"Iban al pinar, H. 24/6" is a piano piece composed by the Spanish composer Enriqué Granados. The piece was composed in 1911 and premiered the same year in Barcelona. It is part of Granados' collection of twelve Spanish dances for piano, which he composed between 1890 and 1900. "Iban al pinar" is the sixth piece in the collection and is characterized by its lively and rhythmic melody. The piece is in the key of A minor and is written in 3/4 time. The tempo is marked as "Allegro" and the piece is meant to be played with a light and playful touch. The piece is divided into three distinct sections or movements. The first movement is marked "Allegro" and features a lively and syncopated melody. The second movement is marked "Andante" and is more subdued, with a slower and more contemplative melody. The third movement is marked "Allegro" and returns to the lively and rhythmic melody of the first movement. "Iban al pinar" is a quintessential example of Granados' style, which is characterized by its use of Spanish folk melodies and rhythms. The piece is full of energy and vitality, and its playful melody is sure to delight audiences. It is a testament to Granados' skill as a composer and his ability to capture the essence of Spanish music in his compositions.
