🇪🇸Enrique Granados ： Andalusia

Granados’s Andalusia is a piano piece marked by melodies that evoke a distinctly Spanish atmosphere and light, dance-like rhythms. In the lyrical passages, the melody should be brought out carefully while the accompanying figures remain restrained and well balanced. When the rhythm comes to the fore, make use of subtle accents and pauses, aiming for crispness without allowing the playing to become rigid. By shaping changes of character from one passage to another, and varying the color through pedaling and articulation as well as dynamics, the piece’s appeal can be brought to life. The overall flow should remain cohesive while balancing its singing quality with its dance-like vitality.
