.

Los Majos Enamorados-The Spanish composer Enrique Granados left a varied and wide-ranging oeuvre but it is above all his Piano music that is still very much alive today. This Urtext edition of the dazzlingly virtuosoGoyescas no doubt his best-known Piano composition now brings a prestigious new work to the Henle catalogue. The suite was written between 1909 and 1911. Its unusual title goes back to the Spanish artistFrancisco de Goya whose paintings inspired Granados. The Goyescas conjure up Spanish life in Goya?s time at the end of the 18th century gallant and sensual but also melancholic and dark. Thesubtitle ?Los majos enamorados? (the young lovers) provides a thematic link among the six scenes which depict the joys and sufferings of budding love.

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.

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!
