🇪🇸Isaac Albéniz ： Piano Sonata No.2 Op.64

Albéniz’s Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 64, reflects an awareness of the Classical sonata framework while making effective use of songful melodies and lively rhythms. Its appeal lies in the contrast between clearly driven passages and more lyrical episodes as contrasting characters unfold. The melody should be allowed to sing while the accompanying patterns remain light, and changes of tempo and expression should be presented with care. In the more brilliant passages, focusing not only on volume but also on the balance of inner voices and the direction of each phrase helps convey the overall flow naturally.
