Description Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909) began his musical life as a piano prodigy in Barcelona at the age of four, and it is as a prolific composer of solo works for the pianoforte that we must celebrate him most. This Dover edition presents two of Albeniz' best known works in authoritative editions: the piano suite Iberia, generally considered to be his masterpiece; and the album leaves Espana, which contain the 'Tango', his most popular individual work. Iberia is a collection of twelve musical scenes of Spanish life, principally Andalusian, written between 1906 and 1909. Its brilliant and complex character is suffused with the rhythms and harmonies of Spanish popular music, to which Albeniz turned for inspiration in the last years of his life. Espana, an earlier work first published in 1890, is made up of six piano pieces that subtly reflect the influences of the piano literature of the 19th century-salon, and, like Iberia, the harmony and style of Impressionism, which Albeniz undeniably helped to establish.

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.

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.

Asturias d'Isaac Albeniz, pour cycle 2 ou 3Doigtés : Arnaud Sansdoigtés et arrangement conformes à la partition origniale pour piano / Guitare

Isaac Albeniz's España Op.165 features six Piano compositions from 1890 by this renowned Spanish pianist and composer. Featuring Preludio Tango Malagueña Serenata Capricho Catalan and Zortzico.

Arrangeur : Nicolas Herrouët « Nicolas HERROUËT, baritoniste du Quatuor de Saxophones Ellipsos, propose une nouvelle version de la partition « Asturias », extrait de la Suite Espagnole d’Isaac ALBENIZ pour piano à l’origine et rendue célèbre par la version guitare. C’est à titre posthume que l’éditeur intègre ce mouvement à la Suite dont chaque mouvement évoque le style d’une région d’Espagne. « Asturias » en devriendra alors l’extrait le plus connu, avec ses notes piquées et répétées inspirées du flamenco andalous. Cet arrangement (première partition éditée dans la collection « Quatuor Ellipsos » aux éditions Billaudot), est une pure merveille et j’en suis sûr, comblera tous les amateurs du genre. Je tiens à féliciter le « Quatuor Ellipsos » pour son action et lui souhaite avec mes plus vifs encouragements, beaucoup de succès.
