Pavana Capricho Op. 12 Piano

Pavana Capricho is one of the last pieces from Isaac Albeniz’s early period before he turned to Spanish influences a style that would characterise the rest of his compositions. In this earlier period Albeniz who was a child prodigy on the Piano composed ‘salon style’ music and experimented with traditional styles in the manner of Rameau Bach Beethoven Chopin and Liszt. His shift towards Spanish music occurred after meeting the teacher and composer Felipe Pedrell a leading figure in the development of nationalist Spanish music.Pavana-Capricho is graceful and light-hearted at the same time. Theplayfulness that arises from the alternating moods is best achieved when the proper technique and articulation is applied. Arranged for the solo Piano and with a performance time of ca. 3:30 this piece of Romantic solo music is a perfect addition to any concert programme.

This work was written early in Albeniz’s life when he was moving from a role as administrator and conductor of a touring zarzuela company to Barcelona and then Madrid where he established himself in the life of the capital. The Pavane Caprichio is an idiomatic work incorporating elements of Iberian sonorities and ornamentation in a sound convincing work.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.

Jan Sweelinck (1562-1621) was among the most famous organists of seventeenth century Europe and an influential composer in the Dutch and North German tradition. Bridging both Renaissance and Baroque styles the Dutch composer is best remembered for the inventive sparkling music he wrote for organ and other keyboard instruments. This remarkable treasury includes nearly all of Sweelinck's brilliant keyboard works most of which have survived only in widely scattered seventeenth century manuscripts. In Sweelinck's day these were some of Europe's most popular pieces for organ and keyboard. Nowadays they retain every bit of their original intensity and vigour. Reproduced inthis authoritative complete-resource edition they will be welcomed by serious keyboard artists who will find them as praiseworthy today as they were when first known and played in Europe over three hundred years ago.
