🇪🇸Isaac Albéniz ： Iberia Book 4 No.12 Eritaña

“Eritaña,” the concluding piece of Book 4 of Iberia, is a dance-like miniature full of vivid rhythms and strong momentum. Short motifs unfold through repetition and variation, while sharp accents, brilliant chords, and intricate exchanges between the hands energize the music. The contrasting passages, which suggest shifts in character, also deserve close attention. In performance, rather than relying on speed alone, clarify the bounce of the rhythms and the placement of the accents, while carefully balancing the overlapping voices to bring out the piece’s lightness and heat. The pedal should be used sensitively in coordination with the harmonic changes so that the sonority remains clear.
