Description
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. Our Urtext edition of the dazzlingly virtuoso Goyescas Œ_ no doubt his best-known piano composition Œ_ now brings a prestigious new work to our catalogue. The suite was written between 1909 and 1911. Its unusual title goes back to the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, whose paintingsinspired Granados. The Goyescas conjure up Spanish life in GoyaŒÍs time at the end of the 18th century Œ_ gallant and sensual, but also melancholic and dark. The subtitle ŒñLos majos enamoradosŒî (the young lovers) provides a thematic link among the six scenes which depict the joys and sufferings of budding love.
