Manuel De Falla's 'Canción' - World Piano Day 2021

To celebrate Piano Day 2021 (on the 88th day of the year, as there are 88 notes on a conventional pianoforte keyboard), we publish a new engraving of Manuel de Falla's exquisitely lyrical piece for piano, Canción. Written in 1900, it is not to be confused with his other work by the same name: Canción, the sixth song in the suite Siete Canciones popolares Española.

Fullscore Music also publish an arrangement of this beautiful little tune for Flute (or Clarinet in Bb/Alto sax in Eb) & Piano; free download (al keys included) here.

Listen to a beautiful recording of the piece by Brazilian pianist Christina Ortiz, from 1975:
