Suite española
Spanish composer
Definition
Spanish suite — Lecuona's own subtitle for his Andalucía suite, indicating that the six pieces form a unified portrait of southern Spain despite being playable individually.
Interpretive Guidance
When performing the full suite, observe the regional character shift between movements: Córdoba is stately and Moorish, Alhambra delicate and ornamented, Gitanerías driving and presto, Malagueña building relentlessly to its climax.
