• When composing his Spanish Dances (HN 1370), the composer and violin virtuoso Sarasate united existing material – folk songs and songs by well-known composers – with his own uniquely charming musical language. The two Dances op. 22, “Romanza andaluza” and “JotaNavarra”, were completed in 1878 during Sarasate s first concert tour through Scandinavia. After their initial performances, the lyrical “Romanza” soon outstripped its brilliant sister piece in popularity, and thereafter it was one of Sarasate s compositions that he played most often himself. Since then, this piece has lost nothing of its charm, and it is now available as a stand-alone edition in the Henle catalogue.
