🇪🇸Enrique Granados ： Caress Waltz Op.38

Granados’s Caress Waltz, Op. 38, is an elegant and intimate waltz distinguished by its lyrical melodic character. A flowing melody in the right hand is supported by the waltz rhythm in the left, while contrasting gentler and more animated passages carry the music forward. Carefully shaping the character of each section and remaining aware of the high points of the phrases will create a sense of continuity. The three-beat pulse should remain steady, while the pedal is used carefully to avoid blurring the harmony; subtle dynamics and flexible tempo can bring out the piece’s warm, approachable expressiveness.
