English translation of the description Enrique Granados' Eight Poetic Waltzes, composed in Barcelona in 1899, make up one of the author's best-known and most romantic suites. Granados, during his first (and even later) compositions, showed a great interest in the romantic piano of the moment, and in some of his works melodic characteristics of Chopin or Schumann are perceived. Listed as the 10th work of the composer, these are juvenile fruits, possibly from 1887. In reality they were part of a much broader whole - Letters, Waltzes of Love- and are the result of a selection made by Granados to offer them in dedication «To my friend Joaquín Malats». In the first edition of 1887 there was another name. The author erases it in the copy he sends to the famous pianist and writes: «This work is dedicated to you, Joaquín. The other name is not valid. Music to the 3/4 rhythm, very Chopinian according to Henri Collet's words, without missing Schubertian connections but not the personal stamp either, even in the case of very early fruit. What, however, does not seem reasonable is that they are considered especially representative. The set of poetic Waltzes is made up of an introductory Vivace molto, the seven waltzes and a final Presto in which the theme of the first of the aforementioned waltzes is expressly recalled. Pentagrams of clarity and brevity sums.
He had the talent to combine the tradition of Central European late romanticism with the characteristics of Spanish music. We have op 50, a work that is unfortunately seldom played but one of the really great ones alongside Goyescas and Danzas españolas.
¡Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo! He escuchado la música clásica hace muchisimos años, y nunca he encontrado a este hombre hasta que aprendí (mas o menos) español y llevaba un rato para conocer a figuras culturales claves que han influido al país. Me siento engañado que nunca haya oido hablar de este hombre. Españoles y catalanes, vosotros habéis creado un verdadero genio. ¡Sentiros orgullosos! (y la humanidad tambien por supuesto)
Misprint in the sheet music: at 1:46 (16 bar repeated section) 2nd line, 2nd bar, 2nd bass note should be B, not C#, as elsewhere. I've seen several editions, and they all slavishly repeat this obvious slip of the pen. Ms de Larrocha, of course, plays it correctly. How fortunate we are to have her recordings.
+WJohnM You're absolutely right. I don't like this edition but it's the only one I could find free-domain on line. Sorry for these mistakes but as you said we're glad to hear the correct interpretation of Alicia :)
Es una obra bellísima... Además, interpretada por la increíble Alicia... Sin embargo, he notado que esta composición tiene una particularidad: posee una fuerte influencia de una obra de Robert Schumann. Alguien se animaría a descifrar qué obra es esa de Schumann? Dejo aquí esta propuesta como un juego musical (como los enigmas y acertijos, que tanto le gustaban a Schumann). It is a beautiful work... Furthermore, performed by the incredible Alicia... However, I have noticed that this composition has a particularity: it has a strong influence of a work by Robert Schumann. Would anyone dare to guess what Schumann's work is? I leave this proposal here as a musical game (like the enigmas and riddles, which Schumann liked so much).
Thanks, I couldn't check because there is only one edition on IMSLP. Unfortunately I hear D in many recordings... especially guitar transcriptions (some of which even omit the 7th movement, Vivo). There is even one recording (Daniel Ligorio) where D♯ is played on first repeat and D on second repeat! Ratzkowski / Thomsen also gets the following note wrong.
It is the piano is not really well tuned up. I know it is Alicia Larrocha playing, but actually you did realize well the piano plays 1/2 tune higher from the partiture. The partiture is well, I know as I am pianist in Spain and the spanish music is my soul, I always play so, till I was in virtuosity level. In the programs I had plenty of types of paritures i could play and the most I liked and used to play were spanish and Chopin valses ;)
This pianist adds a lot of his own flair to the music. It's beautiful, but hilarious trying to imagine people actually trying to dance a waltz to this.
@Egg MCMUFFIN Only pasty dorks who can't dance think rhythm is static. Dancers have phrasing too. You must be illiterate If you can't understand molto or rall.
@Egg MCMUFFIN Come on! You have to understand that these are not waltzes to dance! They are piano pieces with the "air" of a waltz, not traditional waltzes.
¡Es IMPRESIONANTE la interpretación de Alicia!
Her playing is brilliant and expressive
Only Granados can be so simple melodically but so beautiful! Can't thank you enough for bringing music to us!
Wow que vals tan más bonito , si lo hubiera conocido en mis xv sin duda lo hubiera elegido muchas gracias por tocarlo y darlo a conocer.
So wonderful. Reminds me of that afternoon when I played for the youngest daughter of Granados. Alicia was my teacher.
Really 😯 ??????

