Enrique Granados ： Album de Melodias Paris 1888 – In an Album

Centered on an approachable melody, this miniature invites the listener to enjoy singing phrases and the delicate nuances of the piano. Within its compact span, the relationship between melody and accompaniment shapes the musical flow. Highlights include the long-breathed expression of the main line and the subtle shading that emerges as the sonority changes. In performance, let the right-hand melody sing fully while keeping the left hand light, taking care not to let chords or inner voices cover the principal line. Identifying the peaks of each phrase and using the pedal only as far as it preserves clarity will bring out the music’s natural lyricism and transparency.
