Though a short piece, its composition spanned a long period.

Song

Song is Lento. It is based on an old Catalan tale about "Lady Isabel," who is forced to marry an old man. In G minor, it is written without bar lines or a time signature. The accompaniment of sixteenth notes, which seems to permeate the depths of the heart, sounds mournful throughout. Play three-dimensionally while listening to the polyphonic sonorities.

Dance

Dance is derived from a dance called "Courtly Gallop" from the Pyrenees. Molto amabile, in G major, 2/4 time, its charm lies in its sweet and nostalgic melody. The half notes that occasionally resonate within the melody lend a gentler atmosphere to the tune.
