Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1449751 Composed by Joaquín Malats (1872 - 1912). Arranged by Pedro Jesús Gómez (arranger) & Juan Velázquez (editor). 19th Century,Romantic Period. Individual part. 12 pages. Pedro Jesús Gómez Lorente #1029511. Published by Pedro Jesús Gómez Lorente (A0.1449751). Joaquín Malats's Serenata Española was premiered at the Salon Érard in Barcelona on 22 September 1891,[1] and was published by Zozaya a year later. Despite what it may seem from the initial title on the cover of the Suite Impresiones de España, this work was never performed as a suite for orchestra. Originally conceived as a collection in which the Serenade was the second of the pieces, only this one was published in addition to the first one: Danza. Joaquim Malats performed these two compositions in numerous concerts as part of the Suite Impresiones de España,[2] however, he neither published them as a unitary corpus, nor did the ochestral version see the light. The suite was initially dedicated to the great writer Benito Pérez Galdós, who was also a personal friend of the composer. This edition aims to provide a new vision of the work by contrasting the first two arrangements that were made, by Tárrega and by his disciple Severino García Fortea, with the original piano source, paying special attention to include agogics, dynamics and phrasing arcs indications in the piano font and to the maintenance of the original structure of the work.
