'Canzones Castellanas (6) No. 5, Como quires que adivine!' is a composition by Jesús Guridi, a Spanish composer known for his works that reflect the Basque and Castilian cultures. The piece was composed in 1941 and premiered in the same year in Madrid, Spain. The composition is part of a set of six songs called 'Canzones Castellanas' that Guridi composed between 1939 and 1941. The songs are written for voice and piano and are based on traditional Castilian folk melodies. 'Como quires que adivine!' is the fifth song in the set and is known for its playful and humorous character. The piece is divided into three movements. The first movement is marked 'Allegro vivace' and is characterized by its lively and energetic rhythm. The piano accompaniment is playful and syncopated, creating a sense of anticipation and excitement. The vocal line is light and playful, with the singer asking a series of questions in a teasing and flirtatious manner. The second movement is marked 'Andante con moto' and is more introspective in character. The piano accompaniment is more subdued, with a gentle and flowing melody that supports the vocal line. The singer reflects on the nature of love and the difficulties of understanding the emotions of another person. The final movement is marked 'Allegro giocoso' and is a return to the playful and humorous character of the first movement. The piano accompaniment is lively and syncopated, with a sense of mischief and fun. The vocal line is light and playful, with the singer continuing to tease and flirt with the listener. Overall, 'Canzones Castellanas (6) No. 5, Como quires que adivine!' is a charming and playful composition that reflects Guridi's love for the traditional music of Castile. The piece is characterized by its lively rhythms, playful melodies, and humorous lyrics, making it a popular choice for singers and audiences alike.
