Intermezzo from "Goyescas" (Double Bass, Piano)

This Intermezzo was especially composed for the first performance of Granados' opera 'Goyescas' at the Metropolitan Opera in New York on 28 January 1916 and is not included in the original score. This new edition by David Heyes is based on the original piano reduction created by the composer, transposed from E flat major into E major (solo tuning) and D major (orchestral tuning), and includes accompaniments for both tunings.

Intermezzo is a wonderfully evocative, atmospheric and dramatic scena for double bass and piano. Full of Spanish flavour and influences, it offers musical and technical challenges in equal measure and would be suitable for any concert or audience.
