The six movements are titled 'La rosa als llavis,' 'La pastora,' 'El mariner,' 'La filadora,' 'El testament d'Amelia,' and 'El més petit de tots.' The first movement, 'La rosa als llavis,' is a romantic and lyrical song that features a flowing piano accompaniment and a soaring vocal melody. The second movement, 'La pastora,' is a lively and playful song that showcases Toldrá's skill at creating catchy and memorable melodies. The third movement, 'El mariner,' is a haunting and melancholic song that features a sparse and atmospheric piano accompaniment. The fourth movement, 'La filadora,' is a charming and whimsical song that tells the story of a young girl spinning wool. The fifth movement, 'El testament d'Amelia,' is a poignant and emotional song that tells the story of a dying woman's last wishes. The final movement, 'El més petit de tots,' is a joyful and upbeat song that celebrates the smallest things in life. Overall, Toldrá's 'Canciones (6), Nos 1-6' is a beautiful and varied collection of songs that showcases the composer's skill at creating memorable melodies and evocative moods. The work has become a staple of the Spanish art song repertoire and is frequently performed and recorded by singers and pianists around the world.
