Flamenco from Suite espagnole No. 1 Flamenco Guitar - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: S9.Q7151

The combination of musical melancholy and instrumental virtuosity captivates both players and audience alike. 'Flamenco' comes from the Suite espagnole No. 1 by the rather unknown Spanish composer Rogelio Huguet y Tagell. Originally intended as a piano trio, the suite was eventually composed for violoncello solo. This fact certainly explains the numerous double stops and chord structures running through the entire piece, thus giving it a sonorous sound. Entire pizzicato passages are reminiscent of flamenco guitar sounds and lyrically lamenting passages in the middle section emphasize the typical flamenco character.

Conçue à l’origine pour trio avec piano, la Suite fut finalement composée pour violoncelle seul. Des passages pizzicato rappellent les sonorités de la guitare flamenco tandis que les passages lyriques et plaintifs de la partie médiane fort ressortir le caractère flamenco typique.
