🇪🇸Enrique Granados ： To Mercury – To Bacchus

This miniature invites the listener to contrast the light-footed agility and substantial, celebratory gestures suggested by the images of the two deities in its title. In finely moving passages, keep the fingertips clear and the rhythm buoyant; in singing melodies, bring out the inner voices and guide the phrases naturally toward their high points. Carefully shape changes of tempo and tone where different characters emerge, and control the gradations of dynamics and the lingering resonance rather than relying on brilliance alone. These details bring out the work’s points of interest and Granados’s characteristic sense of color.
