🇪🇸Isaac Albéniz ： Iberia Book 3 No.7 El Albaicín

Sharp accents and lively rhythms intersect with singing, breathing melodies, evoking the vitality and shadowed character of a Spanish city. Forceful rhythmic passages alternate with lyrical episodes that allow the sonority to expand, making the vivid contrasts one of the work’s chief attractions. In performance, it is important to maintain the percussive drive without allowing the melodic voices to disappear. Accents should not be stressed mechanically; careful attention should also be given to subtle timing and to avoiding blurred sonorities through the use of the pedal.
