Canci³n Catalan (Capricho Catalan) [Alf:36-60710006]

Isaac Albİniz (1860-1909) wrote his suite Espaħa (Espagna), Op. 165, also known as Seis Hojas de Album (Six Album Leaves) for piano in 1889, with the first performance taking place on June 7th of the following year, at the Steinway Hall in London. Each of the six movements recreates a traditional Spanish dance or evokes Spanish folk music. Famed American violinist, composer, and pedagogue Samuel Dushkin completed this arrangement for violin and piano that included three of the movements: 1. Malagueħa, 2. Canci³n Catalan (or Capricho Catalan), 3. Tango. The middle movement is here presented alone. Reprint edition.
