From the ' Goyescas '
Los requiebros (Gallantries)
Coloquio on la reja (Lover s colloquy) El fandango de candil (Fandango)
Quejas e la maja y el ruisenor (The maja and the nightingale) played by Iris Loveridge (piano)
Granados's series of piano pieces ' Goyescas ' was inspired by a drawing by the famous Spanish artist Goya, and has the sub-title ' Los majos enamorados' (The love-sick gallants). Each piece has its own title: the first, ' Gallantries ', depicts a man and a woman indulging in the highly conventionalised art of Spanish love-making.
The ' Coloquio on la reja ' means
' Conversation at the barred window ' and is a love duet. ' El fandango de candil ' portrays the dancing of the fandango by the light of a lamp. The last is the best known of the set arid is often played separately.
