Andaluza-Enrique Granados (1867-1916) was a Spanish composer and pianist who studied in Barcelona and Paris and whose life was tragically cut short by the First World War. The nationalist style which dominated his early output is often seen to be epitomised by the 1890 work 12 Danza Espanola a collection of Spanish dances for the solo Piano. Andaluza is No. 5 from 12 Danza Espanola and is one of just a few of these rarely-performed Piano pieces which can be found individually. This high quality edition comes in a marbled cover and would be a perfect gift for any pianist interested in Spanish music.

Enrique Granados (1867-1916) was a Spanish composer and pianist who studied in Barcelona and Paris and whose life was tragically cut short by the First World War. One of his earliest and most enduring works though rarely performed today is the collection of 8 Waltzes for Solo Piano Valses Poeticos (Op. 43 1887). While they were intended to be performed as a suite each Waltz can still be performed individually and will easily stand on its own merits. Throughout the suite Granados seamlessly weaves the lucid lyrical melodies with the lively dance tempo to create one of the true classics of the genre something no aspiring pianistshould be without.

The texts are in Spanish untranslated.Spanish composer and pianist Enrique Granados was active in the decades around the turn of the last century. Granados’s life and work were cut tragically short when the passenger ship on which he was sailing was bombed by a German U-boat in the English Channel. Heis best known for his suite for Piano Goyescas which has been arranged for other instruments written in 1911 around the time that these songs were written.

Patykula John (Trans.). Par PATYKULA JOHN. Cette collection de petite mais colorée comprend cinq pièces par trois compositeurs arrangés pour flûte et guitare. Le XVIIIe siècle est représenté par une Gavotte de l'un des compositeurs les plus connus de la période, Padre Giovanni Battista Martini (1706-1784). Deux mouvements sont prises par le célèbre cycle piano de Tchaïkovski, un Album pour les jeunes: ' Old French Song ' et ' Chanson napolitaine. ' Enfin, deux pièces par Enrique Granados prêtent une saveur espagnole à la collection: ' Oriental ' et ' Jota (Rondalla Aragonesa). ' Manifestement, la flûte prend les devants dans ces arrangements duo, avec le guitariste jouant un rôle de soutien actif. La combinaison de la guitare et les flûte fonctionne bien, et ces pièces pourraient servir à fournir un contraste bienvenu à des morceaux de piano accompagnés dans un récital ou un programme de concert. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Classic - Ensemble-Mixed / Recueil / Guitare et Flûte Traversière
