La primavera / Le printemps Op. 25 - Teresa Carreño (Score)

Patreon: / classicalmusicanalysis
Score of Teresa Carreño's waltz 'Le printemps' ('The spring') Op. 25, published in 1868. Besides the beautiful arpeggios that precede it at 3:38, a segment worth remarking is the continuously chromatic middle voice at 4:08, that seems to foretell Ravel's "La Valse" more than 50 years before it was composed. Even though the introduction feels somewhat puerile and wanton, the coda concludes it pretty well, specially with the cliché but well-loved I-vi-IV-V phrase at 5:37.
Teresa Carreño (1853-1917) was a Venezuelan composer, pianist and singer, considered one of the most prolific latinamerican female pianists of her time. She published around 75 works, mostly short piano pieces, and almost all of them were composed before she was 20 years old. Before that age she already met (and received compliments from) Brahms, Rossini, Liszt and others. She played for U.S President Abraham Lincoln when she was only 9, and Amy Beach - who has been featured in this YT channel ( • Les Rêves de Colombine... ) - dedicated her Piano Concerto to Carreño.
Performer: Clara Rodriguez
