Cesta de flores / Corbeille des fleurs Op. 9 - Teresa Carreño (Score)

Patreon: / classicalmusicanalysis
Score of Teresa Carreño's 'Corbeille des fleurs' ('Basket of flowers') Op. 9, published around 1867. This waltz screams Chopin, from overall allusions like the Ocean-étude wink at 2:50 or the Heroic-polonaise's ending chords nod at 8:01 to more specific idiomatic gestures like the leading-tone-icization of an ascending dominant arpeggio resolving in a German augmented sixth chord (0:58) or a descending third-note motif in the melody that clashes harmonically with the dominant chord played by the left hand (1:24; 4:54).
Teresa Carreño (1853-1917) was a Venezuelan composer, pianist and singer, considered one of the most prolific latinamerican female pianists of her time. She published around 75 works, mostly short piano pieces, and almost all of them were composed before she was 20 years old. Before that age she already met (and received compliments from) Brahms, Rossini, Liszt and others. She played for U.S President Abraham Lincoln when she was only 9, and Amy Beach - who has been featured in this YT channel ( • Les Rêves de Colombine... ) - dedicated her Piano Concerto to Carreño.
Performer: Clara Rodriguez

Can someone explain to me how 4:21 is played? My ears can't differentiate the notes in the left and the beats. I plan to learn this piece but I'm confused how it's somehow together, yet the downbeats are bit confusing!?

@@watermelon_seeds2539 Well, you can play both notes at the same time. I play some both with only may left hand and some I play the upper note with the right thumb. But that only works if you can reach 11th.

This sounds beautiful! Looking to learn this piece, but I'm a little doubtful I'll be able to do it. How difficult would you say this piece is compared to some more widely known pieces?
