This inexpensive Dover edition, designed to give you a lifetime of musical enjoyment, presents two of Albéniz's best-known works in authoritative editions: the piano suite \u003ci\u003eIberia\u003c\/i\u003e, generally considered to be his masterpiece; and \u003ci\u003eEspaña, \u003c\/i\u003e which contains the Tango, his most popular individual work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIberia\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of twelve musical scenes of Spanish life, principally Andalusian, written in the years from 1906 to 1909. Its brilliant and complex character is suffused with the rhythms and harmonies of Spanish popular music, to which Albéniz turned for inspiration in the last years of his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEspaña, \u003c\/i\u003e an earlier work first published in 1890, is made up of six piano pieces that subtly reflect the influences of the piano literature of the nineteenth-century salon and -- like \u003ci\u003eIberia\u003c\/i\u003e -- the harmony and style of impressionism, which Albéniz himself helped to create. Both works reveal characteristics of the highly individualized piano technique Albéniz developed from early childhood and perfected under the tutelage of Liszt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 11.96 x 9.05 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 1987\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756094849312,"sku":"9780486253671","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/dc1c358422a6d67a57e0e79364a01562.webp?v=1780074015","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/iberia-and-espana-two-complete-works-for-solo-piano-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
