🇪🇸Enrique Granados ： Album de Melodias Paris 1888 – Allegretto

Included in Album de Melodias Paris 1888, this miniature unfolds at a moderate Allegretto pace. Its approachable, flowing melody invites the listener to attend to the shape of each phrase and the way musical lines pass from one moment to the next. Rather than pushing the music forward with excessive force, the performer should let the melody sing naturally while carefully balancing it against the accompaniment. Maintaining the pulse while allowing a slight breath at points of repose brings out both its lightness and supple lyricism. For students approaching the piece, it also offers a useful opportunity to study the balance between melody and accompaniment and the use of the pedal.
