Enriqué Granados' 'Valses poéticos (7), H. 147' is a collection of seven waltzes for solo piano. The work was composed in 1890 and premiered in 1900. The seven movements are titled: 1. Melodioso 2. Tempo de Vals noble 3. Tempo de Vals lento 4. Allegro humorístico 5. Allegretto 6. Quasi ad libitum (Sentimental) 7. Vivo The 'Valses poéticos' are characterized by their lyrical melodies, lush harmonies, and virtuosic piano writing. The first waltz, 'Melodioso,' sets the tone for the entire work with its flowing melody and delicate accompaniment. The second waltz, 'Tempo de Vals noble,' is more stately and regal, while the third waltz, 'Tempo de Vals lento,' is more introspective and melancholic. The fourth waltz, 'Allegro humorístico,' is a playful and whimsical piece, with a lively melody and syncopated rhythms. The fifth waltz, 'Allegretto,' is a charming and graceful piece, with a light and airy feel. The sixth waltz, 'Quasi ad libitum (Sentimental),' is the most emotional and expressive of the set, with a tender melody and rich harmonies. The final waltz, 'Vivo,' is a lively and energetic piece, with a fast-paced melody and virtuosic piano writing. The 'Valses poéticos' are a testament to Granados' skill as a composer and pianist, and remain a beloved work in the piano repertoire.
