These are the pieces that make me identify as a cuban, even more in exile they still have a intense emotional resonance. One day, I hope, I will be able to play at least one…
It’s so difficult to interpret Cuban pieces at the “right” way, you did it great! Maybe more legato and rubato are necessary, specially at “la virtuosa” it’s such a sentimental piece! :)
I forgot, there is a non explicit ritardando in the descending scale, starting in B flat. This piece is extremely melancholic despite its tempo and apparently happy rythm
El pañuelo de Pepa is actually, more legato, cuban music doesn't use that much staccato (non legato is more accurate to don't break the rythm that much), the pedal is extremely necessary in the "Paseo" (second round of the contradanza) to sustain the havanaise rythm and the triplets. El pañuelo was the first cuban piece I played at the conservatory.
Andrew Murphy That's a good description. It seems to have been a tradition in Central and Latin America to abbreviate dance music so that it would fit on just one page of score, and I suspect it was up to the performer to extemporise continuations of the pieces. The scores of Ernesto Nazareth and Ignacio Cervantes are also pretty concise.

@@orlandosanchez3605 I must try and play more such music myself!
Wonderful! As the morning rays. Thank you Maestro. Greetings from Croatia. Mira
***** Thank you, Mira - and greetings from a very wet UK!
Y el rubato? Y en lo que respecta al pedal, a mi juicio es muy necesario porque en general, todo suena muy staccato.

Thank you very much, Camila. It is quite a few years since I recorded this, and I would probably put more rubato in were I to play it again now.

Lenier Pernas Thank you for that interesting comment, which I will bear in mind next time I play these pieces.
Song good
JR Wu Thank you!
Like Gottschalk, but more concise!
