{"product_id":"afw-00350246","title":"Trois Esquisses Lyriques, Op. 144","description":"Nos. 3-5 of Bacri's 'Esquisses Lyriques'. Valse triste is Bacri's third Esquisse Lyrique and third attempt at reviving the outdated genre of 'salon music' that, in the 19th century, was meant to be a convivial genre expressing intimate feelings in the most acceptable way possible, thereby creating a sort of comedy of immodesty. Chanson et valse (Esquisses lyriques nos. 4 and 5) was commissioned by Maria Canyigueral, a Catalan pianist residing in London, for her 'Avant-guarding Mompou' project, consisting of several new pieces based on fragments of Catalan folk melodies and thereby echoing the music of the great composer Federico Mompou. The six notes from a Sardana - F A G C A F - form the beginning of a sweet, plaintive song whilst only the first three constitute the beginning of a melody that takes the form of a waltz of similar character, the whole being placed under the sign of a simplicity that does not rule out lyricism.","brand":"Alphonse Leduc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50537791684687,"sku":"AFW-00350246","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/1271\/8671\/files\/AFW-00350246.jpg?v=1790611427","url":"https:\/\/amadeussheetmusic.com\/products\/afw-00350246","provider":"Amadeus Sheet Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
