early intermediate

Alegría de Vacaciones in C major

Carmen Barradas

What's this piece like?
We do not know when this piece was written, but the surviving manuscript suggests Barradas was likely in her teens. It is nonetheless a remarkable little piece, that uses only two chords in very clever and unexpected ways. The middle section uses wide broken chord positions, which makes it a very effective exercise in finger coordination and strength.
Who's this piece for?
Ideal for intermediate level pianists who like original and non-traditional pieces.

MOOD: Playful, whimsical and humorous.