Finally, I found this.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you a lot
Finally I found it
Omg I have been thinking where I heard that passage. Thanks haha
Mhm lol I just found this song today from a comment on his TH-cam video.

As a subscriber to both your channels, I feel as though I should thank you twice as often for the gifts you give us. Thank you, again.
Sem nenhuma dúvida, a maior pianista do século XX.
What an interpretation she really let us listen to the whole piece,the flow not just a piece of some notes
Magnificent cycle of waltzes and idiomatic performance from de Larrocha who was an heir to Granados’ pianistic style.
how wonderful! one of my favorite pieces and pianists. Thank you.
This work is so, so lovely.
Thanks a lot for the perfect sync between performance and music score !
No. 5 was featured in ABRSM's Selected Exam Pieces for Grade 6 for years 2005-06
No 6 has been featured 2023-2024
so so so beautiful melody that can only come from Granados.....🥰
Lindaaaa! Vou iniciar a estuda-la!!!
Elegancy, nice touch, influenced by Schumann and Chopin, that's only a plus, nothing wrong with that at all, why should it? Great composer!
Es un crimen... repito, un crimen... que no haya conocido a Granados antes.
Impresionante y bello. Los sentimientos, son indescriptibles.
Te recomendaría echar un vistazo a sus Goyescas, y por favor, no te olvides de Albeniz, Turina y Falla, creo que es necesario conocerlos
@@fryderyckchopin484
Las he escuchado y escucho...
Mil gracias!!!

Me paso lo mismo, el músico mas subestimado que conocí. Por otro lado su sensibilidad y buen gusto esta al máximo nivel musical

Yeah, this is recurrent in all the sheet music of all the music, unfortunately. I have the same mistake on my version of the piece.
Tolkirum I
Quina joia. Dona gust sentir aquesta preciositat just el 27 de juliol, dia en què va néixer el nostre estimat Enrique Granados
Simplemente hermoso :)
Maravillosa interpretación! Debían ser tocadas más frecuentemente!
Preciosa!
Such a gem - thanks for sharing! 💎
There is a ballet of Nacho Duato called Remanso set to this music, I heard this piece when it the first time and loved it
Thanks for sharing this precious piece.
Gracias por compartir.
Belo. Belíssimo! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

me gusta mucho
this is my favourite interpretation that exists in this world but why does the recording quality have to be so poor ; A;
Thanks for sharing
Reminds me of Schumann Papillons.
어떤 모 연주자꺼 듣다가 이분꺼 들으니 머리가 다 맑아지네
No. 4 is exactly like the opening of Faschingsschwank aus Wien
magnifique
Quite similar to Skryabin's etude in E major # 5
How come I can hear an echo of the music even before it begins sometimes?
+Archishman Ghosh That's probably because it was recorded a long time ago and the sound is sometimes a bit rough. Sorry though!
Because this recording is ripped from an LP (or SP).
beautiful.
💙💙💙
The seconds piece sounds like Schumann
Gosh, papillons???!!!
@@Liduniya yeah the first movement.
Also the 3rd and 4th. Very schumannesque sound.
넘 좋다🥰
I hear a D♯ at 9:24 instead of the printed D. Which one is the mistake? I think the printed D is a mistake.
missing sharp its a mistake of the score
Thanks, I couldn't check because there is only one edition on IMSLP. Unfortunately I hear D in many recordings... especially guitar transcriptions (some of which even omit the 7th movement, Vivo).

What does this have to do with the misprint?
one more: b natural at 3:22
This pianist adds a lot of his own flair to the music. It's beautiful, but hilarious trying to imagine people actually trying to dance a waltz to this.
The painist was taught by one of granado's closet friend (and student), so she knows what she is doing

Yes, thank you! Dances are quite strict in tempo, limiting somewhat an artist's expressiveness.

To anyone who wants to play this and finds this exact sheet, this is very innaccurate and its missing a lot of notes. Just for you to know.
How so?

Her interpretation is a bit too strident for me... These can have real beauty when played more lyrically.

Demasiado apresurado al principio
7:05 you can clearly hear the pianist making contribution to add extra notes
