Programme

  • 1867-1916

    Escenas Románticas (Granados)
    i Mazurka – Recitativo ii Berceuse iii Lento con éxtasis iv Allegretto v Allegro appassionato vi Epílogo

    Pantaleón Enrique Joaquín Granados Campiña was a Spanish composer of classical music, and concert pianist from Catalonia, Spain. His most well-known works include Goyescas, the Spanish Dances [es], and María del Carmen.

    His music can be divided into three styles or periods: A romantic style including such pieces as Escenas Románticas and Escenas Poeticas. A more typically nationalist, Spanish style including such pieces as Danzas Españolas (Spanish Dances), 6 Piezas sobre cantos populares españoles (Six Pieces based on popular Spanish songs). The Goya (Goyesca) period, which includes the piano suite Goyescas, the opera Goyescas, various Tonadillas for voice and piano, and other works.

    Escenas románticas was composed in 1903.

  • 1797-1828

    Sonata in B-flat Major D 960 (Schubert)
    i Molto moderato ii Andante sostenuto iii Scherzo: Allegro vivace con delicatezza iv Allegro ma non troppo

    Franz Schubert’s last three piano sonatas, D 958, 959 and 960, are his last major compositions for solo piano. They were written during the last months of his life, between the spring and autumn of 1828, but were not published until about ten years after his death, in 1838–39. Like the rest of Schubert’s piano sonatas, they were mostly neglected in the 19th century. By the late 20th century, however, public and critical opinion had changed, and these sonatas are now considered among the most important of the composer’s mature masterpieces. They are part of the core piano repertoire, appearing regularly on concert programs and recordings.
