Isaac Albéniz: Puerta De Tierra Bolero: Violin: Instrumental Work

The young Isaac Albeniz published Recuerdos de Viaje for solo Piano in 1887 including this movement Puerta de Tierra which was also published as ‘Andalucia’. It is a bolero a traditional dance movement that was frequently performed in theatres in Cadiz – the site of the Puerta de Tierra – at the time that Albeniz was writing this piece. The single movement is full of Iberian fire and virtuosic passages with repeating triplet figures in Spanish style typical of Albeniz. In its Piano form this piece has been used as a very effective encore and it may well find a home as the finale of a Trumpet recital. Spanish composer and pianist Isaac Albeniz (1860 -1909) was one of Spain’s foremost musicians a world-renowned soloist contributing to the rebirth of Spanish musical nationalism and gaining international recognition for the music of Spain.

La Collection Albéniz est dédié aux oeuvres de Isaac Albéniz, le pianiste virtuose, qui peut être considéré comme l'un des créateurs de l'école moderne espagnole. Konrad Ragossnig a arrangé les morceaux au piano pour deux guitares: particularités harmoniques et rythmiques ainsi que le son et la couleur de la musique espagnole se distinguent plus clairement que dans les oeuvres pour piano depuis le timbre de la guitare marque la source d'inspiration musicale dans l'oeuvre d'Albéniz. Les dix arrangements sont faciles ou moyennement difficiles et un parfait complément au répertoire pour le jeu en duo. / 2 Guitares
