El sueño del niño / Le sommeil de l'enfant - Teresa Carreño (Score)

Patreon: / classicalmusicanalysis
Score of Teresa Carreño's berceuse 'Le sommeil de l'enfant' ('The boy's sleep'), published in 1872. This calm lullaby grows from its catchy main motiv, presented at the first bar, and goes from the peaceful key of F major to its tritone, the brilliant B major, coming back later gently to the initial tonality.
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.
