ALBENIZ ISAAC ALBENIZ IBERIA FOURTH BOOK

Piano

Publisher: Henle
Composer: Isaac Albeniz
Editor: Norbert Gertsch

With the fourth and last book, our blue Urtext editions of the Iberia cycle are now complete. Albeniz had greatly struggled to complete the work because he was very ill. Yet he was able to hand over all of the twelve pieces he had promised to the pianist Joaquin with whom he was friends. Following the sensuous dance rhythms in Malaga and the cheerful and lively Eritana, he succeeded in creating a striking musical portrait of the famous Spanish wine-growing region with Jerez. Music has never achieved such a diverse and colorful form, was the judgement passed on Albeniz' late Romantic masterpiece by none other than Claude Debussy.
