Robert Schumann: Album Für Die Jugend Op. 68 - 40. Little Fugue
Little Fugue stands out as one of the most challenging in the set. This piece, with its intricate counterpoint and layered voices, demands both technical skill and deep musical understanding, making it best suited for the very advanced young pianist.
Esta pieza evoca la tradición taurina de Sevilla y la excitación y anticipación que rodea a un día de corrida en la famosa Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza. Turina tenía una habilidad especial para capturar la esencia de Andalucía en su música.
The piece "A los toros" is the fourth and final movement of this suite. Its title, which translates as "To the Bulls" or "Towards the Bullring", evokes Seville's bullfighting tradition and the excitement and anticipation surrounding a bullfighting day at the famous Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza.
Turina had a special ability to capture the essence of Andalusia in his music, and "A los toros" is surely no exception.
