🇪🇸Isaac Albéniz ： España Prelude

This prelude from España (Souvenir) allows a singing melody to emerge above a gently swaying accompaniment. Within its concise span, delicate shades mingle with a hint of passion, while the changing colors of the harmony hold the listener’s attention. In performance, it is important to shape the overall flow, keep the melody in the right hand clear, and prevent the left-hand accompaniment from becoming too heavy. The pedal should connect the sonorities while being changed carefully enough to keep harmonic shifts clear; guiding the phrase naturally toward its climaxes brings out the work’s poetic character.
