An arrangement for oboe and piano of a short characterful piece originally intended to be sung. The tempo of the realisation is 132 quarter note or (crotchet) bpm. Enrique Granados (1867 – 1916) was a Spanish nationalist composer born in Catalonia. While he composed art music there are many folk elements incorporated into his style as is the case with this short song or tonadilla. The small notes do not feature in the playback. This is an excellent performance piece giving opportunity to players to slow down at the end of phrases even to the point of exaggeration. Both the major and minor forms of the scale are also explored. An ideal piece as an encore. Piano accompaniments are also in place. This is the perfect piece to learn about the performing aspects of music where instrumentalists can explore the tonal and tempo aspects of their playing. The title roughly translates as "The Tralala and the Picking".
