It consists of five movements, each of which is inspired by a different corner or neighborhood of Seville, a city in southern Spain. The first movement, titled "La Plaza," is a lively and rhythmic piece that captures the energy and bustle of Seville's main square. The second movement, "Los Naranjos," is a more contemplative piece that evokes the peaceful atmosphere of Seville's orange groves. The third movement, "La Sed," is a passionate and dramatic piece that reflects the intense heat and thirst of Seville's summer months. The fourth movement, "El Barrio de Santa Cruz," is a nostalgic and romantic piece that celebrates the beauty and charm of Seville's historic Jewish quarter. The final movement, "Triana," is a lively and festive piece that captures the spirit of Seville's vibrant Triana neighborhood, known for its flamenco music and dance. Overall, 'Rincones sevillanos, Op. 5' is a beautiful and evocative tribute to the city of Seville, showcasing Turina's skill as a composer and his deep love for his hometown.
