Las Doce danzas españolas para piano son una serie de doce piezas pianísticas compuestas por el compositor Enrique Granados. Se desconocen las fechas exactas de composición de cada una de ellas, si bien se ha dicho que fueron escritas entre 1892 y 1900, si bien el propio compositor declaró que la mayoría son de 1883 (cuando contaba 16 años). Cabe la posibilidad de que, por otro lado, escritas en fechas tempranas, fuesen perfeccionadas más tarde por Granados, lo cual haría incompatible dos de sus cualidades: por una parte, su sencillez de escritura, generalmente tripartita A-B-A, alejada de las complejidades de su obra insigne Goyescas, y ello llevaría a pensar que son obras de juventud; por otra parte, la maestría, la elegancia y el dominio rítmico indicarían que estamos ante un compositor maduro. Sea como fuere, estas partituras constituyen una de las máximas aportaciones al piano español del siglo XIX.

Las Doce danzas españolas

Danza española
nº1. Denominada Minueto, es una especie de bolero en sol mayor que Granados dedicó a Amparo Gal, su futura esposa. Se inicia con una sección allegro, que modula a modo menor en una sección central más reposada, poco andante y regresa a la parte inicial.
Danza española
nº2. Denominada Oriental, es una bella danza escrita en do menor. La primera sección es un andante en el que la mano izquierda dibuja un sentido acompañamiento, mientras que la derecha entona la melancólica melodía principal. La sección central, lento assai, emana un lirimo sentimental.
Danza española
nº3. Esta danza recibe dos denominaciones, Fandango o Danza gallega. La partitura señala enérgico, y está en la tonalidad de re mayor. Es interesante por su garbo, su sentido rítmico y algún asomo de lirismo que sirve de contraste.
Danza española
nº4. Denominada Villanesca, está inspirada por Torquato Tasso. Es de carácter cortesano y, al mismo tiempo, popular. Señalada allegro alla pastorale, su aire pastoril, suave y melodioso es su mayor encanto. La canción y el estribillo de la sección central derivan del tema principal.
Danza española
nº5. Denominada Andaluza o Playera, es un andantino, quasi allegretto. Es la más conocida de todas estas danzas. Tiene cierto clima flamenco, por ello recibe la primera apelación. La mano izquierda hace una especie de punteado que recuerda el rasgueo de la guitarra.
Danza española
nº6. Se la denomina Rondalla aragonesa, siendo pues, una verdadera jota. Alegretto, poco a poco scherzando es su Tempo, con una primera sección brillante y de difícil plasmación para el pianista. La parte central es a modo de copla y posteriormente vuelve a aparecer la primera sección. Es una de las más brillantes.
Danza española
nº7. Se la conoce con el nombre de Valenciana o Calesera. Es un allegro arioso en sol mayor. Se trata de una jota valenciana con curiosos acordes sincopados y ritmo sostenido, evocación estilizada del baile popular. Granados la dedicó al compositor César Cui.
Danza española
nº8. Es una sardana, que utilizada su autor en homenaje a su tierra. Esta sardana aparece a través de su peculiar ritmo, con una dotación melódica variada y original. Está en do menor y es un assai moderato.
Danza española
nº9. Se denomina comúnmente Mazurca o Romántica. Es un molto allegro brillante en si bemol menor. Algunos estudiosos han visto en ella un zortzico vasco, pero el ritmo es distinto. Otros han hallado una proximidad al chotis. Como otros también la han considerado una página simplemente romántica.
Danza española
nº10. Denominada Danza triste o Melancólica, es un allegretto en sol mayor. Es una de las más difundidas de la serie. Desde el punto de vista formal es un tanto deslavazada, pero ahí reside su encanto.
Danza española
nº11. Denominada Zambra, es una hermosa e inspirada página que muestra reminiscencias de la música de raíces moriscas junto al virtuosismo y el rigor habituales en Granados.
Danza española
nº12. Está denominada Arabesca. Es de inspiración morisca, como la anterior danza. Se trata también de la última danza de la colección. Pieza de gran delicadeza, la melodía de la sección central tiene una gracia muy especial

