From the beginning, this duet is exuberant and joyful. A chromatic introduction, a driving accompaniment, and fast scales and arpeggios characterize the first verse. Hearkening back to the melody’s Spanish roots, the second verse takes the form of a mysterious habanera. Full piano scales for both pianists bring in verse three, which features hints of the original accompaniment pattern.
Included in the download file is the full score and performance notes with lyrics. Although both parts are for advanced pianists, the primo part is somewhat more difficult than the secundo, containing most of the scales and arpeggios. Permission for 2 copies of the PDF is granted, as long as the second copy is used for home rehearsal only.
