🇪🇸Enrique Granados ： Tales of Youth No.4 Old Story Op.1

The fourth piece in the collection Tales of Youth, Op. 1, evokes through its title the telling of an old story, with a simple and lyrical character. Its appeal lies in the singing quality of the melody and the subtle shifts of harmony. Although unified as a short piece, its expression changes through the way the melody emerges and through shifts of register. In performance, keep the melody clear while shaping the accompaniment with restraint, and give each phrase room to breathe so that the reflective atmosphere arises naturally. Do not hurry; the lingering resonance and fine gradations of dynamics are central to its appeal.
