F-sharp minor, 6/8 time, Andantino. Believed to have been composed before 1883, this is an early work by Albéniz. Mallorca is famous as the island where Chopin spent time with George Sand. A romantic melody is sung leisurely throughout, carried by the rocking motion of a duple-meter barcarolle. It is interesting that the melody from Chopin's Ballade No. 1 is used at the beginning. By adding nuances to the sound in accordance with the melodic movement, a delicate beauty can be expressed.
