Enrique Granados ： Poetic Waltzes IV Humorous Waltz

This waltz moves with a lightness that conveys the wit and humor suggested by its title. Its approachable melody is supported by a regular accompaniment that sustains the flow of the dance. The piece gains coherence when the performer follows its changing expressions from one passage to the next while keeping sight of the overall line. The right-hand melody should be sung brightly and crisply, while the left hand should maintain the beat without becoming heavy. Careful attention to accents and rests, together with nuanced contrasts in dynamics, brings out its elegant charm without exaggeration. Keep the tempo steady, allowing a little space at the ends of phrases to convey a natural sense of dance.