Twelve Spanish dances for piano are a series of twelve piano pieces composed by composer Enrique Granados. The exact dates of composition of each is unknown, although it is said that they were written between 1892 and 1900, although the composer himself stated that most are 1883 (when he was 16 years). It is possible, on the other hand, written in early dates, they were perfected later by Granados, which would be incompatible two qualities: first, its ease of writing, usually tripartite ABA, away from the complexities of their Goyescas famous work, and this would suggest that youth are works; Moreover, mastery, elegance and rhythmic domain indicate that this is a mature composer. Anyway, these scores are one of the greatest contributions to Spanish piano nineteenth century.

Twelve Spanish dances

Spanish Dance

Spanish Dance
# 3. This dance takes two denominations, Fandango or Galician Dance. The score points energetic, and is in the key of D major. It is interesting for its grace, its rhythmic sense and any trace of lyricism that serves as a contrast.
Spanish Dance
No.4. Villanesca called, is inspired by Torquato Tasso. It is courtly and at the same time, popular. Marked allegro alla pastorale, its pastoral, soft and melodious air is its greatest charm. The song and the chorus of the central section derived from the main theme.
Spanish Dance
nº5. Called Andaluza or T, is a andantino, quasi allegretto. It is the best known of all these dances. It has some Flemish climate, therefore receives first appeal. The left hand makes a kind of dotted reminiscent strumming the guitar.
Spanish Dance
nº6. Aragon is called Rondalla, being thus a true jack. Alegretto gradually scherzando is your Tempo, with a brilliant first section plasmación difficult for the pianist. The central part is like a song and then reappears the first section. It is one of the brightest.
Spanish Dance

Spanish Dance
nº9. Is commonly referred Mazurca or Romantic. It’s a brilliant allegro molto in B flat minor. Some scholars have seen in it a Basque zortzico, but the pace is different. Others have found a proximity to chotis. As others have also considered a purely romantic page.
Spanish Dance
nº10. Called Danza triste or Melancholic, is an allegretto in G major. It is one of the most widespread of the series. From the formal point of view is somewhat disjointed, but therein lies its charm.
Spanish Dance
nº11. Called Zambra, is a beautiful and inspirational page that displays reminiscent of Moorish roots music with virtuosity and customary rigor in Granados.
Spanish Dance
nº12. It is called Arabesca. It is Moorish-inspired, like the previous dance. It is also the last dance of the collection. Piece of great delicacy, the melody of the central section has a very special grace.

Franz Liszt – Tasso, Lamento e Trionfo

FROM

Happy 200th Birthday to Franz Liszt!

Franz Liszt (October 22, 1811 — July 31, 1886) was a 19th-century Hungarian composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher.

Liszt became renowned throughout Europe during the nineteenth century for his virtuosic skill as a pianist. He was said by his contemporaries to have been the most technically advanced pianist of his age and perhaps the greatest pianist of all time.

Tasso, Lamento e Trionfo.

Franz Liszt composed his Tasso, Lamento e trionfo (Tasso, Lament and Triumph) in 1849, revising it in 1850-51 and again in 1854. It is numbered No. 2 in his cycle of 13 symphonic poems written during his Weimar period.

Liszt’s first sketch for this work is dated August 1, 1849. He had heard the principal theme for Tasso in Venice, Italy several years earlier, however, using it in the 1840 version of his piano piece “Chant do Goldolier” in Venezia e Napoli. Liszt completed the 1849 verion of Tasso as an overture in two sections, giving it to August Conradi to orchestrate. This version was performed in Weimar, Germany on the centennial of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe‘s birth as an overture to his drama Torquato Tasso. Liszt later corrected Conradi’s score and had Joachim Raff produce a new score in 1850–51. Liszt then revised this score extensively, adding a central section. This version was performed on April 19, 1854 in Weimar, conducted by Liszt.
