Talk:Iberia (Albéniz)

Suite explanation
I'm adding information about the dances, especially according to the document http://www.lib.umd.edu/PAL/YALE/albeniz4.html. I will quote properly when finished.  thedarkestclear  Talk 10:28, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Evocación
Isn't Evocación in the highly unusual key of C flat minor - 7 flats? I've wondered if the key signature is part of the "evocación" deisenbe (talk) 10:59, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * No. A flat minor is the relative key to C flat major - both (of course) 7 flats. C flat minor would be the relative key to E double flat major (10 flats). That would be very unusual.--87.167.12.13 (talk) 10:52, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Almería
"the rhythm of the tarantas, a dance characteristic of the region of Almería".

The taranta isn't danceable, it's a cante libre (part of the fandango family). The danceable version is called tarantos (with an o), which is in 4/4. Should this be changed?

OR
The entire section about how Spanish Iberia is appears to be OR, partly because it is unsourced. I gather it's been taken from the Spanish language wiki, where such types of passages are tolerated more often. I suggest it be sourced and rewritten or removed. 114.94.224.54 (talk) 00:13, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just flagged this section as being WP:OR and of unencylopedic WP:TONE. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 13:35, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

"The rarely seen seven-flat key signature is itself part of the Evocación"
Can anyone explain what this (uncited) sentence is trying to say? AndrewWTaylor (talk) 13:36, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

First recording of the complete Iberia Suite
Before Alicia de Larrocha, Leopoldo Querol Roso recorded it in 1952 on LP in Paris for the Ducretet-Thomson label (De música y músicos: Noticias breves y comentarios de actualidad. ABC. November 30, 1952). The recording has been digitized and published in 2006 by Emi Music France titled Les Rarissimes de Leopoldo Querol. MarioMaso (talk) 22:34, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
