Enrique Granados ： Goyescas Part 2 Epilogue Serenade of the Ghost

Serving as the epilogue that concludes Part 2 of Goyescas, this quiet and striking miniature is filled with a nocturnal atmosphere and a sense of fantasy. Its central lyricism evokes a serenade, while within the delicate sonorities there is an unsettling quality, as though the figure of a ghost were appearing and disappearing. The performer should keep the volume restrained from the outset, maintain a clear melodic line, and carefully shape the distance between melody and accompaniment. Adjusting the phrasing and pedaling as the scenes shift, while avoiding excessive heaviness and preserving the tension beneath the stillness, brings out the work’s fantastical appeal.
