• This masterpiece, classified between folk music and art music, combines characteristic Spanish rhythms with the finest elegance of chamber music
• For advanced amateurs and professionals
The “Suite populaire espagnole” by violin virtuoso Paul Kochanski combines characteristic Spanish rhythms with the finest chamber music elegance. The basis is Falla’s song cycle “Siete canciones populares españolas” from 1914 – a masterpiece between folk art and art music, which blends folkloristic timbres with impressionistic harmonies. Paul Kochanski’s dazzling arrangement from 1926 plays with violin techniques such as pizzicato to evoke the castanets in “Jota” or muted strings in “Asturiana”. The Henle edition offers clear musical notation and is the ideal starting point for a performance of these Spanish impressions.
