Urtext edition for piano, edited by Ullrich Scheideler.
Difficulty: difficult.
Languages: German/English/French
The Spanish composer Enrique Granados left a varied and wide-ranging
oeuvre, but it is above all his piano music that is still very much
alive today. The Urtext edition of the dazzlingly virtuoso »Goyescas« – no
doubt his best-known piano composition – now brings a prestigious new
work to Henle's catalogue. The suite was written between 1909 and 1911. Its
unusual title goes back to the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, whose
paintings inspired Granados.
The »Goyescas« conjure up Spanish life in
Goya’s time at the end of the 18th century – gallant and sensual, but
also melancholic and dark. The subtitle »Los majos enamorados« (the
young lovers) provides a thematic link among the six scenes which depict
the joys and sufferings of budding love.
