Description

Alb��niz�� piano music is truly irresistible, in particular because of itsdance-like elements and its Spanish atmosphere. Asturias combines these elements in a most sophisticated manner. It first appeared in 1892 as t he Pr��lude to the Chants d��Espagne (HN 782), and again in 1901, this time with the title Asturias in the Suite Espagnole (HN 783), and the piecesoon became one of the composer��s best-loved works. Who isn��t familiar with the mysterious guitar sounds that conjure up a Flamenco scene in Andalusia? The piece has often been arranged, but we are publishing it in the original Urtext version for solo piano �� in an affordable single edition.
