Enrique Granados ： Romantic Scenes Allegretto

The fourth piece from Granados’s Romantic Scenes is a charming miniature, distinguished by the gentle motion of its Allegretto tempo and its intimate, songful melody. Within the soft flow created by the relationship between melody and accompaniment, subtle changes in phrasing and dynamics come to the fore. It is worth listening closely for the nuances of each passage while preserving the unity of the whole. In performance, the right-hand melody should be shaped with natural legato, while the left hand remains light and restrained. Avoiding haste and allowing space and breath between details can bring out the music’s delicate emotional character.
