Description
Enrique Granados left a varied and wide-ranging body of work, but it is his piano music that remains particularly vibrant today. Our new Urtext edition of his dazzlingly virtuosic suite Goyescas – undoubtedly his most famous piano composition – adds a prestigious new work to our catalogue. Composed between 1909 and 1911, the Goyescas suite draws inspiration from the paintings of Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, evoking the gallant, sensual, yet melancholic and dark aspects of 18th century Spanish life. The subtitle "Los majos enamorados" (The Gallant Lovers) provides a thematic thread linking the six scenes depicting the joys and sorrows of budding romance.
