"No bailes más!" is a piano piece composed by Ignacio Cervantes, a Cuban composer and pianist, in 1885. The piece was premiered in Havana, Cuba, in the same year. It is a part of Cervantes' Danzas Cubanas, a collection of 41 piano pieces that reflect the rhythms and melodies of Cuban music. "No bailes más!" is a lively and energetic piece that captures the essence of the Cuban contradanza, a popular dance form in the 19th century. The piece is in the key of C major and has a fast tempo, with a time signature of 2/4. It consists of three main sections, each with its own distinct melody and rhythm. The first section is marked Allegro con brio and is characterized by a syncopated rhythm that creates a sense of urgency and excitement. The melody is playful and light, with a series of ascending and descending arpeggios that give the piece a sense of movement and momentum. The second section is marked Andantino and is more lyrical and introspective. The melody is more subdued, with a series of gentle arpeggios that create a sense of calm and tranquility. This section provides a contrast to the first section and allows the listener to catch their breath before the final section. The third section is marked Allegro and is a return to the energy and excitement of the first section. The melody is more complex and intricate, with a series of rapid-fire arpeggios and trills that create a sense of virtuosity and skill. The piece ends with a flourish, with a final series of ascending arpeggios that bring the piece to a thrilling conclusion. Overall, "No bailes más!" is a masterful example of Cervantes' ability to capture the rhythms and melodies of Cuban music in a piano piece. Its lively and energetic character makes it a popular choice for pianists and audiences alike, and it remains a beloved piece of Cuban music to this day.
