DESCRIPTION:
"Quality product and beautiful music" according to Jess J.. I bought this book for the Goyescas suite which I was learning for school/a masterclass. I do like Dover's off-white paper, definitely easy on the eyes. I do wish it was just a bit thicker but it's great quality when you consider how inexpensive the book is.

In each of its six pieces, the composer employs wild, insistent melody and highly individual rhythm, harmony, and coloring to create dramatic impressions of paintings by Goya, to whose work Granados was deeply drawn.The exquisite Spanish Dances, a suite of early works, were much admired by the leading composers of the day, among them Massenet, Saint-Saëns, and Grieg, not only for their distinctive musical qualities, but also for the new direction in Spanish music which they heralded. They remain today perhaps the most performed of Granados's work.Less well known in America are the beautiful Escenas poéticas and Escenas románticas, two suites which reflect Granados's interest in the music of Grieg, Schumann, and Liszt, yet are filled with the great Spanish composer's original modulations and charac
